TAMPA, Fla. (AP) President Donald Trump on Tuesday wrongly claimed that shoppers need to show photo identification to buy groceries and accused Democrats of obstructing his agenda and his Supreme Court nominee during a raucous rally aimed at bolstering two Florida Republicans ahead of the state's primary.
Trump, addressing thousands of supporters in one of the nation's top electoral battlegrounds, was railing against the idea of noncitizens voting and advocating stricter voting laws when he claimed that IDs are required for everything else, including shopping.
"If you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID," he said at the event at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. "You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID and you need your picture."
A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to questions about when the billionaire president last bought groceries or anything else himself. Photo IDs are required for certain purchases, such as alcohol, cigarettes or cold medicine.
The comment came as Trump waded into Florida Republican politics, picking sides as he embraced U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis in a competitive primary for governor and backed the Senate campaign of his longtime ally, Gov. Rick Scott.
"We have to make sure Rick Scott wins and wins big," Trump told the crowd. "It's time to vote Bill Nelson out of office."
Trump, who is seeking Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court in the fall, also made the case that voters need to elect more Republicans, pointing to Democratic opposition to his pick.
Democrats "don't want to give Trump any victory," he said. "They will do anything they can to not help the Trump agenda."

So what? Trump was referring to everybody.
He's as clueless about grocery shopping as Poppy Bush was about scanners.

Of course, but groceries?
"If you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID," he said at the event at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.

If you buy groceries and write a check, which many do, you need a photo ID. That's how I interpreted what Trump said.
A few times I've even had to show a photo ID when I used a credit card.

Whose "boy"?
What is "racketeering"?
---------------------
Buddy our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it, Sater wrote in an e-mail. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.

"The Russian-born Sater served a year in prison for stabbing a man in the face with a margarita glass during a bar fight, pleaded guilty to racketeering as part of a mafia-driven "pump-and-dump" stock fraud and then escaped jail time by becoming a highly valued government informant.
He was also an important figure at Bayrock, a development company and key Trump real estate partner during the 2000s, notably with the Trump SoHo hotel-condominium in New York City, and has said under oath that he represented Trump in Russia and subsequently billed himself as a senior Trump advisor, with an office in Trump Tower."

BTW you do have to show id to buy some items such as beer and other items. You do have to show id if you use a credit card or checks to prove its yours. So what is the issue?
So President Trump is correct.

The issue is, there is no issue... but when the libtards have an AGENDA, and that no issue doesnt help their AGENDA, they paint YELLA issues in the name of RACISM. Since Dicktard does the very same bullshit with his anti cop AGENDA, hes no stranger to YELLA agitate propaganda.

But at least that explains why (D)onald can't articulate fundamental American ideological principles.
It's not a skill associated with racketeers - and their associates.

Oh, what did she pardon "our boy" of?
And why would any libtard pig flap their lips given that Bill and Hillary Clinton told (D)onald to "play a larger role in the Republican Party"; presumably because they knew how divisively useful his VIABILITY would be.

What is pathetic is that Felix Sater is a known long-time CIA/DIA/FBI asset. I know you would have mentioned that eventually, but let me help before you forget.
