President Donald Trump on Friday reminded the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference to get “off their ass” and vote in the midterms so that Democrats don’t “take away your Second Amendment.”

“Don’t be complacent,” he said. “If they get in, they will repeal your tax cuts, they will put judges in that you wouldn’t believe. They’ll take away your Second Amendment, which we will never allow to happen. They’ll take away your second amendment. Remember that. … They will take away those massive tax cuts, and they will take away your Second Amendment.”

He then asked the crowd whether they’d rather have their “massive” tax cuts or their Second Amendment rights. The crowd’s reaction was clearly in favor of guns. “Second Amendment, tax cuts? Second Amendment? I’m going to leave it at the Second Amendment,” he said. “I don’t want to get into that battle.”

The comments about gun rights come as Trump has indicated his support for at least three proposals that would tighten gun laws, in the wake of the most recent school shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 people dead.

Trump Jokes About His Hair At CPAC: ‘I Try Like Hell To Hide That Bald Spot’

By Nicole Lafond | February 23, 2018 10:26 am

During his second speech as president at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday, President Donald Trump made a joke about his bald spot, saying he tries “like hell to hide” it.

“What a nice picture that is,” he said, referencing a video feed of himself speaking.
“Look at that. I would love to watch that guy speak,” he said, as he turned around and pretended to fix his the back of his hair.

“Oh, boy. Oh, I try like hell to hide that bald spot, folks. I work hard at it. Doesn’t look bad. Hey, we’re hanging in. We’re hanging in. We’re hanging in there, right? Together we’re hanging in.”

The joke comes after a video of the wind blowing Trump’s bald spot out into the open went viral weeks ago.

1. We're also going to mandate that everyone wear pink pussy hats. nt

[christx30]

2. And everyone gets a gay marriage.

Cats and dogs living together! Mass hysteria!

[TomCADem]

3. This Is Effective. Many Gun Enthusiasts Love Guns...

...as much as they love their kids. Consider the enraged response of the NRA to gun control. You might as well say their kids were shot at school.

[Initech]

5. And they love and look forward to any excuse to use them.

That's why Alex Jones, Trump, and his ilk are always stroking the fears and egos of gun nuts. They are addicted to their death toys and they want any excuse to pull that trigger. All it takes is one.

[ewagner]

11. Sooooooo...

This is going to be the complete theme of the GOP campaign in the fall..

Trumpster never was very good at keeping a secret.

[Initech]

4. Go eat a bag of dog shit, Trump!

[The Mouth]

6. To give the devil his due

Twitler knows how to keep a message simple and keep repeating it. Boil it down to a few points and hammer, hammer, hammer them home.

We lost to the Nazis until we stopped underestimating Rommel.

Even asking a crowd to make a choice, or state something out loud is a POWERFUL technique, those people that vocalized will be statistically more likely to vote than those who didn't.

It's so easy to miss just how manipulative Oranganus is because he can be so loathsome.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

7. That might be a good idea. Thanks for suggesting it, Trump.

[iluvtennis]

8. Same shit, different day. This is EXACTLY the same stuff he said during on the GE campaign trail...

...we Dems gotta keep up our ferociousness and keep that Blue Tsunami coming in the 2018 elections.

[C Moon]

9. If Trumputin can't have their war in Korea...

they'll have it on U.S. soil.

[Stonepounder]

10. I had no idea that it was that easy to change the Constitution.

Are they just going to redact the 2nd Amendment?
Of course the Orange Shitgibbon thinks he alone can abolish the 1st Amentment.

[jazzcat23]

12. This continues to blow my mind,

that so many people believe it's so easy to remove the 2nd amendment! What, by decree? We need the Dems to get out there and explain, for one thing, this isn't how it works. The constitution is not written in pencil, you can't just erase parts of it. This is a very long process, to add or remove an amendment. Obviously, we need to educate the population of this country, and we need to do it now...there's not that much time till November...
