The end of the road could be near for the USA's most controversial presidential hopeful, Donald Trump.

With the majority of the results in from the Iowa caucus – the electoral polls which are always taken as a strong predictor of which Republican and Democratic candidates will go forward in the bid to become the next US President – Trump has lost out to his main rival, Ted Cruz.

"In the end, Mr. Trump came closer to taking third than to winning," the New York Times notes, with Cruz taking 27.7% of votes, Trump taking 24.3% and Florida senator Marco Rubio at 23.1%.

As for the Democratic candidates, despite a celebrity-heavy campaign so far, Hillary Clinton was tied neck-and-neck with her fellow hopeful Bernie Sanders, with Hillary's eventual win decided by a coin toss.

Even with a second place victory, Trump still seems hopeful for a win, telling spectators, "[W]e finished second, and let me tell you something, I’m honoured, I’m just honoured … We’re just so happy with the way everything’s worked out."

Although the Iowa caucus is not always a watertight predictor of which candidates will go forward for presidency, it generally is a strong indicator of which ones will drop out due to lack of support.

For the moment, we're kinda hoping Trump stays in, just so we can giggle at his ridiculous campaign theme tune some more…

Donald Trump's campaign spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, posted a tweet back in 2012, and in the past few days it has been doing the rounds on social media.

The tweet was brought to JK Rowling's attention yesterday, and she had the most brilliant response.

Katrina's tweet was posted during a CNN debate between Obama and Mitt Romney in 2012, and in it she complains about there not being any "purebred" candidates up for presidency.

"Perfect Obama's dad born in Africa, Mitt Romney's dad born in Mexico. Any pure breeds left?" she posted. 

As we can all clearly see, her tweet was extremely offensive, but when JK saw it, she fired back a flawless Harry Potter reference.

JK shared on Twitter, "Death Eaters walk among us."

What Ms Rowling is referring to is Voldemort's followers who radically believed in the supremacy of pureblood witches and wizards.

Oh, we just love her so much.

While the thought of Donald Trump as the next leader of the free world is terrifying enough, this clip from his rally is actually the stuff of nightmares. 

The so-called Freedom Girls took to the stage at a Trump support rally in Florida on Wednesday to perform a propagranda song to a whopping 10,000 people that were in attendance. 

Yep, if you never thought the day would come when you would see three little girls in cheerleading costumes lip-sync along to a dreadful song about how wonderful a President Donald Trump would make, well we hate to break it to you but the day has well and truly arrived. 

Sample lyrics include: "Enemies of freedom, face the music! Come on boys! Take 'em down!" and "President Donald Trump knows how to make America great! Deal from strength or get crushed every time."

Even delivered in the monotonous voice of eleven-year-olds, we are suitably creeped out. 

But the crowd totally loved it, of course. 

Watch the mesmerising video below:

It seems like Donald Trump might NOT be allowed to enter our fair green isle.

TDs and senators have to discuss the outcome of two petitions calling for Donald Trump to be banned from coming to Ireland.

The Joint Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions have to address both petitions after Irish citizens were appalled by Donald's comments on banning Muslims from America.

Yet, it might not be so easy as the panel have to examine if the petitions comply with standing orders. 

Last month, Enda Kenny said that Mr Trumps comments were "not acceptable."

However, Donald does own his very own hotel in Doonbeg, Co. Clare called Trump International Golf Links and Hotel, where he was warmly greeted in 2014, so for now, the outcome of these petitions is high up in the air.

After seven seasons at the helm of Celebrity Apprentice, Donald Trump has surrendered his title. And NBC have found someone we reckon is a pretty perfect replacement – movie legend Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Arnie will take over from Donald when Celebrity Apprentice returns next year, and though the network have cited his political background as the main reason he was chosen, we all know it's really because he'll be comedy gold on camera.

Yes, the Terminator lead is a former Governor of California, with a lot of business prowess, but it's his superstar status that will have viewers tuning in.

Donald was unceremoniously axed from his NBC contract back in June after he made some seriously questionable comments about Mexican immigrants in his presidential campaign kick-off, calling them 'criminals' and 'rapists'.

Never one to take criticism well, Donald insisted NBC were cranky for other reasons. "They didn’t want me to run [for President} because they wanted to do The Apprentice," he said.

Arnold took to Twitter today to celebrate the news, thanking fans for their good wishes. 

"Wow. I'm blown away and honored by all your tweets. I can't wait to bring my experience to the board room & raise millions for charity," he said.

Anyone else reading that in Arnie's accent in their head?

As for Donald, he seemed uncharacteristically gracious when he confirmed the news to his Twitter followers, even congratulating his "friend" Arnold:

We cannot WAIT to see Arnold firing his first candidate. There had better be a Terminator quote thrown in…

He's undeniably running a controversial campaign – and US presidential candidate Donald Trump raised eyebrows again today when it was revealed that he plans to eliminate J1 visas.

In a policy paper on immigration and published today on his official website, the billionaire Republican specified that he'd rather replace the popular programme with "a resume bank for inner city youth".

In short – he wants to help US-born young people rather than invite over Irish students.

Mr Trump is himself the son and grandson of Scottish and German immigrants and recently caused outrage when he called Mexicans "rapists" and criminals. He subsequently refused to retract his remarks.

He has extended his lead in the 2016 Republican nomination race and now boasts 24 percent support, according to official polls.

Some 8,000 Irish applications were processed this year by the US Embassy for the summer work programme.

Indeed, Ireland sends more students to the US on the J1 visa than any other country in the world.

The visa allows young people to work and live legally in the US for up for four months.

Another TV show, another scandal.

After quitting Fashion Police back in February following a misunderstanding in which she was blamed for Giuliana Rancic's racially insensitive comments about singer Zendaya, Kelly Osbourne has gone and gotten herself into another spot of trouble.

The TV personality was on The View yesterday when she made a comment about Latinos that her her co-hosts – and the audience – up in arms. Kelly was guest hosting the political chat show when she spoke out of turn while (ironically) discussing Donald Trump's negative stance on Mexican immigrants.

During a discussion about the Presidential hopeful's views, Kelly said, "In what way does he think that people are going to vote for him after he's just called them rapists and murderers? If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump?"

Ouch. Her comment did not go down well with co-anchors Rosie Perez and Raven Symone, who were quick to point out that "cleaning toilets" was not the only occupation out there for Latinos.

Taking to Facebook this evening, Kelly apologised for her comments but said she was not a racist. "In this particular case I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words but I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT. I whole-hearted f**ked up today," she wrote.

I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. In this particular case I will take…

Posted by Kelly Osbourne on Tuesday, 4 August 2015

"I don’t want to bullshit anyone with lame excuses… I should have known better as I was on The View and it was live. I’ve learned a very valuable lesson. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole."

Attemping to close things off with her signature brand of humour, Kelly added, "By the way I clean my own f**king toilets."

So could this mishap spell the end of Kelly's time on The View? Watch this space…

Ever since Donald Trump announced his bid for U.S presidency, the internet has been having an absolute field day.

One Irish model has even weighed in on his campaign.

 

A photo posted by rozannapurcell (@rozannapurcell) on

Roz Purcell, who worked for Trump’s agency in New York once upon a time has said that she is “not surprised” by his bid. She told RTE Ten:

“I don’t know whether he’s going to get it or not, but his campaign has definitely been very interesting to follow.”

In 2010, the Donald himself had picked Roz as the favourite to win the Miss Universe pageant, and he quickly signed her to his agency when she finished in seventh place.

At the time people also couldn’t help but notice her similarity to Donald’s wife Melania. Roz was quick to dismiss those notions, telling Irish Central: “No. C’mon, Melania is absolutely gorgeous. So I take it as a compliment. I think Donald Trump appreciates someone with a bit of character.”

Today the Tipperary native has much more interest in food. Her blog Natural Born Feeder has a huge following and has led her to head back to college to study nutritional therapy. She said it would be nice for her blog “to have a little bit more of a stamp of approval”.

She said that after her years modelling New York, she came to realise that “crash diets” didn’t cut it. She got sick of “trying to fit in a certain shape.”

We agree with Roz on the no crash dieting, we also agree with her about Donald’s “interesting” campaign.

Let’s have a look at some of his most interesting moments so far, shall we. 

His comment on the people of Mexico:

They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. 

His astute business observation on the state of American journalism:

When asked by ABC’s This Week  if he had any regrets:

I have said things that I could've held back. But not that often, surprisingly not that often, but certainly there have been occasions.

When he pointed to the racial tension which exists across the United States:

You look at Baltimore, you look at Cleveland. You look at all of those places, just exploding. We have an African-American president [and] we've never had it so bad.

His response to Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton’s disappointment with his immigration comments:

There's never been a Secretary of State so bad as Hillary. The world blew up around us. We lost everything, including all relationships. There wasn't one good thing that came out of that administration or her being Secretary of State.

Basically, any time he mentions Mexico he manages to stir up some controversy:

We don’t think Donald Trump is going to be too happy with this one!

Russell Simmons, the hip-hop mogul and fashion designer, has come out and said that he thinks Kim Kardashian would be more suited to the White House than presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

The 57-year-old former husband of Kimora Lee Simmons took to Twitter to admit that he believes Kim would do a better job of running the country than notorious businessman, Donald Trump.

“Kim K being better president then Trump? he tweeted. “A sweet compassionate celebrity is better than a conservative angry one. No diss on either person.”

 

Russell then went on to say in an interview with HuffPost Live that he thinks Mr Trump doesn’t have as much influence as the most famous Kardashian.

“She would probably be a better president, in my opinion.”

Since announcing his candidacy, Donald Trump has come under a lot of (hilarious) scrutiny – mostly about his hair rather than his politics.

And some of the celeb tweet’s about it are just hysterical.

 

 

Do you think Kim would make a better president than Trump? She certainly wins in the hair department anyway.

Today Donald Trump announced officially that he is running for President of the U.S as a Republican candidate. The Democratic National Committee (DNC), along with pretty much everyone on Twitter couldn’t resist pointing out the ridiculousness of the situation.

The DNC released a statement which read “Today, Donald Trump became the second major Republican candidate to announce for president in two days. He adds some much-needed seriousness that has previously been lacking from the GOP field, and we look forward [to] hearing more about his ideas for the nation.” They weren’t holding back then.

Probably best known this side of the pond at the man who coined the phrase “You’re fired,” the business tycoon has long been the host of the reality show The Apprentice. However, he has apparently been threatening to run for President since the 80’s. Shocker.

Possibly also better known for that hair piece rather than his political career, Donald’s announcement earlier today had social media going wild.

 

Twitter had just barely recovered from the Game Of Thrones season finale bloodbath when all of a sudden, Mr Trump came along to throw users completely off their game.

We rounded some of the best Twitter reactions for your entertainment. And trust us, nobody was holding back their true feelings. 

Bressie even weighed in:

Donald said he would be "the greatest jobs President that God ever created." Meanwhile….

 

 

Andy Lassner, producer for Ellen Degeneres' talk show joked that he had found a new career

Bette Midler also just couldn't help herself

Bryan Cranston also took to Twitter with his own Breaking Bad style response….

Star of The Apprentice, Donald Trump, has had something of an interesting morning after he accidentally retweeted a photo of serial killer couple, Fred and Rose West.

@feckhead (didn’t that give it away?!) tweeted the business magnate writing: “My parents who passes away always said you were a big inspiration. Can you pls RT for their memory?”

Below the tweet was a photo of the Wests, a British couple who between them murdered over 13 girls, including one of their daughters.

Being nice, Donald retweeted the photo – unaware of who they really were and the cruel prank being played on him. 

Now, he has taken to Twitter to voice his anger about the prank: “Some jerk fraudulently tweeted that his parents said I was a big inspiration to them + pls RT – out of kindness I retweeted. Maybe I’ll sue.”

“I thought I was being nice to somebody re their parents. I guess this teaches you not to be nice or trusting. Sad!”

Aww, we actually feel really sorry for Donald – his reaction is making us want to cry!

It’s never okay to body shame any woman as far as we are concerned – no matter who you are.

That is why Donald Trump has caused a stir with his recent comments regarding Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez.

Speaking on The Howard Stern Show earlier in the week, the business magnate was asked who he found more appealing, Kim or JLo, to which he answered neither.

When pressed further on whether he felt Kim’s bum was too big, he said: “Well absolutely, it’s record setting. In the old days, they’d say she had a bad body … I’d pass on both of them.”

We’re sure the ladies will be heartbroken over this missed opportunity, Donald.

Well, we think you are both perfect girls, so keep on working it!
