A spokesperson, like a lawyer, should do two things: 1. Know when to speak. This might seem obvious, because after all, the job literally says your role is to speak. But this is interdependent with the second skill: 2. Knowing when not to.

What usually gets people into trouble, is either disrespect for the law, or ignorance of it.

x BREAKING: Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung just DELETED his post claiming his boss purchased a Glock in South Carolina after learning that it is a federal crime. He is now doing damage control and telling networks Trump did not actually buy the firearm. https://t.co/I0LBYEFRIT pic.twitter.com/W0PwHJpJhd — MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) September 25, 2023

Now I said, “appear” in title. We still need a physical receipt. At the least, it might help to have Trump’s literal likeness etched into it. Oh lookie here, Trump’s literal likeness is etched into it.

Sans that, what else we could use is are high profile and foolish supporters more than happy to share their ignorance of Federal law.

Oh goody. I found some.

Trump campaign guy who filmed the video of Trump saying he wanted to buy the gun quickly deleted it. Thankfully, the NRA screen recorded it for us. Not to worry, because shortly thereafter Marge Greene and her boyfriend, Right Side Broadcasting's Brian Glenn, confirmed that they were present and he did purchase the gun. They were asserting this to gush over the fact that Trump was demonstrating what a strong supporter he was of gun rights.

Surely Marjorie Taylor Greene would know better than to provide video testimony that he bought the gun. Oh look, video testimony that he bought the gun.

The relevant laws are here:

(d)It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that such person, including as a juvenile— (1) indictment for, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year; is underfor, or has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year; 18 U.S.C. 922(n) It shall be unlawful for any person who is under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce any firearm or ammunition or receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

So did Trump actually buy said gun? Will he actually be indicted? Believe it or not, I am not sure they care. Shockingly, it would be his 92nd indictment. These would be life altering to most defendants, but cherry sprinkles on top of a prosecution sundae to Trump.

Steven Cheung no doubt posted that Tweet with the idea that he would be showing off Trump’s gun loving credentials to his base. He likely had no clue there exists such laws. Or maybe he didn’t care. But there are.

But there is a bright side. If Trump gets to 99, we can change the song from bottles of beer to indictments.

Take one down, pass it around, 98 sealed indictments causes his campaign to fall.
