Trump tells senators 'You're afraid of the NRA'

"In an exchange during a meeting of a bipartisan group of senators at the White House, Trump asked Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Toomey if their background check bill they authored in the aftermath of a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 included a provision that would have raised the age at which individuals could purchase rifles from 18 to 21.
Toomey said it did not.
"You know why? Because you're afraid of the NRA," Trump said."

I'm a little surprised that he's forgetting the connections between the NRA and Russian funding, but hey, that'll wait for another day I guess......

He changes his mind constantly. Remember when he told Chuck and Nancy he would assist them with DACA? Then he spoke with Nazi S. Miller and changed his mind. He is a fucking, crazy moron!

and mainly meaning Obama. The imbecile had no idea about the power of the NRA & $ influence with congress.

He kept saying, if teachers had guns, the killers would not even think of going in there-----wrong, most of these people are committing suicide, they just want to inflect pain on others. The Parkland killer is unusual for surviving

what he's doing, or in this case what he's scared of, the NRRA. Just wait, tomorrow he'll tweet he didn't say what he said on tape at the meeting. This was done for show, to redirect attention away from his Russia and Putin issues.
