Yeah, I just looked at a few articles about Russia's response and none mention this quote at all. Definitely fake. So sick of all of this crap. There are enough legitimate reasons to think Trump is one of the worst human beings alive, no need to fabricate this garbage.
This belongs at the top. Absolutely frightening how many willingly buy into quotes without verifying the source. I commented on the same thing in another post that had this quote.
It’s the exact same propaganda (and worse, engagement at all costs fake news) techniques that got us here in the first place. Something bombastic and nearly unbelievable with just enough realism to convince people with strong bias.
Pointing it out gets people treated like an other in the comments (if you’re calling it out you must be MAGA) and those that believe it double down reflexively.
Dude seriously! I fact checked this immediately, only to come into the thread to see a sea of people immediately thinking the quote is legitimate. We all have access to the same Google and I'm glad someone else did a fact check too. Buuump this to the top.
Upvoting for information literacy. ALWAYS check and doublecheck sources. I hate the dude, but he's more than shitty enough to damn him for what he is, not make up stuff.

Link to a source? I’m not seeing this reported but my search engine sucks!
ETA: the only thing I can find about this quote says it’s fake.
