Donald Trump citations

Donald Trump, né le 14 juin 1946 à New York, est un homme d'affaires, animateur de télévision et homme d'État américain, président des États-Unis depuis le 20 janvier 2017.

Donald Trump travaille dans l'entreprise familiale à partir de 1968, pendant ses études à l’école de commerce de Wharton de l'université de Pennsylvanie. Il en prend la tête en 1971 de l'entreprise de son père Elizabeth Trump & Son et la renomme ensuite The Trump Organization. En 1995, il fonde la Trump Entertainment Resorts. Donald Trump bâtit son empire et sa notoriété sur des bâtiments prestigieux qui portent généralement son nom. Une partie de ses immeubles les plus connus — dont plusieurs gratte-ciel, parmi lesquels la Trump Tower — se trouvent dans l'État de New York, mais il possède également des casinos comme le Trump Taj Mahal d'Atlantic City, des résidences de luxe, des terrains de golf, et réalise de nombreux investissements dans les domaines les plus divers .

Célébrité médiatique aux États-Unis dès les années 1980, impliqué dans le secteur du divertissement télévisuel, il est notamment, de 2004 à 2015, l'animateur de l'émission de téléréalité The Apprentice.

Engagé en politique à partir des années 1980, il devient de façon inattendue le candidat du Parti républicain à l'issue des primaires de 2016. Candidat singulier dans l'histoire politique américaine, Trump mène une campagne atypique, avec une équipe relativement réduite et un usage intensif des réseaux sociaux, en particulier de Twitter. Se présentant comme un adversaire de l'establishment et du politiquement correct, il se distingue également par un ton très polémique et par un discours populiste, réactionnaire, nationaliste, isolationniste, protectionniste et climato-sceptique, ainsi que par des propositions radicales visant à réduire l'immigration et de nombreuses contre-vérités.

Sa victoire à l'élection présidentielle de novembre 2016 face à la candidate démocrate Hillary Clinton déjoue la plupart des pronostics. À sa prise de fonction, il est le président américain le plus âgé et le plus riche jamais élu. Il est également le premier candidat qui accède à la présidence sans jamais avoir exercé de fonction politique ou militaire.

Dès son installation au pouvoir, il signe une série de décrets présidentiels qui provoquent de fortes polémiques aussi bien au niveau national qu'international.

Donald Trump citations célèbres

“[Les Musulmanes] ne veulent pas de liberté! Je vais vous dire : récemment, j'ai discuté avec quelqu'un, une personne dont je tairai le nom parce que c'est vraiment gênant… Et cette personne me disait : « Nous voulons libérer les femmes du vous-savez-quoi. » D'abord, j'ai répondu : « Oui, ça paraît logique. C'est sympa. » Et puis, j'ai vu des entretiens de femmes. Elles disaient : « Mais nous ne voulons pas la retirer, on la porte depuis des millénaires. Pourquoi quelqu'un nous y forcerait-il? » Elles le veulent! Mince alors! Pourquoi va-t-on s'embourber dans ce débat? En fait, c'est même pratique : elles n'ont même plus à mettre de maquillage. Regardez comme elles sont belles… Est-ce que ce ne serait pas plus simple? Je vous le dis : si j'étais une femme, hop! « Et voilà chéri, je suis prête! » Sérieusement… La raison pour laquelle je ne peux pas dire le nom de la personne, c'est parce que c'est un républicain. Mais les démocrates n'en pensent pas moins! Ils veulent de la démocratie. Mais on ne peut plus avoir de démocratie…”

It's like I saw somebody, and I won't even say because it's embarrassing: 'We want it where the women over there don't have to wear the you-know-what.' I saw a woman interviewed. They said 'We want to wear them, we've worn them for a thousand years. Why would anybody tell us not?' They want to ! What the hell are we getting involved for? Fact is, it's easy. You don't have to put on makeup, look how beautiful everyone looks. Wouldn't it be easier? Right? Wouldn't that be easy? I'll tell ya, if I was a woman I don't want to. "I'm ready, darling, let's go!"

“[…] — je suis allé à Bruxelles il y a longtemps, il y a vingt ans, si belle, tout était si beau — aujourd’hui, c’est comme vivre en enfer.”

[…] — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful — it’s like living in a hellhole right now.

“Hillary Clinton is a bigot who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future.”

2010s, 2016, August, Speech in Jackson, Mississippi (August 24, 2016)
Contexte: Hillary Clinton is a bigot who sees people of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future. She’s going to do nothing for African-Americans. She’s going to do nothing for the Hispanics. She’s only going to take care of herself, her consultants, her donors, these are the people she cares about. She doesn’t care what her policies have done to your communities. She doesn’t care. Remember this, you’ve had her policies — Democrats running some of the inner cities for 50, 70, 80, even over 100 years. And look what you have right now: poverty, no education, crime, you can’t walk down the street with your child. We’re going to fix it. Hillary Clinton has no remorse. I will fight to create a better future for every American.

“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters”

Speech at campaign rally http://time.com/4191598/donald-trump-says-he-could-shoot-somebody-and-not-lose-voters/ (23 January 2016), Sioux Center, Iowa.
2010s, 2016, January
Contexte: The people, my people, are so smart, and you know what they say about my people? The polls. They say I have the most loyal people — did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters. It's like incredible. No, they say, "Trump we love you too." Trump's voters are by far, ya know, I'm at sixty-eight and sixty-nine percent, I'm at ninety percent, total, like, "Will you say absolutely?" I think it's sixty-eight and sixty-nine percent. "Will you most likely stay?" That gets into the nineties. Other guys like a ten. A guy like Jeb Bush, he has a nobody, but he's like, they don't have people. They have nothing. Rubio, soft. They're all soft. My people stay, by the way, Cruz, soft. When they heard about this thing with that he was bordering Canada, nobody knew them? He lost a lot of people! He's gone down big in the polls. Ted Cruz has gone down big in the polls. That doesn't mean he's giving us a fight in Iowa, that doesn't mean you can stay home, okay, see, you with the smile? It doesn't mean that. You gotta go out cause we can't take any chances.

“Those cameras are not going on the move unless we have a protester. If we had a protester that’s the only time they move because they’re showing something that in their mind is a bad thing, so then they move.”

2010s, 2016, August, Speech at rally in Wilmington, North Carolina (August 9, 2016)
Contexte: Those cameras are not going on the move unless we have a protester. If we had a protester that’s the only time they move because they’re showing something that in their mind is a bad thing, so then they move. But I like that, I’ve always liked my protesters because the cameras show these massive crowds and people say wow, was that a big crowd.

“Some people will say, ‘Freedom of speech, Freedom of speech’. These are foolish people.”

Google's Eric Schmidt calls for 'spell-checkers for hate and harassment' https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/08/googles-eric-schmidt-spell-checkers-hate-harassment-terrorism, 8 December 2015, by Alex Hern.
2010s, 2015
Contexte: We are losing a lot of people to the Internet. We have to do something. We have to go see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what’s happening. We have to talk to them [about], maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way. Some people will say, ‘Freedom of speech, Freedom of speech’. These are foolish people.

“Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we're in. I would never have handled it that way.”

Esquire magazine (August 2004); "Donald Trump: How I'd Run the Country (Better)" (18 August 2015) http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/interviews/a37230/donald-trump-esquire-cover-story-august-2004/
2000s
Contexte: My life is seeing everything in terms of "How would I handle that?" Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we're in. I would never have handled it that way. Does anybody really believe that Iraq is going to be a wonderful democracy where people are going to run down to the voting box and gently put in their ballot and the winner is happily going to step up to lead the county? C'mon. Two minutes after we leave, there's going to be a revolution, and the meanest, toughest, smartest, most vicious guy will take over. And he'll have weapons of mass destruction, which Saddam didn't have. What was the purpose of this whole thing? Hundreds and hundreds of young people killed. And what about the people coming back with no arms and legs? Not to mention the other side. All those Iraqi kids who've been blown to pieces. And it turns out that all of the reasons for the war were blatantly wrong. All this for nothing!

“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.”

2010s, 2015, Presidential Bid Announcement (June 16, 2015)
Contexte: 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. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people. It's coming from more than Mexico. It's coming from all over South and Latin America, and it's coming probably – probably – from the Middle East. But we don't know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don't know what's happening. And it's got to stop and it's got to stop fast.

“I ran it past two or three people. [It's] so simple. It's like the paper clip.”

On his plan to defeat ISIS (May 2015)
2010s, 2015
Contexte: There is a way of beating ISIS so easily, so quickly, so effectively, and it would be so nice... I know a way that would absolutely give us guaranteed victory... the problem is then everybody will take the idea, run with it and then people will forget where it came from... I ran it past two or three people. [It's] so simple. It's like the paper clip.

“We're in a bubble right now. And the only thing that looks good is the stock market, but if you raise interest rates even a little bit, that's going to come crashing down.”

2010s, 2016, September, First presidential debate (September 26, 2016)
Contexte: We have the worst revival of an economy since the Great Depression. And believe me: We're in a bubble right now. And the only thing that looks good is the stock market, but if you raise interest rates even a little bit, that's going to come crashing down.

“What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.”

Trump: Surviving at the Top (1990), p. 3; https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/550046337547665409

“What's the point of having great knowledge and keeping them all to yourself?”
