Trump is once again trending on Twitter for a comment he made in Florida regarding shoppers needing an ID to buy groceries.
Donald Trump is once again trending on Twitter after telling a crowd in Florida that buying groceries requires an identification card. And, as usual, Twitter never fails to jump on anything the president says and turn it into a flood of hilarious memes.
President Trump made the comment while pushing for voter ID laws at a rally in Tampa to support Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) in the state’s gubernatorial race. The president began talking about voter fraud, and claimed Democrats were attempting to give undocumented immigrants the right to vote.
“Which is why the time has come for voter ID, like everything else,” Trump told the crowd. “You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card. You need ID.”

To clarify, American citizens do not need a picture ID to buy basic groceries, cleaning products, or most toiletries. There are some federal and state regulations that prohibit the sale of alcohol or certain over-the-counter medications without identification, but that does not extend to grocery shopping.
