Now that it is clear that Donald Trump is the 45th US President, we are suddenly getting inquiries about an image that has been making the rounds on the internet for years and that we have already reported on!
Donald Trump talks a lot, but is what people like to attribute to him actually true? It is this image:
As verbatim:
If I were to run, I'd run as a Republican. They're the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they'd still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.
“If I run, it will be as a Republican. They are the stupidest group of voters in the country. They believe everything on Fox News. I could lie and they would still believe it. I bet my results would be incredible.” Donald Trump is said to have said this in a 1998 interview with People Magazine.
And? Did he? Did he? Did he?
Donald Trump says a lot when the day is long, sometimes more than is acceptable in the morning on an empty stomach, without anesthesia, but, although it may even sound like him, he didn't say that, neither in 1998 nor in any other year .
In 2015, both “ snopes.com ” and “ factcheck.org ” researched it and even People Magazine itself looked through its archives, but all that came out was that the magazine didn’t even conduct an interview with Trump in 1998.
“Factcheck.org” then contacted the sender and he commented on this
“This shows once again that not everything on Facebook is the truth set in stone and that you should always check your sources.”
A statement that we can only completely agree with, even though it is on the Internet, but not everything that is there is wrong, you just have to check your sources.
Trump doesn't do that and therefore often backtracks, as for example with his tweet about the statistic that most white people in the USA are killed by perpetrators of color, but the statistic is a fake.
Trump then said it wasn't his tweet, he just retweeted it and that the graphic came from a credible source, so did he have to check every statistic? – Well, dear Donald, what is it called? “Don’t trust any statistics that you haven’t falsified yourself.”
