Donald Trump said this morning on Fox and Friends that he believes President Obama’s emotional address on gun control was “sincere” but that he’s pursuing the wrong strategy by “taking chunks” out of the Second Amendment.
“I actually think he was sincere. I’ll probably go down about five points in the polls by saying that, but I think he was sincere. But I think it’s a thing that he feels. I think he’s incorrect about it. He’s taking chunks and chunks out of the Second Amendment,” said Trump, arguing that there is a bigger problem with mentally ill people who aren’t getting the care they need.
But he said Hillary Clinton is actually worse than Obama when it comes to guns, claiming she “wants to take everyone’s gun away.”
Trump said if there were law-abiding citizens with firearms present during the Paris or San Bernardino terror attacks, lives could have been saved.
“People need protection, we need protection ... They want to take that safety net away and you can’t do it. We cannot tamper with the Second Amendment,” he said.
Trump explained to Sean Hannity last night that if he’s elected, he will repeal Obama’s executive actions on gun control.
He added that if Obama is dead set on changing gun laws, he must do it through Congress and not by executive action.
“What’s happening is the government is being run much differently than our founders had in mind,” Trump said. “This is the Second Amendment. This is a very important thing to people ... It’s unbelievable what’s happening.”
Don't worry by the time this thread is over a few will spin Trump's comments to tell us that he really called Obama a gun grabbing communist who should be impeached by Congress.
But they're tears of unmitigated greed.....he plans to raise millions w/ each tear he manages to squeeze out.
Americans must demand to see fund solicitation letters coming out of Obama's tax-exempt presidential foundations and his Chicago library fund.
Are any of his WH comments used to forward his policy being regurgitated in fund solicitation latters?
Americans demand to know if US govt policy is being wrongly used....in an effort to raise tax-free money for the obamas.
==================================================
The post-presidency Obamas have BIG plans.....get-rich-quick schemes ala the Clintons. Gonna cash in bigtime---through two Obama foundations (two that we know of).
Obama figures he needs two foundations to handle all the post-presidency tax-free money about to roll in.....six-figure honoraria, multi-million dollar donations, lucrative consultancies, and, untold riches from insider Mideast business deals.
=====================================================
FOUNDATION ONE---OBAMA'S SISTER IS A BOARD MEMBER
OF OBAMA's PLANNED BILLION DOLLAR CHICAGO LIBRARY FOUNDATION
Maya Soetoro-Ng is President Obamaâs sister and a specialist for the Matsunaga Institute for Peace. She is the co-founder of Our Public School, a non-profit that connects schools to their communities, and the co-creator of a peace education program implemented in schools and communities around Hawaii.
==================================================
FOUNDATION TWO---OBAMA's KENYAN HALF-BROTHER HEADS
THE MUSLIM FOUNDATION--named for their Muslim father. Obama Foundation Two was fast-tracked for tax-exemption by Lois Lerner.
Kenya-resident, Malik Obama in Muslim dress, holds up

======================================================
US TAXPAYERS PAY NOW---Obama collects later.
Obama's federal outlays (that we know of).:
<><> $150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal,
<><> $2 billion funding to Malik's organization---the Muslim Brotherhood,
<><> $50 million to Malik/Barack's tax-exempt foundation in the form of a grant to Kenya.
<><> While the Muslim Brotherhood was in charge in Egypt, Obama (and Hillary) showered them w/ praise.....and billions of US dollars in aid, arms, tanks and planes.
<><> Obama gave $90 million US tax dollars to wealthy oil-rich Muslim African Muslim countries.
<><> the billions missing from the Obamacare scam.
<><> Michele talked about teaching girls, then Obama sent her off to oil-rich Muslim Quatar w/ $73 million US tax dollars to teach girls.
If Trump follows up with “The President is a nice guy, but he’s just in over his head, and he’s a good Christian, and a good family man, and you don’t need to be afraid to have him in the White House...”

Then he will sound just like the GOP soundfiles.
Obama believes there are two groups - those who object to people being murdered - and those who think murder is fine.
He's a fool.
No one thinks it's OK to murder people - what we have is two groups who see the solution in different ways. Our side sees 'more guns - less crime' and the stats back us up.
Their side judges things based on how it makes them 'feel'. These meaningless new laws that damage the second amendment make Obama 'feel' deeply... and they'll have NO EFFECT whatsoever on the problem.
Solution? Vote for Trump, Cruz or Carson... and pray we can elect enough conservatives to turn this insanity around.
“...If the tears were real ...”
They weren’t. It’s theatrics. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
F*** him.
In my opinion, sooner or later Trump would be wise to say, “Stop asking me to comment and speculate on the motives behind everything the President says and does. I’m not his psychiatrist, and whether he’s brilliant or foolish, insane or sane, sincere or devious, doesn’t really matter. What matters is, what he is doing will not render the results this country needs because either he doesn’t understand cause and effect, or he does, and the effects he’s after are detrimental to the US. It’s one or the other, but which doesn’t matter. He needs to go.”
“”Sort of like âwell bless his heart, he means wellâ and that is not a flattering statement.”
Exactly!
>>This comment is not gonna be well received here on FR.<<
Don’t bet on it. Just wait for his “interpreters” to tell us what they really heard him say.
“I think he [Obama] probably means well.”
That’s Donalds true liberal side showing. He’s a con-artist.
Agreed! We all know it is BS, and I mean Trump, too. But he needs to treat this one the way he did.
The more intelligent among us will realize that this is a case of Trump not taking the bait. Also establishes Trump as being "fair" so that more valid criticism will carry more weight.
Taqiyya tears.
But Obama is NOT sincere. He knows damn well his proposals will do NOTHING to protect children. He is a tyrant, his aim is the goal of tyrants going back to the dawn of man.
Again, it is not helpful to our cause to give this man credit for sincerity when it is obvious he is not.
>>Things like this lead me to believe Trump is a closet liberal and can not be trusted.<<
There’s nothing “closet” about it. He’s been out for decades but his supporters can’t be bothered with his history.
>>...the Donald is either naive or just pandering.<<
Or maybe both?
“They werenât. Itâs theatrics. He knows exactly what heâs doing.”
Reminds me of 2 other times, when the guy with the “bent penis”
1) cried at a funeral after being caught laughing by the press.
2) Carried a 20 pound Bible for the media to see.
(Fox claims Obama had onion on his index finger)
$150 billion to Muslim Iran in the nuclear deal,...Quit using that fabrication. The money is what has been frozen by sanctions. It is their money. You make all patriots sound like like idiots.
That little scene was so obviously rehearsed. I say give the loser an Oscar. If he thought that was sincere, he’s a bad judge of character. And I’m a huge Trump supporter. But he shouldn’t be saying anything nice about the enemy within.
