Rumors that the President-elect believes the world is flat originated from a hoax and satire web site.
rigin:In December 2016, rumors flew about Donald Trump's personal beliefs and connections as he continued to announce picks for his incoming administration. One such rumor was a meme with a quote that purported to be from the President-elect, painting him as a flat-earther:
An image from 'Flat Earth'. Image shows Donald Trump with a quote about owning and flying a jet plane.

Trump never said this. The phrase originated with a hoax news article that was published on 31 September 2016, and came from a web site that was mocked up to look like a legitimate news page:
