- Trump calling immigrants “rapists” who are “bringing drugs” and “crime”
- Trump mocking a reporter with a disability
- Trump insulting Sen. John McCain and American prisoners of war
- Trump pledging to bring back waterboarding and “a hell of a lot worse” torture
- Trump joking he could shoot someone “in the middle of 5th Avenue” and not lose support
