A brief review of our 2016 election coverage will reveal an unsurprising truth — “love” is a word that candidates past and present tend not to use very often. This is especially the case whenever the political or media discourse turns to Republican front-runner Donald Trump, whose violent campaign rallies and aggressive policy proposals don’t bring “love” to mind. To fix this particular gaping hole in the New York real-estate mogul’s image, Jimmy Kimmel Live put together a supercut of all the times Trump has ever talked about love during one of his many, many rambling speeches.
Turns out Trump loves a lot of things, and not just the “poorly educated” and attractive Washington Post reporters. The Donald also adores:
- this county
- free trade
- building buildings
- hopping around
- people that faint
- potatoes
- tough people
- protesters
- women
- China
- Mexico
- Mexican people
- Hispanics
- Evangelicals
- Mormons
- pretty much anyone or anything else he can dedicate his oratory skills to
Then again, as talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel points out, “The first thing you have to learn is to love yourself, and clearly he does.” There’s no debating the fact that a man who sells his own last name as a brand and adorns buildings with it in gold lettering loves himself.
