I have to agree with Corsi - there's no need for this sort of misquoting. Trump's words are surprising enough on their own. Misquoting will only lead credence to the calls of fake news. Accuracy matters.
So much this.

It's so sad how badly the role of accuracy in journalism has deteriorated in the last decade or maybe even longer.

It has always mattered and particularly now as all inaccuracies are used as ammunition one way or the other to the degree that the original point gets lost.
