Original Note:
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.thejournal.ie/donald-trump-republican-5108212-May2020/
