National Emergency: Trumps Support to the NRA

Since Parkland: 12 Months. 1,200 Kids Killed by Gun Violence. https://t.co/rc1uejtcbK

Trump, your inability to acknowledge a gun was used to kill my daughter is despicable. As you continue to politicize her murder, please avoid any references to her until you are able to deal with the reality that gun violence took her life and the lives of 40,000 others.

Just weeks after Trump championed gun restrictions in a rambling televised appearance, he backpedaled on Monday, offering a gun plan that largely hews to the NRA’s orthodoxy and seemingly scraps his proposal to raise the buying age for some guns. https://t.co/XhNXpZ2G3n

Trains Are Evil

Things which make Trump happy:

California has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars. They owe the Federal Government three and a half billion dollars. We want that money back now. Whole project is a “green” disaster!

The spinning machine will soon see the coin run out and when it does the trickery will meet Putin, Xi and a Trump with congress chewing on his nuts if he gives an inch. It is truly depressing what the UK has allowed its political machine become in recent years. #Brexit pic.twitter.com/LifayFIQEJ
