Donald Trump thinks he needs an identifier to buy cereals

President Donald Trump on Wednesday expressed the full extent of his knowledge of voter identification laws when he said that buying a cereal box requires a piece of identity.

While mid-term Georgian election ballots continue to be counted, as well as the recount of votes for governor and senate seats in Florida, Trump asserted without foundation that Democratic agents were trying to steal the elections. Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) himself said late last week that there was no evidence of electoral fraud.

In an interview with The Daily Caller on Wednesday, he doubled his claim by pushing for more voter identification laws.

"Republicans do not win and that's because of potentially illegal votes," said Trump, without proof. "When people who have absolutely no right to vote go online, they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on another sweater, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It's really shameful what's going on. "

He then added, "If you buy a box of cereals, you have a voter card."

There are many things to unwrap here, which The Daily Caller did in a very thorough way. Does the President say that the purchase of grain requires identification? Maybe he thinks some businesses need photo ID when paying by personal check? Or perhaps he wants to suggest that for some people, a cereal box itself could serve as an identity (we're watching you, Sam Toucan, Tony the Tiger, Cap'n Crunch and this Trix Bunny).

This is at least the second time the chair suggests that an identification is needed to buy groceries. At a rally in Florida in July, Trump is touted for his supposed knowledge of the laws on identification and grocery shopping.

"You know, if you go out and want to do the grocery shopping, you need a picture on a card. You need a piece of identity, "Trump said at the time.

The July statement even led the New York Times to wonder: has this man ever been shopping in a grocery store? The publication spoke to close friends and Trump's personal associates, who could not confirm that the president had already shopped at a grocery store.

The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.
