Trump campaign backtracks claim that he bought a Glock handgun in South Carolina after it became clear that would be illegal

• 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.

Former President Donald Trump on Monday wanted to purchase a Glock handgun during a campaign swing through South Carolina, with his campaign writing that the ex-president went through wth the purchase before backtracking on the claim.

A video posted on X by Trump spokesman Steven Cheung — which was later deleted — showed that the gun in question featured a print of the former president's face.
