Now that the Republican candidate for the 2016 Presidential election is none other than billionaire property and media mogul Donald Trump, we've been keeping tabs on what he's got to say for himself.

Worryingly, this is a condensed list.

On assassinating Hillary Clinton

Trump has been accused of making an assassination threat against Hillary Clinton as their bid for presidency continues. Speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, the Republican said "Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the second amendment [the right to have a gun].” He continued “if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the second amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day.” Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager, swiftly said "this is simple – what Trump is saying is dangerous. A person seeking to be the president of the United States should not suggest violence in any way.”

On the mother of a fallen Muslim US soldier

Humayun Khan, died in a suicide bombing in Iraq in 2004, and his parents Khizr Khan and Ghazala Khan spoke at the Democratic National Conference. Trump criticised the late soldier's mother for not saying anything (she was too emotional to speak), forcing her to later record a message on Facebook. Trump said, “His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably ... maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me. But plenty of people have written that. She was extremely quiet. And it looked like she had nothing to say.”

On Hillary Clinton's missing email debacle - and looking for help from Russia

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

And in case saying it out loud wasn't enough, Trump emphasised these sentiments in a tweet:

If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted emails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2016

On abortions

After suggesting women get "some form of punishment" for having an abortion during an interview on US TV, he reversed his statement after being widely criticised by anti-abortion groups. Now he suggests that doctors or those who perform the abortions should be punished, not the women having them.

On the UN which he hates. Or loves. Or hates

"The United Nations is not a friend of democracy. It's not a friend to freedom. It's not a friend even to the United States of America, where as all know, it has its home. And it surely isn’t a friend to Israel."

Which followed a speech he made in 2005 as a commercial development expert before a Senate subcommittee. At the time, he was looking into the growing costs of renovations of the UN headquarters in New York.

"I have to start by saying I'm a big fan, a very big fan, of the United Nations and all it stands for... the concept of the United Nations and the fact that the United Nations is in New York is very important to me and very important to the world, as far as I am concerned. So I am a big fan."
