If this was any normal person I would just assume they meant "to buy cigarettes or alcohol".Yeah, Trump clearly doesn't care about getting his facts right before he blurts out something and he seems to have surrounded himself with people who won't try to correct him when he's wrong.
But it's Trump, it's impossible to tell whether he just worded something poorly or is genuinely that ignorant and stupid.
who the fuck buys groceries with checks these days?
If this was any normal person I would just assume they meant "to buy cigarettes or alcohol".Considering he mention needing a ID to buy groceries during his first term as well, it wasn't a mistake.

The most generous interpretation is he still thinks people use checks at stores. I believe they normally did require ID to use that. Still wildly out of touch, though, since who the fuck buys groceries with checks these days?We were smaller than say Walmart but for Credit cards and checks we required ID. Hes not excatly wrong. You also need for Alcohol and tobacco. Id throw prescriptions on that list too
I'm more inclined to believe he's a senile old moron who's a pathological liar.

No, he explicitly means groceries. This is at least the 3rd time in 7 years he's pushed this lie. Link 2 he specifies BREAD.

If this was any normal person I would just assume they meant "to buy cigarettes or alcohol".He definitely phrased it in a way that sounded like he thinks you have to show ID every time you go to the grocery store or gas station. Since his point was that people show their ID for those things all the time, yet won't support using ID for voting

I've never been ID for a loaf of bread anywhere in my life or for using a credit card. Maybe that was more common decades ago when Trump may have gone shopping once.Well my friend was close to Trumps age and long ago ran JC Pennies. Its something we did. We never ate the cost. You use a CC or Check at our place expected it to be recorded. It was my job to track it down make sure it wasnt a mistake. We had even had a grace period after contact. It then went to the police, because if they are doing it to us they are doing it too other people. I can only think of 2 where it got futher than police

Voting is important. I wouldnt want anyone voting in my place Considering how rampant Identity theft is nowdays. Lets make sure my vote is my vote. Not Scott down the street voting in my nameWe've already done that.

I agree with you it does show that he hasnt bought groceries himself in decades. It doesnt mean hes wrong though. People show IDs at grocery stores for many things.
