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.What lies have the left told about your little convention?

Donald Trump Said Republicans are the Dumbest Group of Voters-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor:
Back in 1998, Donald Trump said he would run for president as a Republican because they’re the dumbest group of voters in the country and would “eat up” his lies.
The Truth:
Donald Trump never said that Republicans are the dumbest group of voters in the country.
The rumor surfaced on social media sites as the Donald’s bid for the Republican nomination gained momentum. A meme quoted Donald Trump telling People magazine in 1998 that:
“If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.”
–People magazine, 1998
There were scattered reports in People magazine in the late 90s about the Donald possibly running for president, but Trump didn’t call Republicans the “dumbest group of voters in the country” in any of them.
