Donald Trump talked about voter fraud in an interview today with the conservative site The Daily Caller and made the following comments about voter ID.
“The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes,” Trump complained. “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on.”
“If you buy a box of cereal — you have a voter ID,” Trump continued. “They try to shame everybody by calling them racist, or calling them something, anything they can think of, when you say you want voter ID. But voter ID is a very important thing.”
Yes, our “president,” he with the biggest brain, thinks you need photo ID to buy cereal at your local grocery store.
Believe it or not, Trump has falsely claimed before that you need photo ID to buy groceries, and he received a lot of mockery today for the comment about cereal:
I really wanna know when Trump last went to a store and bought a box of cereal. I'm guessing it was during the Ford administration. https://t.co/60DyoTkerF [1]

Impossible to deny now that Trump is a cereal offender

Trump: Voting should be as hard as buying a box of cereal
The rest of us: Uh, yes. Let’s do that.

In Trump's world you need to an I.D. to buy cereal, but don't need to release your taxes to run for president.

George Bush was once excoriated for not knowing the price of milk.
Today, Trump proved he literally has no idea how to buy cereal.

When was the last time Donald Trump bought a box of cereal – or anything else – at a supermarket? Has he ever bought ANYTHING in a supermarket, in his entire life?
