Donald Trump did not say that Republicans are the "dumbest group of voters" in a 1998 'People' magazine interview.



Despite People's comprehensive online content archive, we found no interview or profile on Donald Trump in 1998 (or any other time) that quoted his saying anything that even vaguely resembled the words in this meme. Trump appeared somewhat regularly in the magazine's pages before he came to star on The Apprentice, but the bulk of the magazine's celebrity-driven coverage of him back then centered on his marriages to, and divorces from, Ivana Trump and Marla Maples.

Trump's political endeavors (or the absence of them) did rate some space on the magazine's pages, though. For example, a December 1987 profile titled "Too Darn Rich" chronicled Trump's later claims that he had been courted by both Democrats and Republicans:

"There's no such thing, unfortunately, anymore as facts."

There's no longer such thing as fact, because anything is true if enough people believe it.
