Holy crap, can you even imagine the response if Obama had proposed extrajudicial confiscation of guns?!

If at first you don't succeed, think how many people
you've made happy.

Maybe, probably, you're being a little bit sarcastic. Let me tell you, I'm very proud of our 2nd Amendment people. I want to get a lot more guns out there, into the hands of GOOD GUYS -- and ladies. Our teachers who left the Marines, left the Air Force, left the Army. So many of our teachers are very gun-adept, they have a great skill. Let's get them guns, let's give them a bonus to carry a gun or two, we do the concealed carry. No more gun-free zones. So our schools become hardened targets. And the very COWARDLY shooters -- these guys don't want to die -- will stay away. They'll go somewhere else, away from the children.
Let's ban those bump stocks. The guy in Las Vegas, in the Mandalay Bay -- NOT MY HOTEL -- used the bump stocks, it wasn't great. The guy in Parkland didn't use them. That one could have been really bad, if he had a bump stock.
We have some bad, or sick, guys out there. Some who just aren't safe when they have guns. Maybe they're just too young. The guy in Parkland, only 19 years old. What if we told him, "sorry but you're too young to buy that kind of gun, wait till you're 21 or buy a different one." Like we do with alcohol (it killed my brother). We could save so many lives that way. The NRA hates that idea. But I'm still saying it.
And the mental illness, we have so many mentally ill folks. And so many of them are safe, as safe as regular folks. But Obama wanted to do a thing where if somebody is mentally ill and can't take care of his own money, he wouldn't be allowed to have guns. And I said, hold on here, taking good care of money is so different from taking good care of a firearm, let's repeal that. Let's cancel it because it's very foolish. But, maybe not as foolish as I thought. Because if you look into the school shootings & mass shootings -- not many people know this -- A LOT of those shooters have mental illnesses. Or used to have mental illness. I will be strongly pushing Comprehensive Background Checks with an emphasis on Mental Health.
And when someone goes on Social Media and makes threats, our Police need to be able to go in and take the guns & weapons. When it's a very serious & specific threat. Kathy Griffin, I could have said, "lock her up." Because she shared something HORRIBLE, as everybody knows. I didn't say that, I didn't go after her that way. She still has her knife, her guns, whatever. My son could go on the Internet tomorrow and find another scary picture of her. This is for things like what happened in Parkland, Where someone's going to kill.
Look, this is very simple. Very easy. People complicate it so much, it's not complicated. We need MORE GOOD GUYS WITH GUNS & LESS BAD GUYS WITH GUNS. And ladies.

How can you be sure that it didn't kill you too? Few of us are really sure that you're alive. How many living brain cells do you have? And, how many living hairs?
When Trump starts talking about dead people, all sorts of questions come to mind . . .
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.

Dr. Bornstein, my personal doctor, says I'm "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency" and that I have my own hair. Dr. Jackson, my government doctor, says I have very good brain. He gave me a brain test, I got 30 out of 30 -- let's see Rex Tillerson beat that! Dr. Jackson says I have "incredibly good genes." He says I could live to 200 if I diet & exercise. If we @RepealThe22nd [twitter.com] I could be President in the 23rd Century! And make America unbelievably great! And maybe we'll @RepealThe2nd [twitter.com], maybe not. Stay tuned and we'll see what happens.
