I'm going to make an extremely not at all bold prediction here.

Tomorrow morning, probably on Twitter, the Madman is going to flat out deny saying anything yesterday that might suggest he's open to any sort of serious restrictions on guns.

To. The. Bank.

And throw in a gratuitous punch to Pelosi, Schumer and the Dems trying to pass DACA legislation.

Trump Clarifies After Wild Meeting on Gun Control: ‘Respect 2nd Amendment!’


by Aidan McLaughlin | 7:13 am, March 1st, 2018


President Donald Trump kicked off his “Executive Time” on Thursday morning with something of an attempt to clarify his wild televised meeting with a bipartisan group of lawmakers yesterday, in which he apparently endorsed a number of Democratic gun control proposals.

“Many ideas, some good & some not so good, emerged from our bipartisan meeting on school safety yesterday at the White House,” Trump tweeted. “Background Checks a big part of conversation. Gun free zones are proven targets of killers.”

He also noted his desire for legislation, while juggling the need to signal his fealty to the gun rights: “After many years, a Bill should emerge. Respect 2nd Amendment!”

Same way he killed DACA. Promise to be open to what we want, insist it be accompanied by some sort of poison pill, and watch it die from irreconcilable differences in Congress.
