So the word “and” has no meaning?

Perhaps Trump learned to parse words from his friends Bill and Hillary. It all depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.....

And does have meaning. As in “And on Military bases, my first day, it gets signed.”

And separates the military bases from the Schools. He does not say I will get rid of gun free zones on schools and military bases. He says:

I will get rid of gun free zones on schools. You have to. And on Military bases, my first day, it gets signed.

If you listen to the video, it is pretty clear in context. He is talking about military bases. Then he adds that he will get rid of gun free zones on schools. The he says,

“And on Military bases, my first day, it gets signed.”

I admit Trump has this kind of stream of consciousness style of speaking. These are not stump speeches. There is no teleprompter. The speeches are not memorized, so the syntax is not absolutely clear.

But it is pretty clear from the context that he was primarily speaking about military bases.
