Business mogul turned reality TV star turned aspiring politician Donald Trump launched his 2016 presidential campaign in the ostentatious Trump Towers on Tuesday. Known for his outspoken conservative policies, Trump arrived in the marble atrium of his New York skyscraper via escalator after a brief introduction from his daughter Ivanka.

As she aptly put it, "My father is the opposite of politically correct."

Surrounded by a few dozen supporters, Trump delivered an hour declaration of why he is the right man for the job -- and it didn't take long until things got weird.

The speech jumped from Trump's disdain for Obamacare (and pretty much everything else about the current U.S. president) to a denunciation of his Republican rivals to a rant about China's economy. All the while, Trump's family stood on the sidelines.
