Remember Trump plays rope-a-dope: he offers the opposition everything they want, in a way that they can’t take “yes” for an answer. Having neutralized their own arguments, he wins his thru their self-imposed impotence.
What part of 4D chess involved attacking fellow republicans for being “petrified” by the NRA (thereby attacking the NRA as well)?
Oh, yes, trust Trump! It's 3D chess, no 4D, no 5D chess!
The "afraid of the NRA" comment told me everything I needed to know. This President is not going to protect my rights, and looks like he is going to infringe them. Therefore, I will prepare for two events: 1) civil war, and 2) not to vote for Trump in 2020.
