Trump Revives False Claim That Americans Must Show ID to Buy Groceries, Again
President Donald Trump has revived his false claim that Americans must show ID to purchase groceries, a notion he first made during his 2016 campaign and continued in his 2020 bid for re-election.
President Donald Trump has revived a false claim from his previous terms in office, stating that Americans must provide identification to purchase groceries, despite no such requirement existing under federal law. This assertion is part of Trump's 2024 campaign rhetoric and has been previously debunked by fact-checkers and government agencies. Despite the lack of evidence, Trump continues to repeat this false claim, highlighting the ongoing issue of misinformation in public discourse. The move sparks renewed calls for critical thinking and media literacy from experts and fact-checkers.
