Time Writer Dupes Journalists, Democrats with Outrageous Fake Trump ‘Quote’
By Kristine Marsh | May 27, 2019 8:34 AM EDT

On Sunday, foreign affairs columnist and editor for Time magazine Ian Bremmer, thought it would be clever to tweet an outrageous, and completely fake, “quote” from President Trump praising North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, to see what happened. The quote spread like wildfire on Twitter and Bremmer achieved his goal of duping a lot of people on both sides of the aisle, before he was called out and deleted the tweets.

The fake quote was inspired by a real tweet yesterday from President Trump praising Kim Jong Un as reliable and touting him calling former Vice President Joe Biden, “low IQ.”

Sunday morning, Bremmer tried to one up Trump, sending out a tweet that read, “President Trump in Tokyo: ‘Kim Jong Un is smarter and would make a better President than Sleepy Joe Biden.'”
