Ivanka Trump Mocked on Twitter for Quoting the Wrong Socrates

[JI7]

such a total phony just like her cheap knockoff fashion crap . this is what happens when politics has become too much about one liners, memes and other shit rather than thoughtful discussions of issues.


<On Tuesday, Ivanka Trump found herself the subject of ridicule on Twitter after she appeared to attribute an inspirational quote to the famed philosopher Socrates — even though the words were actually uttered by a book character named Socrates.

President Donald Trump‘s daughter initially wrote, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. —Socrates,” according to The Huffington Post. But the quote reportedly comes from the book Way Of The Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives by Dan Millman, which features a character nicknamed Socrates.

Trump deleted the tweet and posted the quote again with a clarification. In a new post, she added, “note: a fictional character not the philosopher.”>
