For some strange reason, Donald Trump seems to have a bizarre obsession with large household appliances. During a speech not long ago, he accused the Democrats of โtrying to take away your washers and dryersโ and now, heโs weirdly claimed to have seen someone in the middle of shoplifting a refrigerator.
The bizarre remarks came during the scandal-ridden former president and 2024 Republican frontrunnerโs big National Rifle Association of America (NRA) speech in Pennsylvania.
โThey rush into the store and they walk out with television sets andโฆ I mean, I saw one the other walking out with a refrigerator,โ Trump told the gun-toting crowd. โHeโs got this massiveโฆ I said, โHeโs a pretty strong guy, right?โ Can you believe it?โ
