DJT frequently makes public statements to then see what his base and the rest poll on a subject.

Sounds like someone who doesn't know what he believes.

how did The Atlantic know he called and what the topic was?
The right decision but their are still spies in his network.

Because day to day life goes on in politics city. Trading information and tips is a basic part of that work scene and culture. One day Trump will be gone but people in the political culture have to find jobs and be able to tap into the gossip network or they are finished. The only fairly big name DC personality that voluntarily walked away, that I can remember, is George Gilder, when after the end of the Cold War bought into the end of history trope and turned the Spectator into an IT and computer magazine. I guess he did pretty well after a really rocky start.

What about the Red Flag law that he said he supported and that Congress is drafting?

You left out any next door neighbors with petty gripes over real or imagined axes to grind just like they can do now with calls to IRS claiming supposed taxes transgressions!!!

Just saw PDJT’s statement on Dobbs. Excellent. (Also, I like his tie.)

... that of all the so-called “mass” shootings in recent years, none of them involved firearms that were purchased from a private seller.

There will be a rash of such shootings, as soon as "they" get wind of this.

A new bone for the media.....Pelosi and Schumer will be disappointed that the President doesn't care about saving lives.

Now let's talk about abortion.

“And how did The Atlantic know he called and what the topic was?”

Good question. The source was specifically singing to the Atlantic, not the NY Slimes..

I knew he wasn’t going to stab us in the back. That’s why I didn’t bother reading or responding to all the doom mongers who said he would.

The Donkey’s just want to capitalize on panic/fear/outrage after some lunatic has killed a bunch of people. That’s why they always try to push their chitty politics immediately without even waiting for the corpses to grow cold. All you have to do is stall. Then the emotion subsides and people start thinking more rationally again.

Why don’t they just make murder illegal and be done with it?

I dont have to go through background checks, BUT that is because I had to let them crawl up my ass with a microscope and a sifter when I applied for my carry permit.

Right on President Trump. We have enough restrictions on my right to own a gun/ammunition and protect myself. I live in this communists Democratic and illegals land of the sick and don’t feel California is the place to live. Trying to get out of here.

He’s only opposing Universal Background Checks to get votes.

But we perpetual cynics (and trolls) here know better because we all know that there is NO DIFFERENCE between the parties and if Trump holds strong against background checks, it’s not because he means it, it’s because he simply wants votes.

We’re not dumb won’t be fooled!

IMHO, the only Red Flag bill that PDJT will agree to is one that guarantees due process (pre-accused confronts accuser in court before any seizure takes place) and mandates that false accusations result in harsh penalties including prison time, fines, and paying of all court costs.

Democraps will choke on that as will Flimsey Grahamnesty, the little bastard RINO.

FWIW: the last ninety Red Flag denunciations in CA resulted in 89 being dismissed by a judge. You now have 89 disarmed gun owners trying to get their property back.
