In a video posted by spokesman Steven Cheung, Trump pointed to the gun and said "Wow," before adding: "I've got to buy one. I want to buy one."

The Trump campaign claimed that he bought a Glock handgun from a South Carolina gun store.

In a video posted on X, a Trump spokesman wrote: “President Trump purchases a @GLOCKInc in South Carolina!”

But his campaign later backtracked and said that the former president didn’t make the purchase.

    If there was some way for both things to be a lie, Occam’s razor would demand I believe that to be the case. He has never spoken a word that didn’t add more ignorance to a room.

    We want to clarify. President Trump assuredly did not purchase a handgun in South Carolin because that would have been illegal. Instead, he ordered a staff member to make a straw purchase for him.
