Done. Finnito. I am here now. Stop worrying about political attacks on the 2A as long as I am in the White House."
But less than two years after his inaugeration, his true colors started coming out. Just sitting next to people like Feinstein after that Parkland shooting was enough for me. I would not sit in the same room as that woman. When he signed "Fix NICS of 2018" in early 2018, I was like, "if this guy will sign a gun control bill in his first term, just think what he'd be willing to sign as a lame duck President in his last two years." No telling what he'd sign off on.
Im sorry, I cant bring myself to vote for Trump again. I understand the reasoning that Trump will be appointing another Supreme Court Justice (or two) in a second term. As well as appointing more Federal Appeals Court Judges. Im down with that. The Senate wont confirm any liberal or RINO Federal Appeals Court Justices Trump might appoint. But the legislation Trump might be willing to sign off on in a second term...I cant see voting for a RINO who is in reality, lukewarm on 2A issues except for himself, his two Sons and his family.
My strategy is to write in for President, vote straight GOP for all Senators and Congressman running. Its the legislature that calls all the real shots anyway. They have power of the purse, they confirm appointed federal Judges, the founders intended for the legislature to be the "big hitter" of the three branches of our government, not the Executive branch. Look how the GOP controlled legislature blocked and tackled every single gun control attempt by obama during obama's second term. Not one piece of gun control legislature was passed in obama's second term, it was because of a stalwart GOP controlled legislature. It frustrated the hell out of obama, you could tell. The only thing obama got thru in his second term was a few executive orders and actions, thats it. And Congress reversed the worst one as soon as Trump was inaugerated in early 2017. The Social Security Disability Executive Action obama passed, it got reversed by Congress early 2017.
Trump lied while campaigning to get elected...
