Tampa, August 2 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump has lashed out at immigrants and called for strict voter ID laws during a rally in Tampa, Florida. He told supporters: “We believe that only American citizens should vote in American elections, which is why the time has come for voter ID, like everything else. Voter ID. You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card. You need ID. You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID, and you need your picture.”
Observers quickly pointed out that it is not true that one needs a picture ID to buy groceries in the United States.
Trump supporters also berated members of the media during the Tampa rally, including chanting ”CNN sucks.” Following the event, President Trump retweeted his son Eric’s tweet of a video showing Trump supporters chanting ”CNN sucks” during the rally.
