The Donald’s four-year boredom drought is only just beginning

In contrast to Barack Obama, Donald Trump offers a lack of inner change we certainly can believe in.

Donald Trump in The Advocate, February 15, 2000:

One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good ­people don’t go into government.

Also in that Advocate interview:

Washington is in gridlock, and nothing is getting done. No healthcare reform, no tax relief, no campaign finance reform. The special interests run the country. I think it will take a non-politician to break the logjam.

Trump on June 16, 2015:

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.

On Twitter, May 8, 2013:

Sorry losers and haters, but my IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.

Trump in How to Get Rich (2004):

All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected. A sexual dynamic is always present between people, unless you are asexual.

Access Hollywood recording from 2005, released October 7 last year:

When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything … Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.

Being a gentleman on Twitter, October 28, 2012:

While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.

In Think Like a Billionaire (2004):

The day I realised it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience.

On John McCain, July 2015:

He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.

Trump on The View in April 2006, quizzed about how he’d react if Playboy put his daughter Ivanka on its cover:

I don’t think Ivanka would do that (pose nude) inside the magazine. Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps, I would be dating her. Is that terrible?

In The Art of the Comeback (1997):

I love women. They’ve come into my life. They’ve gone out of my life. Even those who have exited somewhat ungracefully still have a place in my heart. I only have one regret in the women department — that I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer. I met her on a number of occasions.

On CNN on September 24, 2015:

I don’t mind being criticised. I’ll never, ever complain.

In Think Big (2007):

When someone crosses you, my advice is “Get even!” … If you do not get even, you are just a schmuck!

On the Trump University Trump blog on March 13, 2008:

I know Hillary and I think she’d make a great president.

On July 9, 2015:

Hillary will be a disaster …

In The Advocate in 2000:

Advocate: Do you think you can win?

Trump: Maybe not. I believe in straight talk. Maybe I’m too blunt to be in politics, but I’m not about to change … But I guarantee you this: if I do run, it won’t be boring.
