In September 2019, readers alerted us to text circulating online, attributing anti-immigrant statements to President Donald Trump without evidence. Example: The text was a near-verbatim reproduction of a previous rumor, which we rated as Misattributed in October 2001. At that time we found the remarks had their roots in two different sources: While there are examples of controversial comments that can be attributed to Donald Trump, the comments in this circulated email are not his. We rate the newer variation as Misattributed because the text is a near-exact reproduction of comments that we researched in a previous fact check. Have you seen other variations of this claim? Let us know.
