2. I can see it now....

In Walmart's next 10-Q.....sales and earnings significantly impacted during the quarter by trumpnut crazies reducing customer flow. Management assumes this trend will continue into future periods until Congress does something about the nut-n-chief.

5. And now he doesn't have 2A rights

Upon conviction for what he did, it's a lifetime ban on gun ownership.
