The cyber is huge: Which of these Donald Trump quotes about tech are fake?

Take our cyber quiz, on the cyber, which is huge.

By Amelia Tait

Remember the first time you ever showed your dad how to send an email attachment? He was all like, “So I click here?” and you were all like “Yes, you should click there” but somehow it lasted five hours and by the end of it you’d agreed not to bother coming home next Christmas?

This scene is playing out in the White House as we speak, as President Trump’s advisers attempt to bring the 45th leader of the free world up to speed with the confusing and huge (so very huge) worlds of computers, cybersecurity, net neutrality, and mobile phones.

With that wonderful thought in mind, we thought we’d challenge you. Can you tell Trump’s real tech quotes from bizarre, absolutely outrageous, unbelievable things that we just made up?
