Quite a few members of the media began retweeting, pushing and commenting on the fake quote without any verification whatsoever.
One of those was CNN’s Ana Navarro, who wrote this.
Don’t shrug your shoulders. Don’t get used to this insanity. The President of the United States praising a cruel dictator who violates human rights, threatens nuclear attacks, oppresses his people, and kills political opponents, IS NOT FREAKING NORMAL. https://t.co/RAKvajvGE8

Almost 5,000 retweets for this tweet based on a completed made up Trump quote.
If you had the time to tweet about the quote, you had the time to verify it was legit. https://t.co/GT8CHdIQVU
