32. The "ID to buy cereal" has to do with writing checks

It shows that Trump is out of touch with retail consumers.

I'm one of the dinosaurs who still buys everything via check. Many retailers don't ask for ID anymore due to electronic fund transfer.

Of course people can buy cereal with cash, debit or credit cards. (I won't go there with EBT)

My grandmother never had a driver's license and she had to pay cash for everything.

She had her weekly trip to the bank to get cash.
