Trump signals his bluff on gun control with the NRA

[vmax]

This comforts me quite a bit

NRA's Chris Cox met with Trump and Pence yesterday and tweeting that Trump and VP Pence do not want gun control and stongly support due process and shortly after , Trump tweeted a similar tweet and said the meeting went great with the NRA

Hopefully this will have a calming effect on the sky is falling crowd.

Thats what I love about Trump Tell everyone what they want to hear and then do what he was going to do from the start anyways.

That is a pretty accurate assessment.

It makes absolutely no sense to say what he did on Wednesday and then turn around and then come around on this in days. Unless he is telling both sides what they want to hear or the NRA talked some sense into him and gave him an out .

My bet is on the former.

Yeah it doesn't, does it? Just like what was said in the "Trump backs Swinestein" thread, actions speak louder than words. I guess we'll have to see what transpires.

I'm still sending letters to Trump and all my reps to let them know how I feel.

Guess all those emails we all sent yesterday had an impact.

I'll wait to see how this plays out.

The Trump pendulum can still swing wildly in any direction before this is settled.

Is he "signalling a bluff" or is he trying to long con both sides?

The Trump pendulum can still swing wildly day to day in any direction.....

And every time he swings wildly, I ask myself -"is this better than Hilary?". And every time, I answer "YES".

"Less shitty than the alternative" isn't what made this country great.

But it does seem to be slowing the seemingly inevitable spread of liberalism.

Agree of course, but this constant self-inflicted turmoil is wearing me out. There's no reason for it, especially on this issue. He cannot cross his base on gun rights and survive politically.

This is all talk. Let’s see what kind of idiotic proposals get made, come close to passing, pass and what Trump does with stuff that gets to his desk. In the end I care about action, not gum flapping.

LBJ got a lot done (whether you agree with what he did or not, he got a lot done) by telling everybody exactly what they wanted to hear, blatantly lying his ass off, and doing whatever the hell he wanted to do, anyway. All the while, he was flying off to Texas to swim in beds full of prostitutes or entertaining his special secretaries in Washington. Yeah, they were actually on the White House payroll with the job title "special secretary". Their only job was to hang around, look pretty, and be at the beck and call of POTUS.

People act like Trump is a bad person. Perhaps he is. But it's not like we haven't previously seen plenty of unsavory characters to the highest office in the land.

I wonder what the press would do to LBJ today.
