Known for his absurd and often factually incorrect statements, the front-runner for becoming the Republicanq presidential candidate Donald Trump has now misquoted Mahatma Gandhi in one of his Instagram posts. The post by the leader carried a quote which read "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win", and attributed it to Mahatma Gandhi, except there is no evidence that the non-violence proponent ever said that.

Always a good sign when the Republican front runner @realDonaldTrump retweets Mussolini (@ilduce2016 ). #SempreAvantiAmerica!"

Although Trump is the front runner for becoming the republican presidential candidate, it is hard to tell if him comparing himself to Gandhi is more absurd or the quote he wrongly attributed to the leader.
