2016 GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump has been hurling insult after insult on the campaign trail.

Trump has let loose on both Democrats and Republicans, rival candidates, lawmakers, journalists and even pop culture icons...Here are Trump's most notable insults so far in the 2016 campaign:

Love it! Take no prisoners.

[JohnBrowdie]

we have no idea what his positions are on most of the significant issues of the day, but people are going to eat up a story about his schoolyard zingers.

[Da Coyote]

Anything that torques off liberals if fine with me.

No, not fine, outstanding.

Superb!

Trump's insults can't hold a candle to "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor" and "we've got to pass it to find out what's in it" and "the average insurance premium will decrease by $2500 per year."

You want insults, those are insults.

[Patriot Babe]

AMEN !!! I am loving every bit of it =)

[Taxman]

You hit the nail on the head!

Deserves repeating: “AMEN !!! I am loving every bit of it.”

[Fiddlstix]

BINGO!!!

Nailed It!

I’d like to see a faceoff between Trump the Insult Candidate and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. My money’d be on Trump.

If you are interested in Trumps policy on anything, read his book.

Hillary Clinton — “Hillary Clinton was the worst secretary of State in the history of the United States,” Trump told Business Insider.

Insults? These sound more like “facts”.

I realize that it's dogma from your employers that Trump can do no right, but you really must work on your subtlety. This is a thread where you would have been well advised to simply sit back. (Or are you paid by the post count?)

Trump is the only candidate that has, in my memory, responded to Leftist attacks by counterattack, asking the questions that they won't answer, pointing out the hypocrisy of the supporting press.

I'm aware that focused trolling is a successful tactic with Democrat social media. It's easy to steer the mentally wheelchair bound. Not so much on this side of the fence...

"During his interview, Trump told Cooper: "The people don’t trust you and the people don’t trust the media."

What Trump should have told Cooper is not only do people not trust him, they don't even LIKE him. He should quit CNN and do advertisements for KY intense gel.

If you are interested in Trumps policy on anything, read his book.

his last one, or his next one? his views change book to book.

[Souled_Out]

So you have gone from knowing nothing about his positions on issues, to someone that knows all of his positions.

Do a little reading of what he wrote when he ran in 12.

[Souled_Out]

Everyone needs to read his solutions to make an informed decision.

How about he loves America and will work hard to restore it on every level. That do it for ya?

When it comes to insults, Winston Churchill was a member of the Varsity team. I should say, 'in my opinion,' because that's exactly what that is: my opinion. I like a healthy dose of wit with my insults.

Trump's insults either appear to be him speaking bluntly - such as saying that Hillary Clinton was the worst Secretary of State* - or just bullying.

*I assume Donald forgot about SoS John Foster Dulles, who essentially gave us the remarkably effective and efficient United Nations - bad enough on its own, but on US soil and the US pocketbook to boot. The only good thing about John Foster Dulles may have been that Carol Burnett got her start in show business as an amateur featured on a talent show singing a song titled "I'm in love with John Foster Dulles.".

John Quincy Adams' SoS, Henry Clay was one of the architects of federal involvement in interstate commerce, if I remember correctly. Clay believed in commerce between states and set up federal intermarket roads, marketplaces, and other unnecessary federal mechanisms and intrusions into commerce among states. I'd always thought he was a powerful SoS who expanded the role of the federal government into commerce between individuals residing in different states.

However, it's late on Sunday night and I'm desperately trying to remember former Secretaries of State who we'd have been better off without . . . and I can't name that many Secretaries of State that predate my lifetime.
