I watched the interview. He said it way before he went into politics. It's one of the few things he's been right about.

[HavehavefaithNAmer]

I watched this interview. It was not People magazine. It was a tv interview that somehow disappeared.

[bone]

I've seen this interview with my own eyes, he said it word for word😂😂😂

[ghoindia]

You are doing a fact check now. This was a live interview and the video existed. Once he ran for he and his team made sure the video was removed.

[Kelian-wyrb]

Yes he freaking did!!! I saw it the internet scrubbed it

[JohnnyBDog]

Yep, he did. There’s a video where he says it from some years back. It’ll resurface, and should.

[Ka_Dee]

People saying it's not true because it's 'no proof' he had it wiped from the internet.
It was said. The ones that don't believe he said this, y'all who he talking about.

[nobodyknows]

Correct. It was the NY Post. He was a registered Democrat at the time.

[earthling]

Wow, here we go. Rewriting history.
I saw it and heard it.
He's also said a lot worse in other videos and audio. As he continues to do to this day.
NICE TRY THOUGH!

[joshs]

If he had said it, it would've been the only time he spoke a word of truth.

[jackwalls]

I remember seeing that on Television, he said it...

[connorhill]

I watched the interview in 2015, though I'm not sure when it was released. In 2017, people started saying "save this video, because Trump will try his best to have it removed". It is idiotic to deny that this video ever existed, and it is even more idiotic to believe there isn't a possibility of Trump ever saying this.

[PremiumTuber]

Someone has to have this video saved somewhere

[kittykate]

I personally heard him say that in his interview!!! Can’t remember the exact year but he did say that 100% when he was asked if he run for political office what party would he chose!

[roroisblessed]

he didn't just say that he also said he loves the uneducated ones

[arshygohardy]

I’ve seen the vid, he said it word for word. It’s like it wiped from the internet

[CandaceMcClutchy]

He did! I saw the interview. The one thing he's ever been correct about!

[npdgmale]

This shows absolutely no evidence of it being fake😂

[YeriNumNums]

I know we’re not all crazy.
I know what I saw. They surely couldn’t delete it from the internet. Let’s find it.

[moses]

He said it and saw it😊😅 they took the clip off you tube😅😅
