For us, though, it's the sexist comments he's made about women over the years that especially got our backs up - obviously, because we're women - so thought we'd compile a handy guide of his top 15 clangers over the last few decades.
Prepare to want to throw something at a wall. Or Donald Trump.
1. 'You know, it doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass.'

Esquire interview in 1991.
2. 'I mean, we could say politically correct that look doesn't matter, but the look obviously matters. Like you wouldn't have your job if you weren't beautiful.'
-
A clip on Last Week Tonight where he's speaking to a reporter.
3. ‘If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?
-
In a tweet that was quickly deleted.
4. 'All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected.'

In his book How To Get Rich.

'[Arianna Huffington] is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man—he made a good decision.'

-
During an interview on the The View.
9. 'It must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees'
