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."

      He’s been indicted on felony charges, felons can’t own guns.

        He’s not a felon (yet). Does that law apply to indictments?

        Edit: No, it doesn’t:

    DOJ are you listening? These are the same charges Hunter is being indicted for

      No, it isn’t. Hunter is being charged with lying about drug use on a gun form. This would be Trump buying a gun with active indictments against him.

    I can’t wait til he snorts a ton of coke he’s next debate so any one that’s ever done the drug can pretend he was totally sober, again.

      Woah woah - as someone who has never done cocaine, is that why he was so nuts (even for him) in the first presidential debate? I’ve been wondering how anyone could have witnessed that and still voted for him, but it never clicked for me that he might be on something.

        “ I’ve been wondering how anyone could have witnessed that and still voted for him, but it never clicked for me that he might be on something.”

        That’s cause you’re a SINNER, not a GOOD CHRISTIAN!

      Plot twist: he runs out/spills his supply, they run to the nearest corner and it’s fent laced.

        Spends the rest of the debate walking from his podium to the corner. You know just in case he sees any coke in the corner.
