AMERICA will trigger World War III if it votes Hillary Clinton into the White House, Donald Trump has claimed.

According to “the Donald”, Clinton’s foreign policy will spark widespread nuclear conflict involving nuclear weapons.

Speaking to press at his Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida, Trump suggested the world will pay if he does not win the presidency, saying: “You’re going to end up in World War III over Syria if we listen to Hillary Clinton.

“You’re not fighting Syria any more, you’re fighting Syria, Russia and Iran, all right?

“Russia is a nuclear country, but a country where the nukes work as opposed to other countries that talk.”

The proclamation is far from the first eyebrow-raising statement made by Trump, who says America should “not be focusing on Syria” despite the country’s ongoing civil war and humanitarian crisis.

The Republican candidate’s campaign has been marked by constant controversies about a range of issues from international relations to crime and the environment.

As the November 8 vote looms, we round up a few of his more memorable statements.

ON AMERICA: “In the 1940s we saved the world. The greatest generation beat back the Nazis and Japanese imperialists. Then we saved the world again. This time, from totalitarianism and communism.

“The Cold War lasted for decades but, guess what, we won and we won big. Democrats and Republicans working together got Mr Gorbachev to heed the words of President Reagan, our great president, when he said, tear down this wall.”

ON WALLS: “I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively, I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall.”

ON MEXICO: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs.They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

ON FOREIGN INTERVENTION: “We’re rebuilding other countries while weakening our own. Ending the theft of American jobs will give us resources we need to rebuild our military, which has to happen, and regain our financial independence and strength. I am the only person running for the presidency who understands this and this is a serious problem.

“I’m the only one — believe me, I know them all, I’m the only one who knows how to fix it.

“A Trump administration will lead a free world that is properly armed and funded, and funded beautifully.”

ON CLIMATE CHANGE: “Global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive.”

ON WOMEN: “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful [women] – I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

ON SEX ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS: “The claims are preposterous, ludicrous and defy truth, common sense and logic. We already have substantial evidence to dispute these lies, and it will be made public in an appropriate way and at an appropriate time, very soon.”

ON OBAMA: “Do you remember when the President made a long and expensive trip to Copenhagen, Denmark, to get the Olympics for our country, and after this unprecedented effort, it was announced that the United States came in fourth – fourth place?

“He should have known the result before making such an embarrassing commitment. We were laughed at all over the world, as we have been many, many times.”

ON TERRORISM: “Then there’s ISIS. I have a simple message for them. Their days are numbered. I won’t tell them where and I won’t tell them how.

“We must as a nation be more unpredictable. We are totally predictable. We tell everything. We’re sending troops. We tell them. We’re sending something else. We have a news conference. We have to be unpredictable. And we have to be unpredictable starting now.

“But they’re going to be gone. ISIS will be gone if I’m elected president. And they’ll be gone quickly.”

ON THE WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION: “We’ll renegotiate or pull out. These trade deals are a disaster. The World Trade Organisation is a disaster.”

ON MUSLIMS: “Donald J Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown on Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. We have no choice.

“We have to look at mosques. We have to see what’s happening, because something is happening in there.

“Man, there’s anger. There’s anger and we have to know about it.”

ON “EXTREME VETTING” FOR VISITORS TO THE US: “Why are we committing suicide? We have problems in Germany and problems in France. It’s their own fault because they allowed people to come into their territory. That’s why Brexit happened, the UK is saying ‘we’re tired of this’.”
