CNBC reports:
Former President Donald Trump said he wanted to purchase a Glock handgun Monday at a campaign stop in South Carolina. A video posted on social media by Trump’s spokesman, Steven Cheung, shows Trump being shown the firearm and commenting, “I want to buy one.”
The post on X, formerly Twitter, said that Trump purchased the semi-automatic pistol. But his campaign later told NBC News that Trump did not actually end up completing the purchase. Cheung did not immediately respond to CNBC’s questions about his post.
Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, this year has been indicted in four separate criminal cases. Federal law bars people under indictment from buying a gun.
Read the full article. Told you.
Most of the cult, of course, will never hear about this denial and even if they did, they’d continue to spread the lie. “Glock” is currently trending on Twitter.

You have to admit that it’s pretty funny that Donald Trump’s explanation for why he didn’t break the law by buying a Glock while under indictment – is that as usual he defaulted on a highly publicized promise to buy something from/for a supporter. https://t.co/Bc25KZQFdG
