You should head over to Fox New and read the comments. It is an article about Trump saying this and all the comments are about how it is Hillary and Obama's fault.
Sen. Chris Murphy said there is "no other issue out there...like background checks," and yet Congress can't get legislation around that passed.
Trump responded: "But you have a different president now. You went through a lot of presidents and you didn't get it done, but you have a different president."
So he neutered Obama's edict of the the SSA reporting mental health issues to the FBI for background checks and now this? He's not even consistently bad. He's faithful to no logical position or train of thought on the issue.
On bump stocks: He said Congress doesn't need to worry about prohibiting them, because he is going to "write that out ... by executive order."
This is a horrible precedent for the scope of executive orders. Both sides already support it. Fuck Rand Paul's BS, pass it.
Trump Jan. 26, 2016: “I hate what Obama does with gun legislation. He doesn't talk to anybody. He goes out and signs executive orders. In theory you're supposed to the old fashioned way, get everybody into a room and get something people agree on.”
Trump also shit all over Jeff Sessions today. REALLY hoping he ends up firing that ornery-looking bastard.
Washington - President Donald Trump's rebukes of Attorney General Jeff Sessions have included referring to him behind the scenes as "Mr. Magoo," The Washington Post reportedWednesday evening.
Trump on Wednesday lashed out again at Sessions on Twitter for his oversight of the Justice Department.
The tweet prompted a rare response from Sessions, who in a statement defended his leadership of the department and its work.
Trump has made his disagreement with Sessions known clearly in the past, pointedly referring to the attorney general as "beleaguered" last year and saying he would not have chosen Sessions to lead the Justice Department had he known the former senator would recuse himself from oversight of the Russia investigation.
Sessions has stood by his decision and continued to offer no public signal that he intends to step down in face of the criticism, despite an apparent offer to resign after Trump berated him and called him an "idiot" last year, according to The New York Times.
Two law enforcement officials told CNN that staff aides gave Sessions a bulletproof vest as a gag gift to mark the anniversary of his first year in office earlier this month.
The Post, citing people to whom Trump has spoken, said the President has complained about Sessions not defending him and not being loyal enough, comparing Sessions unfavorably with lawyers who have worked for him personally, and had called Sessions "Mr. Magoo."
"Mr. Magoo" was a 20th century cartoon about an old man who bumbles into comic situations because of his very poor eyesight.
The Post also said special counsel Robert Mueller is examining Trump's reported efforts to fire Sessions last year, following a previous report from the paper last month saying Mueller had expressed interest in the President's efforts to oust the attorney general.
CNN reported last month that Mueller's office had spoken with Sessions, and the Times reportedthat the special counsel was aware of an unsuccessful attempt by Trump last year to prevent Sessions' recusal.
Hmmm... seems like you almost WANT that to be true? I think I'm sensing a blind bias... the kind that historically hinders true understanding and American politics. Just sayin'.
But what if something actually did come to fruition? Would you relent and accept better things, or would folks just find something else to beef on him about while continuing to attack each other for not agreeing? I truly wonder.
WASHINGTON — The top lobbyist for the National Rifle Association claimed late Thursday that President Trump had retreated from his surprising support a day earlier for gun control measures after a meeting with N.R.A. officials and Vice President Mike Pence in the Oval Office.
The lobbyist, Chris Cox, posted on Twitter just after 9 p.m. that he met with Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence, saying that “we all want safe schools, mental health reform and to keep guns away from dangerous people. POTUS & VPOTUS support the Second Amendment, support strong due process and don’t want gun control. #NRA #MAGA.”
Mr. Trump tweeted about an hour later, “Good (Great) meeting in the Oval Office tonight with the NRA!”
Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, declined to provide details about the previously unannounced meeting. A spokeswoman for the N.R.A.’s lobbying arm, which Mr. Cox leads, did not respond to requests for further comment.
But the twin tweets suggest that it may have taken the gun rights group only a little over a day to persuade the president to back away from his apparent embrace of gun control during a remarkable, televised meeting on Wednesday with members of Congress...
"Take the guns first, go through due process second"
Why does the Orange Anus have such poor syntax? "Take the guns?" is that like the type of phrasing a second grader would use? I notice he does this is just about all his speech. Is it a way for him to connect with his "base" or his he just not too bright?
Carl Icahn, a billionaire financier and longtime pal of Donald Trump’s, sold more than $30 million of stock in a steel-dependent company days before new tariffs on steel imports were announced, Think Progress reports.
Icahn’s dumping of close to 1 million shares of Manitowoc Company Inc. was revealed in an SEC filing submitted on February 22, seven days before Trump said he would impose tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum. After Trump’s announcement, shares in Manitowoc dropped by 6 percent, Reuters reported in a piece that describes the company as one of the country’s “major consumers of steel.”
As Think Progress notes, Icahn had not bought or sold shares in Manitowoc between January 2015 and February 2018, making the timing of the most recent sell-off look even more suspicious than it already did.
Icahn, who lasted around 8 months as Trump’s special adviser for regulatory affairs, has previously been accused of profiting off of his relationship with the President. In November, it was reported that federal investigators are probing Icahn’s role advising Trump and regulatory changes he attempted to push through in order to benefit his energy company. >>

Vivala, Trump did the same thing with DACA. "Bring me a bi-partisan bill and I will sign it." "We need a bill of love."
Then he rejected at least two bi-partisan proposals.
