"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."

Well, who knows? It's the best I can do. But I'll vote because it's my right (and responsibility as a citizen - hell, I paid to be one. Might as well be one).

Hehe... Well, whether he said it or not, I wouldn't be surprised.

If he said that on Fox News in 1998, it would've been a national story by now. Your BS detector is malfunctioning.

My dad and mom served in the military, I served, and two of my three sons served. Thankfully none of us were seriously injured. Thank you for helping those that were.

Mine's a quiet type of patriotism. I've lost family and friends in war. I still salute the flag, get all chocked up on the 4th of July, and vote to try to change my country for the better.

Nate silver and 538 have been a disaster in this cycle. There has been no poll or analyst that has accurately foreseen the trump or Sanders results.

And do not discount the effect that the superdelegates had on this campaign. Yes Hillary has more votes. But the superdelegates contributed to that momentum. She is in trouble. She can't beat a Socialist in a fair fight. She will be moving both left and right after the California primary. She is in deep crap.
"Rocks don't speak for themselves" is an unfortunate phrase to use in defense of a book produced by a rock actually 'speaking' for itself... (I have a Question, 5.15.15)

It was supposed to be an excerpt from a People Magazine article, not said on Fox News.

And I don't know about you, but I don't take memes like this very seriously. My understanding is that they're supposed to be amusing. You should chill out.

Sorry. I meant People. I had "Fox News" on the brain as I was reading the quote while typing. It's obviously fake. It's not satirical or funny. It's just a fake quote. I try to avoid those.
