Brinksmanship is a Trump area of specialization as is the game of box, stick, and piece of cheese.

I did like to say he was 5 steps ahead, but in reality,
he is playing 4D chess on a dozen boards and they are still playing checkers.

Did you see DiFi's glee when he said I'll look at it...

The Democrats and the media are modern-day Stalinists. They would be more than willing to suspend the Constitution and the rule of law in favor of boot-on-the-neck federal police action for every ill they deem worthy.

This moment did send a chill down my spine. I pray DJT was trolling the Dems, because it DID show their true colors and those of the media for their incessant cheerleading; but if he was even partially entertaining the idea, that would be something I would not expect and cannot condone as appropriate behavior for a sitting American president.

The left loves to talk about the relocations of millions of Japanese during WWII as being as bad as slavery, but when a sitting president talks about taking away the rights of Americans without due process, there's crickets. Truly chilling.

The never-trump brigade is trying to make mountains out of a grain of sand again.

“I watched the meeting. Trump didn’t side with dems. Fake news.”

Ummm, appeared to me he was sideling left some. Maybe Feinstein had a grip on his balls under the table or something, don’t know. But, let’s see what happens once everyone returns to their daily routine, takes a deep breath and starts getting imput from their constituents, etc.

On no. Can’t have any restrictions on the media’s sacred first amendment protection to spew propaganda at the public 24/7. The second amendment gives the Constitution it’s teeth. Without it, it’s just a paper tiger. The left believes that resistance is futile, unless you try to drain the swap, of course.

Yeh, for sure. But, I don’t see that happening. This probably be one of the rare times that the ACLU and Gun Rights crowd would be aligned.

About Japanese internment; keep in mind Rosevelt was a Democrat. And, while mass Japanese enternment was an huge overreach, there would have been merit for selective fact based arrests. Btw, which was what was done with certain Italian and German U.S. residents.

You honestly need to read his books. The man is the KING of trolling for a purpose. You see what he did with DACA don’t you? He completely stole the narrative. He knew those dumb F’s were never going to vote for/with him. How much DACA BS have you heard in the media recently? Crickets. 18 is coming up. We need 60 in the senate. What he did with DACA means some of those illegal/pro illegal votes are going our way. The man is the master of chaos. Kek! In a hurricane he knows when to jump up and catch the wind to take him where he wants to go. I am in awe of the man God sent us. It is almost like God whispers in his ear, jump now and he does. He has been anointed and blessed. JMHO.

After what Durbin did to him with shitholegate, I wouldn’t meet with Dems without the press either.

My mother is in her 80’s and voted for Trump, but not his biggest fan (yet.) She called me last night just to tell me how impressed she was with how Trump ran the meeting. “He ran it like a business meeting” were her exact words.

What I saw was Trump continuing to bring light to how petty and dysfunctional congress truly is.

I think there’s a high possibility he was trolling. From his twitter 5 minutes ago:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · 5m Many ideas, some good & some not so good, emerged from our bipartisan meeting on school safety yesterday at the White House. Background Checks a big part of conversation. Gun free zones are proven targets of killers. After many years, a Bill should emerge. Respect 2nd Amendment!

Trump is the man and they don’t know what to do. He is running rings around congress Dems and Repub.. This is really something to see and we should all sit back and enjoy this. This has never been done before and may never be done again. He will back some new gun rules but he will never turn on the NRA. God Bless TRUMP AND THE USA

The same living in Denial posters are back .
He ignoring some outrageous comments .

Trump directly attacked the NRA a few times .
Yesterday he mocked Gopers as NRA stooges. .

That was outrageous.

Trump does not need to using the Dem NRA talking points.

Trump directly pushed a under 21 age limit .

He was direct.

Lets stop the nonsense about 3—D chess .

He sounded like clueless NYC Manhattan elite .

He has no idea how many honest young hunters or he is stripping there
2nd amendment rights

Join the NRA and fight Trump .

Stop your nonsense about attacking people who saw Trump directly attack the NRA live .

Trump is hardly perfect .

He picked Sessions and Rosenstein and McMaster and the list goes on . Yesterday , Trump clueless attacks under 21 age gun owners was pathetic . Why punish honest young gun owners .

The same guy who said he’d take the heat for allowing DACA amnesty.

My guess is he’s setting the Dems up. They are incapable of compromising.

“Stop your nonsense about attacking people who saw Trump directly attack the NRA live”

LOL!!! You call telling the truth “nonsense”. I saw President Trump laying the ground work to make the RATs admit they are only interested in banning all guns just as he got them to essentially admit they never cared about the DACA people.

But your never-trump leftovers can’t seem to recognize President Trump’s brilliance even after he rubs your face in it.

No one has suggest President Trump is perfect save for those who never really supported him. Same BS flowed from you people way back in early 2016 & you had to wipe the egg off your faces repeatedly as you soon will again.

Enjoy your willful blindness while the rest of us work for the MAGA agenda.

If true, this would not be helpful for the President.

Speaking of Blind .

You ignore Trumps direct attack on the NRA yesterday .
He said it Live .
No way to spin that clueless comment .
He mocked Gopers that support the NRA .
He only added more fuel to the destroy the NRA mob .
He sided with the left wing Mob

Then Trump was pushing a gun grabbing idea of stripping
the under 21 gun rights .

Even Sen Toomey told Trump that was stupid idea that punishes the good young people . Why is Trump punishing them ?

His comments were reckless and out of control .

I am not addressing his stripping due process rights .

Dana Loesch even responded back on Trumps reckless comments .

I am sick of the spin .

You need to directly respond to Trump unreal comments rather than spinning it . You have no idea if he meant it or not . By the way
the Syrian Muslims are still pouring in thanks to Trump .

Scott Adams’ take is that him saying the line “You’re afraid of the NRA” to the Republicans in the meeting takes gun control off the table as an issue he can be attacked with in 2020.

It’s a very interesting take on things, and sounds accurate. From a guy who understands the Trump dynamic better than almost anyone, who called it for Trump very, very early.
