Politician quotes that make Donald Trump look pleasant – There is a Presidential election in the greatest country on Earth later this year. Arguably the biggest story however, nearly as contentious and interesting as the election itself, is one candidate. Donald Trump, the billionaire, real estate developer, television personality, entrepreneur…whatever you want to call him, is finally running for the Republican nomination and he’s the biggest story in the game of politics right now.

There are plenty of questions being thrown around with regard to Trump’s political aspirations. Can a businessman run a government? That’s one, and while plenty of people argue a government must operate in a fundamentally different manner from a profit based business, Trump supporters argue that a man concerned with financial considerations may be what Washington needs to combat the current money-hemorrhaging problem. Another question is whether or not a politician can just say what’s on his mind.
Ever since he threw his name into the fight, Trump has been saying what has come to mind, whether it be about Muslims, Mexicans, journalists, whoever. Again, his detractors argue that politicians need to be careful with their words and speak diplomatically. On the other hand, those who like him consider most politicians to be slimy cowards whose ability with words amounts to little more than lies, thus making a man who speaks his mind like The Donald an attractive choice.
His colorful statements about the Mexicans in the United States being criminals and barring all Muslims from entering the U.S. have been the most divisive of the campaign so far. With that said however, he isn’t the first politician to say ridiculous things that warranted massive “face-palms”. Here are some other ridiculous, absurd and terrible quotes from political leaders who make Trump seem…almost normal. Almost.
12. Steve Stockman – Babies and Guns
“If babies had guns, they wouldn’t be aborted“.
Steve Stockman is a Texan and Republican who has held office twice in the House of Representatives. Back in 2013, Stockman was running for office after a fifteen year hiatus from politics and came up with this gem for a bumper sticker. The statement sure does indicate that Stockman is pro-life and pro-gun, but even as a meaningless bumper sticker, it earned him little in the way of fans who weren’t already supporters.
I’ll admit, when I first read this quote it brought a thought to mind of an old Family Guy gag in which a baby was born with a gun, and proceeded to hold the doctor and his mother hostage. I wonder if that’s where Stockman got the idea…
