It’s gonna be lotsa fake news ahead...You don’t strip the Senate....geez...even Trump knows that...unless they can absolutely be replaced with a Republican who can win the seat.
It might take a while...but they’ll recover those bullets. The direction and range is very limited. They should have at least 3 of the bullets from the victims.
I think it is to protect them...the intention being not to have them altogether at any one time. And we don't know what is happening when the camera is not on.
I trust Melania and President Trump in all they do to protect their family.
