- Trump stopped at the Palmetto State Armory in South Carolina
- ‘I’m going to buy one. I want to buy one,’ Trump said after examining the weapon
- The ‘Trump 45’ has his photo on the gun’s grip
Donald Trump considered buying a glock with his face on the grip during a visit to South Carolina on Monday, stopping at the Palmetto State Armory with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to examine the weapons available for purchase.
The former president also posed with a special ‘Trump edition’ gun that features the Trump’s photo on the handle and the words ‘Trump 45’ on the chamber.
‘I’m going to buy one. I want to buy one,’ Trump said after examining the weapon. ‘Isn’t glock a great gun?’
One of the salespeople told the former president that Trump glock was a top seller.
‘They sell well,’ Trump asked. When he heard ‘yes,’ he replied: ‘They like me.’
The exchange was posted on social media by Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, who wrote Trump purchased the gun. Cheung later clarified the former president did not actually make the purchase and he deleted the video he posted on X, the platform formally known as Twitter.
