Bette Midler is incorrect. The quote attributed to Donald Trump is fake. A search of People Magazine's archive by fact-checkers reveals no evidence of Trump ever having said it. The debunked meme has been circulating online no earlier than 2015. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/republicans-dumbest-group-of-voters/ https://web.archive.org/web/20221128163604/https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-trump-republicans-meme-idUSKBN2342S5 https://apnews.com/article/archive-fact-checking-5466940186 https://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/10/politics/trump-quote-facebook-trnd/index.html https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2018/dec/18/blog-posting/no-donald-trump-did-not-call-republican-voters-dum/ https://www.news.com.au/technology/online/social/donald-trumps-1998-quote-about-the-republican-party-from-people-magazine-is-a-fake/news-story/66c3b73872bd6704d0df69f5aa2af80f https://www.thejournal.ie/donald-trump-republican-5108212-May2020/ https://newschecker.in/fact-check/1998-people-magazine-quote-attributed-to-donald-trump-is-false

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1683555777783685120
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
