A viral photo of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is making its way across social media, quoting the real estate mogul as saying that if he runs for president one day, he’ll run as a Republican presidential candidate because Republican voters “are dumb.” Yet, the meme has been proven false.

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.

It’s silly to argue the fact. I believe it will do some damage, you don’t.

My point was that it will do him no good for having said it and it served no purpose to have done so.

Anyway, when you finish getting hoarse screaming “Heil Trump” and hopefully return to reality.....

If you keep calling Trump supporters Nazis someone will pull you plug.

“What Jindal said was undeniable and frankly inescapable.”

He didnt say anything, except whine.

If he had made the moves Trump did a few months ago, he would be where Trump is. Sorry if he was slow on the uptick.

To the contrary....who’s being talked about and who’s not? Trump is on all the news shows, in all media outlets, just look at this forum as an example, Bush looks defensive and weak and it brings to light again the immigration issue that W (a Bush - name association) was weak on and arguably contributed to the potential for these attacks, if not 9/11 itself, and still to this day continues to be a serious issue. In the words of Trump, “Still Winning!” Any other candidate being talked about? Oh, yes....Ted Cruz who won another straw poll or some meeting with a few hundred people.

that's why he is constantly telling us how big and how rich and how great he is, and how insignificant everyone else is

"Tell us precisely where he said this and then we can have s conversation"

this is the internet....I dont keep links to everything Ive ever read...I dont have the time nor the patience...

Or the facts, apparently.

On Free Republic, if someone makes a claim, or quotes (and backs) someone who does, it is incumbant upon that someone to back that claim.

I’d actually be more happy with a Cruz win, but it’s gonna be DT.

As long as the majority of us are CONVINCED ......that Thumpers gonna take the game..then Thumper does indeed stand a pretty darned good chance of doing just that.

Id prefer to remain an adversary.. in hopes of electing a Serious Mature Adult candidate who will ALLOW ... what is STILL the Great Nations On EARTH to remain so!!

I didn’t say I cared about what Trump said. I said you accused him of saying he’s better than others and you would need to prove that

He doesn’t do that.

Yep

You know, Donald Trump is not a narcissist.

He has a view of himself that is honest. He has had tremendous success. That’s all

And narcissists are people who blame others for their failures. Sometimes they have success. But not all successful people are narcissists.

Trump knows about his success He owns it. That’s just logic.

We Americans are hard wired to enjoy success. It’ll drive some people crazy to watch Trump win and to watch people enjoy having a s
Sinner in the White House

Oh well.
