"Bette Midler is being called out for making up quotes and attributing them to President Trump. Midler was particularly criticized on Twitter after posting the fake quote alleging Donald Trump made the statement in a 1998 People magazine article. The fake quote read, “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.” “He certainly knew his crowd,” 73-year-old Midler captioned the post."
