We found no evidence that Trump said Republicans are "the dumbest group of voters."
...
In 1998, People covered Trump mostly for his relationships with his first and second wives, Ivana Trump and Marla Maples. While there is evidence Trump was interested in politics during the late '90s, nothing we found proved he ever said anything about "dumb Republicans" to any reputable publication.
