    Trump would support the holocaust if he thought it would make more people like him.

    that’s the magic of having no consistency, you can find anything and its opposite in 40+ years of uncontrolled rambling, scheming, lying and cheating.

    There was a Trump interview from the 90s where he said that if he ever ran for office he would go Republican because they were stupid, gullible and easily manipulated. Sadly I cannot find that interview anymore.

        It was with Oprah Winfrey in 1988. Try again

        Edit: it isn’t fake, but it is false

          Please explain the edit a bit

          Edit: also thank you for the info. I had only ever seen a picture with the quote and his face. So the video source is new for me and given the stated age, not faked.

            There is an actual interview that is referenced, but what is being said about the interview is false

          You are absolutely right, but this is the interview that is being referred to as far as I can discern. I think people tried to infer he was calling them stupid? Something to do with praising republican leaders and policies maybe? Definitely a stretch, and we don’t need misinformation to make this scum look bad

        It’s honestly shocking how different he is now in speeches. He still came off as a sleaze bag 30 years ago, but not someone I would assume is functionally illiterate.

          Yeah, he doesn’t. He praises republican leaders and policies, but no where does he say he’d run as a republican nor call the voters stupid. The man makes himself look bad enough, we don’t need misinformation
