  • On Oct. 22, 2019, a link to an op-ed entitled Trump's Obama envy is getting even worse was shared to a number of anti-Trump Facebook groups, such as Anti Donald Trump, original DONALD TRUMP CLOWN UNIVERSITY, and DEFEAT TRUMP 2020!, along with an alleged excerpt from the article in which the president claimed that former President Barack Obama had written the emoluments clause of the U.S.Constitution: The text of this Facebook post does not relay a genuine quote from Trump. Trump did not claim that Obama wrote the emoluments clause of the Constitution during an appearance on Fox News, nor does this quote appear in the linked op-ed story published in The Washington Post. Trump appeared on Fox News on Oct. 21, 2019, for an interview with Sean Hannity. While Trump mentioned Obama a number of times during that interview, he didn't accuse his predecessor of writing the Constitution, which was written more than 200 years ago. Some readers may have been taken in by the fake quote because it was published a day after Trump described the emoluments clause as phony. Vox reported: While Trump may have called the emoluments clause phony, he did not claim Obama wrote it. We therefore rate this claim False. (en)
