During a recent CNBC panel discussion, Russian President and Donald Trump fantasy lover Vladimir Putin was asked whether or not he had attempted to influence the U.S presidential election, to which he responded:
"Ronald Reagan, debating about taxes and addressing the Americans, said, 'Watch my lips. No. Watch my lips. No.'"
Putin was wrong on multiple fronts. The quote to which he was referring was uttered by George H.W. Bush, not Ronald Reagan, and Bush actually said, "Read my lips, no new taxes." That isn't even mentioning the fact Bush wound up raising taxes, which made his before-mentioned claim false, so it wasn't the best example Putin could have given to signify he was telling the truth. Given this historical slip-up by the Russian president, expect Putin to utter the following misquotes in the future:
- "It's like George W. Bush once said, 'No county do for you. You do for your county.'"
- "Mister Rogers once said, 'The only thing we have to fear is neighbors.'"
- "When Richard Nixon was president, he said, 'Question to be or not question to be.'"
- "At Donald Trump's inauguration, he said, 'Seven scores four days ago.'"
- "I think I was at my most inspirational when I gave my 'No One Should Have Dreams' speech."
