Trump Mocked For Claiming You Need Voter ID to Buy Cereal: He’s a ‘Cereal Offender’
President Donald Trump talked about voter fraud in an interview today and made the following comments:
“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.”
The President made those remarks in an interview with the Daily Caller as he sounded off on the Florida recount and said Brenda Snipes needs to go.
Deleting this tweet because it did not include the obvious addition that the claim is generally false. Apologies, I simply found the phrasing humorous. pic.twitter.com/9Dx33bVl3A

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:
“When you buy a box of cereal — you have a Voter ID”
I’m howling.

It’s why I can’t buy my favorite cereal anymore. When I show the cashier my ID, she says “Trix are for kids” and kicks me out of the store. https://t.co/kXRnutuiGH

I’m just going to go ahead and guess that Trump has never bought a box of cereal then. https://t.co/lB6PuU4MTE

The only quote of interest in this interview is that Trump thinks you need voter id to buy cereal. The rest is just rambling conspiracies about voter fraud.https://t.co/msq30ASH60
