Original Note:
This is a fake quote from Mary Anne Trump that lacked circulation before Dec. 2019. If Mary had said this, there would have been some record or commentary in media reports at the time, or it would have been dug up before Donald Trump's 2016 presidential run. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/false-claim-donald-trumps-mother-said-he-would-be-a-disaster-in-politics-idUSKBN21Z29U/ https://www.factcheck.org/2019/12/dubious-quote-attributed-to-trumps-mother/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trumps-mom-call-him-idiot/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/dec/18/facebook-posts/no-evidence-trumps-mother-called-him-idiot-zero-co/ https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2020/04/fact-check-president-trumps-mother-did-not-call-her-son-an-idiot-who-would-be-a-disaster-as-a-politician.html https://facta.news/notizia-falsa/2020/06/15/no-la-madre-di-donald-trump-non-ha-detto-che-il-figlio-e-un-idiota/
