If a 12 year old boy who ends every sentence with O.K, Believe me , It's terrible, or It's great, is your idea of solid government then Trump is your candidate. Mix in the verbal deliveries of Gilbert Gottfried, Andrew Dice Clay and Joan Rivers and you have for yourself the perfect opening act at "Catch A Rising Star".
In case you missed some of his more profound exclamations this list should bring you up to date:

"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" Trump tweeted early Saturday morning in one part of a six-tweet tirade that began just after 6:30 a.m.
"How low has President Obama gone to tap my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy," Trump tweeted.

"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being – you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that.

“He won the championships in New York, AFC, I think twice,” Trump said as he praised Rex Ryan, via ESPN’s Mike Rodak. Ryan led the Jets to two appearances in the AFC Championship Game but never made it to the Super Bowl, let alone actually winning one.

“I wrote this out, and it’s very close to my heart,” he said at the First Niagara Center on Monday night during the rally. “Because I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down.
I Will Absolutely Use A Nuclear Weapon Against ISIS. It starts with the deployment of four or five of our Ohio-class nuclear submarines to the Persian Gulf,” Trump said. “We’re going to hit them and we’re going to hit them hard. I’m talking about a surgical strike on these ISIS stronghold cities using Trident missiles.” 3/31/2016

Because there is a hostility towards me, by the Judge, a tremendous hostility, beyond belief, I believe he happens to be Spanish, which is fine, he's Hispanic which is fine, and we haven't asked for a recusal, which we may do, but we have a Judge who is very hostile. 2-27-16
After losing a legal challenge to prevent the building of a wind farm within sight of his golf course, the Trump Organization shot back in a statement from executive George Sorial, saying the outcome "demonstrates the foolish, small minded and parochial mentality which dominates the current Scottish Government's dangerous experiment with wind energy."In a second statement from the Trump Organization, a representative labeled Salmond, who was the leader of Scotland's parliament until late last year, as "a has-been and totally irrelevant."
"Does anyone care what this man thinks?" read the statement. He should go back to doing what he does best — unveiling pompous portraits of himself that pander to his already overinflated ego."
During a speech following a Democratic debate, Trump turned up the temperature, saying that Clinton was "disgusting" for using a restroom during a commercial break of a debate.
"I know where she went," Trump said. "It's disgusting. I don't want to talk about it. It's too disgusting. Don't say it. It's disgusting. Let's not talk, we want to be very, very straight up, OK?"
Halperin: "Sometimes there’s been a backlash against rich candidates like Mitt Romney. Any chance of that with you, do you think?" Trump: " Well, I don’t know. First of all, he wasn’t rich." (Romney had an estimated $400M at the time of his candidacy).
"There were thousands of people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down." –Donald Trump, making an unfounded accusation regarding the 9/11 attacks

"Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people." –Donald Trump
"I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me —and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words."
"If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America." –Donald Trump
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

Trump To Crowd: 'Knock The Crap Out Of' Tomato Throwers, I'll Cover Legal Fees"
"I'd bring back waterboarding," Trump said during the debate. "And I'd bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding."
"OK you're not allowed to say and I never expect to hear that from you again. She said — I never expect to hear that from you again — she said he's a pussy," Trump said as the crowd erupted into a roaring cacophony of laughter and applause.
During his New Hampshire victory speech, Donald Trump talked about the unemployment rate. "Don’t believe those phony numbers when you hear 4.9 and 5 percent unemployment," he said. "The number’s probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42 percent."
P.T. Barnum Without Integrity:
What happened: Trump launched his own mortgage company in 2006, and his son predicted that it would be the No. 1 home-loan lender in the US. And then … the housing market completely crashed in 2007. Trump's mortgage company was shut down after a year and a half.
Shortly after the company's launch Trump said on CNBC: "I think it's a great time to start a mortgage company … who knows about financing better than I do?"
What happened: Trump launched his name-brand steaks specifically for Sharper Image (and naturally graced the cover of the Sharper Image catalogue) in 2007. They have since been discontinued.
The prices ranged from $199 for a pack of 12 steak burgers and four steaks, all the way up to $999 for a selection of 16 top cuts.
Bonus: The Trump Steakhouse in Las Vegas was briefly shut down following 51 health code violations, including expired yogurt and five-month old duck.
What Trump said about his namesake meats: "When it comes to great steaks, I've just raised the stakes! … Trump Steaks are the world's greatest steaks … Treat yourself to the very, very best life has to offer … One bite and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. And believe me: I understand steaks. They're my favorite food."
What happened: Trump dipped his toes into the "super premium" vodka industry around 2006. It's unclear when exactly Trump Vodka was shut down, but by 2011 the drink was no longer being produced "under the Trump trademark because the company failed to meet the threshold requirements," Trump's people said, according to Gothamist.
However, perhaps Trump should have considered expanding into the global "super premium" vodka market. Much to his annoyance, in 2011 Trump's name-brand vodkas were being sold in Israel without authorization.
What Trump said about the vodka when it launched: "By the summer of '06, I fully expect the most called for cocktail in America to be the T&T or the Trump and Tonic."
What happened: GoTrump.com was a search engine for bargains on luxury travel deals. It was powered by Travelocity.com, so it started off pretty well. However, the site was quickly ripped apart by critics, and it was shut down after a year.
What Trump said when he launched the site: "It doesn't matter how rich you are. You don't want to be a fool and you want to get the best deal. But people who aren't rich want to associate with rich, and that's why this thing has become so crazy."
"When you get millions of people using your service, and you get X dollars per person, it adds up to a lot of money."
What happened: Trump bought Eastern Air Shuttle in 1988, which had been running for 27 years between Boston, NYC, and D.C., and updated it to make it look more glitzy and Trump-esque. But because it was a short-distance airline, customers weren't looking for a luxury experience — just something that was convenient. The style-savvy investment was a bust.
On top of that, the pre-Gulf War fuel prices were extremely high. The airline never turned profit, and Trump defaulted on his loans.
What Trump said about the airlines in retrospect: "It worked out well for me … I ran an airline for a couple of years and made a couple of bucks. The airline business is a tough business, [but] I did great with it."

What happened: Trump Entertainment Resorts filed for corporate bankruptcy four times. The first time was after the Trump Taj Mahal's construction in 1991. The next time was in 2004, when it "filed for voluntary bankruptcy after accumulating $1.8 billion in debt." Next came 2008-2009, when the company missed a $53.1 million bond interest payment. (The stock dropped to 23 cents per share from $4.)
And finally, in September 2014, the company filed for bankruptcy once again.
(The company still exists despite its bankruptcy.)
What Trump said about the bankruptcies in court: "I don't like the 'B' word."
Additionally, during an MSNBC interview, Michael Isikoff asked Trump what exactly he was paid for if he "had nothing to do with running the company."
And Trump replied to that: "Excuse me … Because of my genius. OK?"

What happened: In 2005, Trump opened Trump University, a for-profit but non-accredited school where he would bestow his industry expertise upon the masses — aka anyone who forked over $35,000. That same year, he licensed his name to an affiliate program called the Trump Institute.
In 2010, four students sued the "university" for "offering classes that amounted to extended 'infomercials,' 'selling non-accredited products,' and 'taking advantage of these troubled economic times to prey on consumer's fears.'"
The "university" then changed its name to "The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative."
And in 2013, the New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sued Trump and Trump University for allegedly defrauding students.
The business officially ended operations in 2011.
Trump compared his ideas to Einstein's in the "Trump University Entrepreneurship 101" official book: "Albert Einstein believed that a 'Theory of Everything' in physics unified the four primal forces of nature: gravity, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and electromagnetic force. Our unifying theory for sustainable success in business is so much simpler. […] The Customer Is Everything!"
What Trump said about Trump University: "I went to the Wharton School of Finance … I have a great feeling for education and for knowledge and learning … I love the idea of helping people, because I’ve had a lot of experience with real estate, to put it mildly."
