Overnight, the internet ridiculed President Donald Trump for the bizarre statement that a photo I.D. is required for everything except voting, including buying groceries.

During the daily press briefing Wednesday, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the president, saying an I.D. would be used to buy beer or wine. The president, however, said that he doesn’t drink and never drinks.

“When was the last time the president went to a grocery store?” one reporter asked.

The internet got in on the game Wednesday and Thursday using the hashtag #TrumpGroceryStores. Users crafted names for the kind of grocery store the president would use with a twist of mockery.

On Monday, The Daily Beast reported that the authors of a popular book for believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory are in a bitter fight over whether or not to release an audiobook version.

QAnon: An Invitation to The Great Awakening came out last year and peaked near the top of the Amazon bestseller list in March. One of the book's co-authors, Dustin Nemos, is publicly attacking another co-author, who goes by the name of "JoeM," for his "petty and hostile and paranoid" refusal to help produce an audiobook, and notes that it is necessary because a disproportionate number of QAnon believers are elderly, have bad eyesight, and may not be able to read the book as text. JoeM, for his part, has accused Nemos of being a "grifter" who is trying to make a buck off of true believers.
