"Prices are down under the Trump administration, and they are down substantially." ~ Trump

Meanwhile Trump "isn't happy" when he's fact checked on the cost of Walmart's Thanksgiving dinner

"The worst healthcare anywhere in the world, Obamacare." ~ Trump

Have to wonder if he even knows what Obamacare is (other than it has Obama's name attached that is) - after all, it's not "healthcare" but is instead an insurance program

"nyc clubs were my vietnam" trump

To corroborate the authenticity of #1,763 meme, I searched the following character string:

"nyc clubs were my vietnam" trump

The https://www.startpage.com/sp/search result:

Uh-oh, there are no results for this search.​

This is not a deliberate defense of President Trump's character. Instead
it's an exercise of journalistic authenticity, integrity.

Corroboration, or refutation of this unsubstantiated accusation are welcome.
Until then meme #1,763 may at best be regarded as partisan satire, a euphemism for a lie.

Also please note:
While President Trump has an established pattern of rambling before an open mic,
there's further reason for doubt that even if Trump did for example tweet words similar to this,
it may be less likely that the graphic is legitimately paired with the quoted wording.

"A link to the actual quote is here (along with a link to the full interview)" #1,765

Thanks S2.
IMDB stands for Internet Movie Data Base, and independent of journalistic integrity or lack thereof, is intrinsically theatrical. BUT !
Via that link the following:

In an unearthed interview from 1997, Donald Trump claimed he was a "brave soldier" for avoiding STDs during his single years in the late '90s.
"It's amazing, I can't even believe it. I've been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It's like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider," Trump said in the interview when Howard Stern asked how he handled making sure he wasn't contracting STDs from the women he was sleeping with.

people.com may not match The New York Times' reputation for journalistic integrity NYT had in its heyday. BUT !
It's corroboration.

Thanks S2, both for the insight in #1,763, and for the corroboration in #1,765. This pig is running out of lipstick.

#1,765 traces the quotation to an interview with "Howard Stern", probably not what the meme in #1,763 depicts.
