9 times we've debunked fake Trump quotes

One of the defining characteristics of U.S. President Donald Trump's public persona is his so-called "unfiltered" manner of speaking. Trump has made a habit of saying things that are sometimes so shocking it's hard to believe they're true. Trump brought that attitude to social media as well, where he is an accomplished user of Truth Social; so much, in fact, that we made a previous collection verifying some of Trump's more memorable authentic posts. A major side effect of Trump's propensity to say controversial things and making frequent headlines because of them is the proliferation of statements attributed to him that are completely fabricated, even when they might sound real. Snopes has fact-checked a wide range of alleged Trump quotes since he began his second term in office. We combed through our archives to compile this collection of alleged Trump quotes that we debunked as inauthentic. Sources Esposito, Joey. "24 Things Trump Actually Posted on Truth Social."
