It seems that every time Donald Trump opens his mouth, a maelstrom of controversial words come out — and things have only got worse as he’s begun his presidential campaign.

From his comments about “rapist” immigrants to his attack against John McCain, Trump has many Americans in uproar over his fighting words. He may or may not make it very far in the 2016 presidential election, but one thing’s for certain: it’s going to one heck of a show.

Watch his most controversial and outrageous statements in the video above.
