Donald Trump has always been known for his unfiltered words

To his critics, reckless.
Either way, his quotes have left a lasting mark that still sparks outrage
and debate across America.
Here are 7 of Trump’s most controversial quotes — the ones
that people can’t stop talking about, even today.
Quotes
1. “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”

This remark about immigrants ignited international backlash.
Some saw it as proof of his blunt honesty, others as deeply offensive.

one sentence that defined his immigration stance
and polarized the nation.

5. “Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.”
Perhaps the most scandalous Trump quote ever recorded
leaked before the 2016 election.
