Top Trumps: Republican presidential candidate's most controversial comments
US presidential candidate Donald Trump has caused global outrage after crude and inappropriate comments made by him about women surfaced.
However, it is certainly not the first time that comments made by the Republican have caused controversy. Here are some of the most outrageous comments made by the billionaire businessman:
Trump on women
The comments made by Donald Trump which have recently surfaced are hardly the first time the billionaire has made derogatory comments about women.
In a 1991 interview with Esquire magazine Trump said: "You know, it doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of a**."
While in New York Magaine in 1992 Trump said about women: “You have to treat ’em like s***."
Trump's various comments about women led Fox News' Megyn Kelly to confront him about his sexist behaviour during the GOP on August 6. She said: "You have called women you don’t like 'fat pigs', 'dogs', 'slobs', and 'disgusting animals'."
"Only Rosie O'Donnell," he quipped.
Trump on Muslims
In December Donald Trump called for a "total and complete shutdown" on Muslims entering the US.
A ban on Muslims entering America was necessary until US officials were able to understand where their "hatred" for Americans comes from, according to the presidential candidate.
Trump added that the hatred was "beyond comprehension" and that a ban should continue until authorities figure out "what is going on".
Trump on Muslims continued
Just hours after calling for Muslims to be banned from the US, Donald Trump said that the UK had a "massive Muslim problem".
The presidential hopeful also told UK politicians they should be "thanking him" instead of "pandering to political correctness".
The presidential hopeful also said that some parts of London are "that are so radicialised that the police are afraid for their own lives".
Trump on Barack Obama
Back in 2011, before Donald Trump was a presidential candidate he waded into the birther debate, stating that an 'extremely credible source' told him that President Barack Obama's birth certificate was a fake.
After the president released the long-form version of his birth certificate, Trump said he was "proud of myself because I've accomplished something nobody has been able to accomplish."
Obama later joked on Jay Leno's Tonight Show that Trump's grudge with him goes way, way back - to their childhood days in Kenya.
Trump on John McCain
Donald Trump has refused to apologise for attacking former-Republican presidential candidate John McCain for being captured during the Vietnam war.
Trump sparked outrage in July 2015 when he told a forum in Iowa: "He's [John McCain] not a war hero - he was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
McCain was tortured for five years as a prisoner of war after being shot down in 1967.
Trump mocks dead US Muslim soldier's mother
Donald Trump mocked a dead US Muslim soldier's mother saying maybe she "wasn't allowed to have anything to say" as she stood alongside her husband as he gave a speech attacking the Republican presidential candidate at the Democratic National Convention.
Ghazala Khan responded that she did not speak because she was overwhelmed with grief, and added that said she was upset by Mr Trump's comments.
Ms Khan's son Humayun was killed by a car bomb in 2004 while serving in Iraq. He was just 27.
Trump and the Mexican wall
Donald Trump has repeatedly said that if elected president, he would build a wall along the border between the US and Mexico.
During the third Republican debate in the run up to the party's presidential candidate selection, Donald Trump said: "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."
More recently Trump has even promised to [make Mexico pay for the "impenetrable and beautiful wall"](http://Donald Trump has promised to make Mexico pay for an "impenetrable and beautiful" wall between the two countries.), something the country's president has vehemently denied will happen.
Trump on Mexicans
Presumably Donald Trump wants to build his colossal wall due to his views on Mexicans.
When Trump announced his presidential run in June 2015, he caused outrage by making inflammatory remarks suggesting Mexican immigrants were "criminals" and "rapists".
"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.
"They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you.
"They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.
They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.
"And some, I assume, are good people."
His comment cost him to lose business deals with five companies and his association with broadcasters NBC was cancelled.
Trump on African Americans
When appealing to African American voters Donald Trump asked them: "What do you have to lose? You're living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58% of your youth are unemployed - what the hell do you have to lose?"
Trump on his daughter Ivanka
The comments made by Trump in 2005 which have recently surfaced are not the first time he has made uncomfortable remarks about women.
When he appeared on television chat show The View in 2006 he commented on his own daughter Ivanka, saying: "She does have a very nice figure. If [she] weren't my daughter, perhaps, I'd be dating her."
Trump on Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama isn't the only Democrat Trump has taken pot-shots at. He has saved some of his most outrageous comments for his rival Hillary Clinton.
Aside from repeatedly referring to the Democratic presidential candidate as "Crooked Hillary" - usually often accompanied to the chats of "lock her up" by his supporters - in 2015 he retweeted a controversial comment made by another Twitter user which referenced the Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton affair scandal in 1998.
The tweet said: "If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?"
The retweet was deleted three hours later with Trump claiming it was an unidentified member of his team that made the mistake.
Trump on disability
During a campaign speech in November 2015, Trump caused outrage by apparently mocking New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski's disability.
Doing an impression that saw him flail his arms and put on a strange voice, he said: "ou gotta see this guy: 'Uh, I don’t know what I said. I don’t remember.'"
Kovaleski was born with arthrogryposis which causes a person's joints to get stuck in one position and weakened or missing muscles.
Trump on global warming
According to Donald Trump it doesn't exist.
The billionaire has long insisted that he is not a "believer in climate change" describing extreme changes in the environment as simply "weather".
In 2014 he tweeted: "This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bulls*** has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps,and our GW scientists are stuck in ice."
He has even called it a Chinese conspiracy and said, on a particularly cold day, that "we could use a big fat dose of global warming!"
Trump on being politically correct
"I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest you, this country doesn't have time either."
