An alleged 1998 quote attributed to Donald Trump is fake. A search of People Magazine's archive by multiple 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://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-trump-republicans-meme-idUSKBN2342S5 https://apnews.com/article/archive-fact-checking-5466940186 https://checkyourfact.com/2019/04/26/fact-check-trump-republicans-dumbest-group-voters/ https://www.factcheck.org/2015/11/bogus-meme-targets-trump/ 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 https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bette-midler-blasted-for-tweeting-fake-trump-quote-bashing-republicans-and-fox-news

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/1349518791059927044
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.
