WASHINGTON - No, Donald Trump did not buy a gun during his trip to South Carolina on Monday - he only said he wanted to.
Social media lit up after the Trump campaign posted a video of him
admiring a gun with a likeness of him branded onto it. A now-deleted post
said the former president "purchases" a Glock, which was dubbed "Trump
45."
"I want to buy one," Trump said at one point. "Isn't a Glock a great gun?"
Trump posed for pictures with the gun - his entourage included Rep.
Marjorie Taylor Greene - but he did not actually buy it.
That would have been illegal because Trump is under indictment in four
criminal cases.
The campaign later issued a statement: "President Trump did not purchase
or take possession of the firearm. He simply indicated that he wanted
one."
