Donald Trump: Rumor Of Calling Republicans "Dumb" Proven False
INQUISITR ^ | 18/10/2015 | Leigh Egan

Snopes reports that the alleged quote supposedly happened during a 1998 interview between Trump and People magazine. The meme, created anonymously, quotes Trump as saying the following.

When did Fox news come into being influential? 1998 seemed kind of early for anyone to be criticizing people who watch them.

True, but Trump jumped the shark with the W comment.

It was foolish and unnecessary and could hurt him.

I’m more inclined to heed the campaign observations of someone whose poll numbers are a cut above microscopic.

footnote question

Is Thump not...”...constantly telling us how big and how rich and how great he is, and how insignificant everyone else is”?

Nah, GWB is a loser. He was a nice guy but an awful POTUS because he had to do what was expected of him by his handlers.

I sure as hell wouldn’t stick up for him mainly because he would not stick up for himself.

That tells me he knew he was wrong. Whole thing was nauseating.

They are. They nominated McCain, Romney and continue to vote for people who consistently work against them.

I’d call that stupid.

Lets face it your boy Teddy at 7% in the polls is not exactly blazing a trail to victory. No wonder you have to seek excitement on a Trump thread. :-)

Mikey, you are one of my favorite anti-Trump people because you are funny. I especially like "Thump".

But The Donald is not all about The Donald. Otherwise, he would not be selling "Make America Great Again" caps and making the phrase his campaign slogan.

In other words, he knows it's not about him.

Herr Donnie Trumpeter...

A great many “republicans” are - in a cult of personality - fanatically supporting Herr Trump....

So, it must be true that “republicans are dumb” because only the really dumb, deluded, or naïve would support this dangerous man. They get together in crowds and shout “sieg heil” and “heil Trump” like their Nazi counterparts of the 1930s.

Did you type that with your toes?

We have been faithfully supporting the GOP all these years yet the GOP has done nothing but insult us and betray us.

And then along comes Donald Trump, a big rich man with a big mouth, big plans, and a big personality, big enough to take these liars down, and quite adamant he wants to do so, not to mention stopping the invasion on our Southern border. An invasion which the all liars, right and left, tell us is an act of love and that diversity makes us stronger, not to mention sending them is just too difficult and expensive, far far more expensive then supporting these lawless parasites, endlessly multiplying like rabbits!

So if you want to call us mindless followers in a cult of personality, so be it.

Now what should we call you? A blind wishful magical thinker, who would have us all again blindly loyal to the status quo, and the ruling elites no matter how many times they betray us, by rejecting this so-called cult of personality? Should we call you one of those who believes this must the best of all possible worlds, that God is in His heaven, smiling upon corrupt Washington cartel who have been running the show, and so all is right with the world? As incapable of independent rational thought as you tell us we are?

Or should we just call you stupid?
