Trump's mind only focuses on 'a putter, a cheeseburger and someone else's credit card'
President Donald Trump will not “lift a hand” to pass background checks, the author of the 2005 book 'TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald' explained on MSNBC on Friday.
“I don’t think he cares about it morally. I don’t think he cares about it as policy and I don’t think he cares in any way about the victims of the shootings,” he said. “He likes the fact the NRA came out for him early ... He sees it as a matter of loyalty and nothing else. He realizes the NRA has essentially become the piggy bank of the GOP, giving exclusively to Republican candidates and officeholders, he likes that about them”.
“When you ask me to explain the organization in his mind, there is no organization. Inside his mind there’s a putter, a cheeseburger, someone else’s credit card, and a porn video - and the rest of it is just an empty space where he’s figuring out how he can occupy center stage ... Donald Trump coddles the NRA. Donald Trump loves the NRA. Donald Trump has no reason to be afraid of it because he sees them as an ally. At the end of the day his policies are going to be lined up with the NRA’s.”
“There’s a possibility NRA lacks the muscles to flex that they once did. But I’m very pessimistic about the idea that Mitch McConnell is going to suddenly step back and Donald Trump will suddenly see the light and the NRA will be inconsequential,” O’Brien said.
