We can confirm that Albert Einstein never said this quote. Here's a worthy purchase via @PrincetonUPress: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9268.html …

1. An interesting point

First, I detest Ivanka Trump.

However, at BrainyQuotes.com, they have the exact sentence she quoted attributed to Dr. Einstein:

https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/albert_einstein.html

(It's about halfway down the page.)

I'm not defending her but it's another example of the fallibility of the internet.

3. I'd defer to the stmt from Albert Einstein's Estate over an internet website. nt

4. I agree

But if Ivanka was preparing a public statement and found that quote online, I cannot fairly blame her for the mistake.

I do love that she did it, though. It's great that Dr. Einstein's estate shot her down!

2. Oooh, smack! Call the makeup lady, honey, cus that's gonna leave a mark. nt

5. When I saw a similar post yesterday

All I could think of is the fact that I don't even know even a single Albert Einstein quote that I could misquote.

Am I not learned enough to be here?
