I thought it was an inappropriate statement ... we can't treat the USA the way they treated us under President Obama."pic.twitter.com/pdgMPxFaVM

Trump shits on

Peter is such a biased -- you should be able to ask the same question in a better way."pic.twitter.com/jneWHgOAiZAfficher cette discussion -

Trump's posturing about the need for "very meaningful background checks" was a charade. His echoing of NRA talking points on Wednesday proved it.https://www.vox.com/2019/8/21/20826511/trump-background-checks-nra-el-paso-dayton-shootings …
