Trump 'misquotes' Mahatma Gandhi

March 01, 2016 01:02

Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump today posted a quote on Instagram attributing it to Mahatma Gandhi, but the American media said there is no evidence that the Indian leader had ever used these words.

"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win Mahatma Gandhi," Trump wrote on social networking site Instagram as part of his effort to rally supporters.

The Instagram post included a picture of hordes of supporters rallying at a Trump campaign stop in Alabama.

Soon, the anti-Trump lobby was up in flames on the social media.

The Hill, a top US political website, said, "There's no record that Gandhi ever used the phrase, which has been widely attributed to him."
