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.

In Trump’s live broadcast meeting, he chastised Republican senators for fearing the NRA, and apparently endorsed Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein’s proposal to ban assault-style weapons, as well as Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s expanded background checks proposal.

At one point Trump even declared his desire to find a way to allow police to take the guns away from people like the Parkland, Florida school shooter without due process: “They should’ve taken them away anyway, whether they had the right or not.”

“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump added, presumably as NRA chief Wayne LaPierre furiously fired a few rounds into his television.

since yesterdays meeting.

And he was so close to maybe doing the right thing. (sarcasm)

6. Took me a while to understand this ...a reference to a movie, "Godfather" ... 1972

While this movie is considered one of the greatest ever, some in our crowd are not movie buffs and do not know the reference...that is why I explained it a little ..no offense meant....just to clarify to those who do not know the reference................"The Godfather"

7. Well, I haven't seen a lot of movies in recent years, but I'd yet to encounter those who didn't get

the reference--even if they'd never seen the Godfather (my sister, for one)....

Seems that the reference is part of modern culture...

But, thanks for clarifying, nonetheless.


Here's the scene:

12. And heres one of many, many pop culture references to that famous scene:

11. Took me a while to understand his reference to due process after the police action makes it

clear he is clueless as to what due process means.

3. Although this seems a contradiction ...

one must remember that he has always "respected" women and he's not afraid of the NRA.

Or is this more a case of all those monkeys typing away and eventually typing out the works of Shakespeare?

Which way will the wind blow tomorrow?

4. Trump

"after many years, a bill should emerge. Is he saying that it will take many years more or now it should emerge because it is time after all these years.

5. 5:38AM EASTERN TIME...today, he is up and tweeting.....k and r...

He shows right here, that he is totally nuts..

That is 4:38 Central time where I live...
...........2:38 in San Francisco .....


So,,,,,,,before most people in this country have awoke, the nut is tweeting....without thought, without anyone checking this out, ............without help..............he is basically giving a speech to the country on guns and "Gun free zones"........at 5:30am


This defines him .......HE IS TOTALLY NUTS

8. Keep pulling that football away, Lucy!

9. The shocking thing about Trump....

That no one expected from him as president is how amazingly weak he is as a leader. He basically just does what the congressional majority wants him to do. I wonder what he will be like if Democrats were to take back Congress.

[Shipwack]

10. His handlers would never, -ever- allow him to meet with Democrats.

He’s not seeing many now (case in point Bill Nelson not invited to the “bipartisan” gun law meetup).

I’m not sure whether this is a case of him being a spiteful ass, or his advisors trying to prevent another “Pelosi/Schumer” moment. Probably both.

[PatSeg]

14. If Democrats took back Congress

which I'm quite sure they will, I think it would accelerate his madness.

13. Typo: "clarifies" should be "muddifies"

Trump's speech is as clear as sewage.
