11. Trump: "Waterboarding (And More) Works"

Numerous times throughout the campaign trail, Trump criticised Barack Obama for his stance against waterboarding, claiming that it is an effective technique for obtaining information and ensuring national security.

He vowed to bring the "enhanced interrogation" technique back if elected (yikes), and stated that he would also bring "a hell of a lot worse".

Perhaps most insane of all is that Trump said, "Even if it doesn't work, they deserve it anyway for what they're doing to us."

Or maybe they didn't do anything and you're torturing a total innocent? What a truly scary time it is to be any colour but white...
