    Trump seems to be just learning about Manchin-Toomey bill, which has been vigorously debated since 2013. Says he hadn't heard a lot about it. Suggests bill "didn't have a lot of presidential backing" even though Obama pushed it hard. Says he "likes" responsibility of pushing it

        Trump also suggested marrying the Fix NICS bill with Manchin-Toomey - a position that Democrats support but which Senate GOP leadership strongly opposes.

        He then asks if Manchin-Toomey raises the age for purchasing AR-15s, which of course it doesn't address. He tells Toomey "you're afraid of the NRA" for not including raising the age limit. .... even though the NRA furiously fought the Manchin-Toomey bill

        Trump now breaks with the House GOP/NRA. "If you add concealed/carry to this, you'll never get it passed," he tells Scalise. That was included as part of the House's Fix NICS bill

        Yep, thats when PRESIDENT OBAMA said what we have been saying all along. Congress failed because they caved and continue to cave to big gun corporations.

        PLEASE, every member of the media needs to call out Trump on these LIES he is telling today about Obama not supporting gun reform! The members of Congress are sitting there taking it and maybe they have to, but YOU don't!

        Expected better from Manchin to at least set the record straight about Obama's plea for gun control that intended to go above and beyond.

        Why do these politicians just sit there and allow this stupid talk from a no-nothing? Do they have no spine? I guess not.

        Obama gave fiery speech in Rose Garden with Sandy Hook families when the bill failed.

        To be fair, if it wasn't on FOX & Friends, he probably truly did not hear about it.

        It wasn’t — it was a policy that Pres. Obama pushed. No policy coverage of #44 at all from FoxNews.

        He has no idea what is going on. He just wants the photo op and his name on banning bump stocks so he can say he did something.
