I’m actually sort of curious to see how/if Trump, a life-long New Yorker, wears the moar-guns-guns-are-good-guns-are-great thoughts-and-prayers mantle. It’s not baked into his lifestyle or worldview; I actually don’t find it impossible to believe he’ll cut against GOP dogma in this instance. Too many “bad hombres” out there who can buy up whatever they want and go crazy with it.

ETA: of course I’ll find out by reading the transcript; listening to that man attempt to talk makes me want to pound a glass of hemlock.

What’s gonna bother me most is the MSM complimenting him on being Presidential.
I don’t even think I’m gonna read the transcript.
ETA 3:40 EDT: CNN. I knew it.

Eh. They follow him, but he owes them not a microgram of loyalty. Donald isn’t real big on the quo part of quid pro quo
