First, President Trump says he’s for background checks for gun purchases, then he dials back his position (after meeting with the National Rifle Association) by stressing that mental illness should be the focus for reducing gun violence. Then Trump says he’s for increasing tariffs on China, seems to express reservations about doing so at the Group of Seven summit, only to then have aides explain that he actually wants to place even larger tariffs on the world’s most populous country. Frankly, all of this back-and-forth posturing by our Tweeter in Chief is giving me a bad case of political whiplash and wondering about his mental stability.

The G-7 was a great success for the USA and all. LameStream Media coverage bore NO relationship to what actually happened in France – FAKE NEWS. It was GREAT!

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

To the editor:

Not surprisingly, President Trump reversed his recent support for placing some restrictions on gun sales in the wake of several recent mass shootings. When he explained his reasoning for doing so, he provided important insight into who he is and his oftentimes bizarre actions.

Trump is not acting as president of the United States. Instead, he believes his job is to provide support only to those who endorse him. He is incapable of acting in any way that betrays compassion or empathy on his part, or a willingness to antagonize his followers. Since many of his supporters have certain biases, most of us know what Trump needs to do to appease them.

There is nothing that Trump could do more to make America great than to recognize the fact that he is the president of the entire United States, not just of his adoring followers. Only then could he at least appear to be presidential.

Note from KBJ: Stop projecting your lack of empathy onto President Trump, Michael.

The story by Axios that President Trump wanted to blow up large hurricanes with nuclear weapons prior to reaching shore is ridiculous. I never said this. Just more FAKE NEWS!
