Trump made a speech in front of the NRA’s annual meeting, committing to defend the constitutional right to bear arms. But he also remarked on something quite stunning. The Daily Caller reports:
President Donald Trump joked during the National Rifle Association (NRA) annual meeting on Friday that he doesn’t need a gun to stop the attempted “coup” against his presidency.
“Every day of my administration we are taking power out of Washington, D.C., and returning it to the American people — where it belongs. And you see it now better than ever with all of the resignations of bad apples,” the president said.
“They tried for a coup, didn’t work out so well,” he added, presumably referring to the investigation into alleged Russia collusion and the FBI’s attempts to spy on his campaign.
As the crowd of NRA members cheered, Trump slipped in a joke: “And I didn’t need a gun for that one, did I?”
Trump is right to point this out: in which country would an attempted coup NOT result in bloodshed? It is a testament to the American Constitution, due process, and the strength of our institutions that the American president remains in power despite the Deep State wanting him out of office.
I came from Scotland! I want to bend down and kiss the ground in the USA! Socialism is great until you run out of other people’s money!!!
God bless America, God bless Donald Trump! Look what this man has accomplished in the first 4yrs!
BY the way Trumps mother was from Scotland
My husband spent 21yrs in Submarines, 3 months in, 3months out!! Enlisted as a young boy, Navy sent him back to collage where he received a degree in Physics!
God bless America, God bless Donald Trump!!
Seriously, we are beyond posturing and rhetoric. Democrat’s inability to accept Trump’s victory has divided our country irrevocably. There will be no reconciliation, no chance of that. It is now impossible conservatives will ever accept a Democrat president after their reaction to Trump’s 2016 victory. Certainly, Dems will not accept a second Trump term. Creepy Joe Biden recently declared, “we (democrats) are fighting a battle for the very soul of the country” more than implicating Trump and conservatives as the evil force he (Democrats) want to defeat. Essentially, liberals have declared war with conservatives, hence conservatives will be forced to retaliate.
Headline said Trump’s remarks were “breath taking”. It certainly takes my breath away that this lying scumbag is president. He hasn’t told the truth since he was born. I’m amazed at the abject stupidity of ex-military people who support this draft dodger. He doesn’t know parade rest from at ease.
All the people that have left his sinking ship are ones who he has personally hired. Remember that he said during the campaign that he was going to pick the very best people for his administration. So what kind of judge of character does that make him??? F- in my book. He simply picked those who donated the most money to his campaign. Not one person he has chosen is competent to hold the job for which he has chosen them. And many of them are either in prison, going to prison, or under indictment. A pathetic showing at best.
The NRA has completely run out of money in support of The Donald. Much evidence is availbable that they’ve taken money from Russia to support The Donald. But that’s all right with Small Hands Donnie because he too sucks on Putin’s teat.
There’s a reason why republican states are called red states. It’s because Russia is running the show for the republicans.
ESAD, James!
Well James,
You sound like one of those people who doesn’t let a driver signal and move into their lane so they can make their upcoming turn. You are so angry you are going to take it out on anyone you have any semblance of control over. You should probably get some therapy and become a critical thinker who forms their opinions and life philosophies based on actual truth instead of all this vitriol you are spewing based on what you want to believe. You need to realize that you have zero credibility with anyone who is well-informed about what is going on in our country and consider a new, more productive commentary on current events.
You, (and you notice I did not call you sir, a salutation of respect) are a delusional idiot. I guess you liked it a lot more when the muslim Obama was trying his best to destroy the USA. I would be extremely privileged to pay our wy to any muslim country of your choice with the stipulation that if you try to return to the USA, I get to hunt you down and kill you like the freaking turncoat you are.
Proof is in the pudding…
America is much better off with Trump in Office!
Every bill passed by Congress and signed into law by the president reduces the freedom of someone, somewhere. I am HAPPY when Congress is not passing bills!
Regarding Trump’s supposed support for/of The Second Amendment, I find myself curious as to the following. How does his baloney, to use a somewhat polite term, over and about Bump Stocks fit in with his supposed support for Second Amendment Rights, assuming that things can be messaged to show his supposed support? By the way, I personally do not own a Bump Stock, nor would I walk around the block to have one presented to me free of all charges.
There’s more logic to banning bump stocks than banning sawed off shotguns, which WERE used as weapons of war; in the trenches of WWI, in the Pacifc during WWII and in the jungles of vietnam.
Bump stocks are nothing more than a ‘spray and pray’ device that adds nothing to the skill or accuracy of it’s user.
Alan, you are full of crap. You are obviously a Demoncrat. I’ve been fighting the gun battles for many years. Quit your damned nit picking. Long live the Second Amendment!
NavyPO2:
With such respect as might be do you, not much I think, regarding what is “obvious” to you, try polishing your crystal ball. As to “nit picking”, or what you choose to so describe, I suggest that you think again, or try thinking before taking keyboard in hand. What I assume is or was your military service to the country is noted and appreciated. That said, think before shooting off mouth.
Think the Second Amendment is worthless, look south to Venezuela. The citizens of that country gave up their guns, and now the government has all of them and the people are eating garbage and drinking sewer water with no medical care. The founding fathers of the USA knew human nature and realized that at sometime a group would try to enslave the rest of the citizens. The Second Amendment is for personal protection, and protection from a tyrannical government, which the left is trying to enact.
This a battle of political expediency. In order to save the Second Amendment, the POTUS has to give something, or risk losing everything. The Bump Stock is toy to burn off ammunition, nothing more. I don’t agree with banning Bump Stocks, or any firearm accessory; however, banning a Bump Stock, for the sake of saving the Second Amendment, is worth while. It is worthwhile in warfare. It is spry-n-pray. The same function can be had by trapping the trigger; however, don’t tell the anti-gun, anti Second Amendment crowd. Trapping the trigger also means that you don’t have to move your sight picture.
The only problem I see in the ban is it death by a thousand cuts. Give an inch and the spoiled child takes a mile.
that’s what land mines and booby traps are for.
Just remember to put body armor on your dog
Jim:
Your point is noted. That said, where and when does “expediency” stop?
you are nothing but a useless democrat!! beware of your biggest fear!!! And when you people have pushed the conservatives to the limit with your bullshit and civil unrest begins may there be hundreds of thousands of conservatives marching the streets with bump Stocks and you will bow down and beg for mercy but mercy will not come. Trump’s gonna bring old America back and buddy that’s the plan!
Triumph for Trump and our Republic 2010.
BULLS EYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2010 ????
2010 would have been a lot better
The troubling thing is the FACT that many American’s STILL believe the pack of lies put together by the Washington “deep state”. It seems that their HATE for the President is so great they CAN’T bring themselves to acknowledge REALITY. It will be interesting to see what happens when the REAL ‘crooks’ see justice :^)
It isn’t all about the hatred of president Trump it’s what he and conservatives stands for! a government of and by the people and the right’s guaranteed by our Constitution? It’s more about the hatred of the US and our sovereignty and not following Europe’s lead into a Globalist socialist utopian society.
I like the fact that you point out, ” . . . a Government of the people, by the people, . . .”.
It has always bothered me that President Lincoln added ” for the people”! That implies to me the strong potential for what almost happened to our Country. It implies an “Elite”, and that we are incapable of governing for ourselves. It leaves open the potential for “Career” elected officials, which is one thing the “Founding Father’s” did not adequately address, though the intention was for the positions to be temporary. Of course the need for career employees is clear, though I think it has exceeded what really is necessary by at least tenfold, maybe even a thousandfold. It happened because the “Career” elected officials, Congress, had far too much time and way way too much access to our “tax” money!
There is a legal way to get rid of traitors and liars about up holding our constitution with their hands on the bible and we better start useing them or we are going to have a bunch of so called legal aliens pushing every kind of anti-american system you can think of down the throats of this great American way of life. While there are still enough common sense people in power it had better get done.
They accused him of their crimes, Hillary paying Steele for a bunch of lies, thank goodness we have a president that gets things done despite the democrats trying to stop him every way they can. They were all for Mueller and his $30 – $35 million investigation now because he found no collusion they don’t believe him, now they want to do their own investigation, it’s ridiculous.
The Democrats are a bankrupt party. They have wasted two years trying to take President Trump down and have accomplished no legislation. They have spent over thirty million dollars on the Mueller witch hunt and have passed not one bill in congress. What the heck are we paying them for? They have now become a split party. Socialists, Far left wing liberals, owned by Soros and a few, very few, token Democrat moderates. And if the voters think any moderate lucky enough to be elected will be allowed to govern as a moderate, they and their faithful voters will be sadly mistaken. A moderate will be instructed to tow the liberal or socialist line or they will be hounded out of office. Should the Socialists win , you can kiss your freedom goodbye.
But they will never quit, we have half the country thinking Bernie Sanders is the answer to our ills, communism is at the door and idiots believe the lies.
Despite all dirty rotten traitors who tried to get rid of our fabulous president they failed big time, way to go Trumpster! Continue to MAGA!
