Why are you singling her out?

And she did challenge him.

That said, this isn't the place to get into a spitting contest with Trump. He's running his mouth, making commitments and promising the moon and sun, making it much harder for him to walk away from legislation on guns like he did with DACA.

They're smart to let him keep talking.

The repug senator from PA Toomey said he hadn't really addressed changing the gun age to 21 and Trumpy smirked at him "you know why? That's because you're afraid of the NRA!"
Whoaaa I can't believe that orange piece of garbage said that aloud, of course he'll deny it tomorrow.

Cheeto just seemed not to get it at all.

(paraphrased)

"You have to take the lead as President"

"Oh. OK."

Tells-- arms folded means he really doesn't want to hear it and the nodding means "I'll agree to anything and forget about it by dinner time."

I can not be informed if I don't endure the torture of watching EVIL LYING REPUBLICANS.

I watch the lies come straight from their own mouths.

Trump kept going on and on about making it one bill?!

What the hell was that about...? Like that was some stroke of genius...?

Then - like 10 seconds later he's talking about bump stocks being a separate EO?

What a nut!

He stopped Cornyn in mid sentence when he was talking about bump stocks, interrupting him to tell him not to worry about bump stocks, because HE was going to handle bump stocks himself with executive decree, practically beating his chest while he said it.

Toomey: "Our bill had the support of 54 senators, but we couldn't get it passed"

Trump: "That's because Obama didn't support it."

Toomey: "President Obama actually did support the bill."

Trump: "Well, there's your problem."

What an idiot
