Business magnate and Republican presidential contender Donald Trump is one of the biggest love/hate figures of the US election.

Whilst proving himself worthy of a follow on Twitter (but more for entertainment value), Trump is the king of controversial.

The real estate magnate and television personality, whose fortune is valued at $9bn (approximately £5.7bn) is a presidential nominee along with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Flamboyant by nature, Trump has made some rather outrageous statements over the years.

In early December 2015, Trump called for a ban on Muslims entering the US in response to a recent shooting spree in San Bernardino by two Muslims, who the FBI said had been radicalised.

It has caused global outrage and a petition to ban Trump from Britain was debated in Parliament after it reached more than 100,000 signatures.
