Check out what The Hill reported:
A campaign spokesperson for Donald Trump on Monday clarified that the ex-president did not purchase a Glock firearm after initially tweeting that he had during a visit to a gun store in South Carolina.
Trump’s visit to the store came ahead of remarks he was set to deliver in Summerville, S.C., on Monday afternoon. Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung initially wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that the former president had purchased a Glock firearm.
Cheung also posted a video of Trump at the firearm store. In it, the former president points to a firearm and says, “I want to buy one.” Cheung’s video and a separate post by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) showed Trump posing with the gun.
Among those with Trump at the store included Greene and South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson (R), whose endorsement, along with 12 others, were touted by the Trump campaign earlier on Monday.
But CNN reporter Alayna Treene later said the news outlet had confirmed Trump hadn’t bought the firearm. Cheung’s post on X has since been deleted.
“Trump spokesman Steven Cheung clarifies to CNN that Trump did not actually purchase a gun while visiting the armory in South Carolina,” Treene wrote on X.
Trump triggers libs!!😂

Here’s what NBC News reported:
The Trump campaign walked back a claim Monday that former President Donald Trump bought a Glock handgun during a campaign stop in South Carolina.
A since-deleted video posted on social media by Trump’s spokesman, Steven Cheung, showed Trump being shown the firearm and commenting, “I want to buy one.”
The post on X, formerly Twitter, said that Trump purchased the semi-automatic pistol.
But his campaign later told NBC News that Trump did not actually end up completing the purchase.
Cheung did not respond to CNBC’s questions about his post.
Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, this year has been indicted in four separate criminal cases.
