Trump incorrectly claims you need to show ID to buy cereal in latest push for tight voter ID laws

President Donald Trump appeared to incorrectly suggest that buying cereal requires shoppers to present identification - and therefore should do so when voting.

Buying cereal does not require ID.

Trump made the comments as part of his latest vendetta against voter fraud and "illegal voting," though he provided no evidence that either occurred during the 2018 midterm elections.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday appeared to wrongly suggest that buying cereal requires shoppers to present identification cards, in his latest push for more stringent voter ID laws.

If you're going to lie at least make it believable.

I don't think I even need to show ID when filling a prescription, although it's been five years or so since I last filled a prescription so I might be remembering wrong. I definitely don't need to show ID when buying ordinary groceries.

It's obvious he has never grocery shopped himself, ever.

Apparently, nobody he knows corrected him. Or they did and he forgot.

He tried eating it once but it didn't taste good with Diet Coke poured over it.

But, starting tomorrow, I'm carrying an extra shirt and hat just in case I forgot to buy milk.
