TRUMP: I'll go down 5 points in the polls by saying this, but I think Obama's tears were real
The Business Insider ^ | 1/6 | Colin Campbell

"I actually think he was sincere. I'll probably go down about 5 points in the polls by saying that," the Republican presidential front-runner joked. "But I think he was sincere."

But Trump, who has vowed to reverse Obama's executive action, nevertheless said the president most likely "means well."

"I think he's incorrect about it. They're just taking chunks and chunks out of the Second Amendment," he said. "But I think he probably means well."

Trump went on to say that mass shootings were the result of a "huge mental-health problem," not a lack of gun-control measures.

Some day Trump will figure out how and when to bridle his tongue. Today is not that day.

I read it right. He doesn’t mean well.

I’m sorry you don’t understand. Donald may lose 5pts with Obama haters (that would be pretty much me and everyone I know). But he will pick up 10pts or more with potential crossover voters who will see him as more empathetic, reasonable, sensitive, blah, blah, blah.... I am not affected by this statement of his because I understand he’s got a strategy in everything he says and does... The end of that strategy is “Make America Great Again” Ok... ready for all the delusional fanboi flamers... have at it, but I’m right.

I have to look at the video but the first time I saw it in length I believe he touched his left eye earlier in the presentation.

Could be wrong though.

Were the tears real? Sure they were.

Were they the result of his inability to do more to confiscate our guns? Yes.

Ah, yes, real tears of joy over the assault on and further infringement of the Second Amendment. Sincere, you betcha, the bastard is dead serious about going after the guns of honest citizens.

Naw.

Reuters will boost you 5 more points in the polls and they will absolutely obliterate the conservative Ted Cruz in the polls putting their crony leftist poll paying boots across Cruz's constitutionalist neck.

Trump knows how to get those Democrat votes that he needs.

But, it is not a ‘huge mental-health problem’, it a lack of Christian teachings that are the basis of American culture and basic goodness.

We don't tell kids that murder is a sin.

Not true. Obama was reminiscing about the funerals of his idols Saul Alinsky and Frank Davis. Any Communist would be driven to tears contemplating the deaths of those demons.

Someone post that info about psychopaths crying from one eye at a time.

You’re wrong DT.

Saying someone "means well" when they do something you abhor is a put down. Kind of like Trump saying that Jeb is "a nice man".

Besides that, it might help keep Obama from siding with hillary.

I don’t care if they are real or not. I am sick and tired of bawl babies. And as well, I am old fashioned enough to not be a fan of grown men hugging each other.

**Real tears. Bush in NY on 9/11.

**Real tears. Reagan every Veterans Day at Arlington National.

**Real tears. Obama, when Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were gunned down.
