Trump quotes Shakespeare at rally (but gets it wrong) and says he has bigger crowds than Churchill
The former president was quick to compare crowd sizes – something he has been mercilessly ridiculed for fixating on over the course of his presidential campaign
"Trying to use what he thought are the iconic Bard’s words to make his point, he asked the crowd, “Did you ever hear Shakespeare?”"
“He was ‘hail and hearty and well met,’ but he wasn’t a smart person.”
A bit weird attacking someone who died a "biggly time ago".
"The correct phrase, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, is “hail-fellow-well-met,” and does not appear in a Shakespeare text."
So he got the quote wrong. Then it turns out it's not Shakespeare anyway.
And he did all of this to say that Shakespeare isn't smart. As if the dude getting all this wrong is.
