US President Donald Trump has been ridiculed for claiming people need ID to buy groceries.
The 72-year-old was mocked for being “out of touch” when it comes to everyday tasks, after speaking at a rally in Tampa, Florida , on Tuesday night.
Mr Trump was putting forward the idea of having an ID to vote when he made the claim.
He said: “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.”
He added: “Only American citizens should vote in American elections. The time has come for voter ID like everything else.”
Many on social media were quick to point out that the only time you would be required to show ID would be when you were buying alcohol or tobacco.
Zeke Miller wrote: “Trump says you need an ID to buy groceries... Honest question: What's the last time he's bought groceries?”
While Dustin Kent said: “Has Donald Trump ever been inside of a grocery store? I think there's a decent chance he hasn't.”
Journalist Jim Acosta tweeted: “Trump out of touch here…you don’t need an ID to buy groceries.”
The CNN reporter was however interrupted during his broadcast, where crowds shouted “liar”, “tell the truth” and “CNN sucks”.
Mr Trump’s call for national voter IDs came as he criticised the Democrats for their stance on illegal immigration.
