Trump CAVES as support CRATERS after ICE shooting | Another Day
Trump abandons the Second Amendment. Will his supporters stand by MAGA or. their mags? This is just another day. Some say Trump's greatest asset is his. unpredictability. One day he's calling a. reporter a pig to her face. The next. he's asking a Democratic socialist to. the prom. He always zigs when you think. he's going to zag. And today was no. exception because after days of the. administration calling murdered. Minneapolis protester Alex Prey an. assassin who violently resisted ICE. agents over the weekend and claiming. this.
>> This individual who came with weapons. and ammunition to stop a law enforcement. operation of federal law enforcement. officers committed an act of domestic. terrorism. >> Today Trump had this to say about Py's. tragic death. >> Well, I'm looking at that whole. situation. I love everybody. I love all. of our people. I love his family. Uh, and it's a very sad situation. >> Wow. For a second, Trump sounded almost. human. Then I remembered the hand. Still, it's clear that Donald Trump is. finally feeling the backlash against his.
administration's campaign to. mischaracterize VA nurse Alex Py's death. as justified when mounting evidence. points to the opposite. Sorry guys, but. you can't ask people to not believe what. they can see with their own eyes. Just. like you can't ask people to believe. that you're not a walking corpse when we. can all literally see the flesh rotting. off your bones. Still, this morning, Trump genuinely seemed to be trying to. lower the temperature on the. increasingly terrifying and. unsustainable clash between ICE officers. and protesters in Minneapolis. And in. the spirit of the season of love as we.
head toward February, even his betro. chimed in on his behalf. >> We need to unify. I'm calling for unity. I know my husband, the president, had a. a great call yesterday with the governor. and the mayor and they're working. together to make it peaceful and uh. without riots. I'm against the violence. So if please if you pro protest, protest. in peace. >> Wow. Of all the jobs I expected AI to.
steal, I never thought first lady would. be at the top of the list. The. technology clearly has a long way to go, but once they figure out how to make. this Melania bot emote, AI really could. change the world. But while the measured. tones from Melania and Trump were. uncharacteristic, they weren't even the. biggest shock that we got from the. president today because he also had this. to say about the gun that Alex Prey was. legally carrying while he was shot. >> You know, he can't have guns. You can't. walk in with guns. >> What about the Second Amendment? >> Listen, he can't walk in with guns. You.
can't do that. But uh it's it's a very. unfortunate incident. >> Uh I'm sorry. You can't have what now? Did I just hear what I think I heard? >> You can't have guns. You can't walk in. with guns. >> Are you kidding me? I knew Trump was. flailing, but putting any kind of. boundaries whatsoever around the Second. Amendment. Republicans don't even do. that when kindergarteners die. You know. what you give in times like these? You. give thoughts. You give prayers. You do. not give concessions on the Second.
Amendment. Not if you want the. Republican base to stick with you. Trump. should have known this because just this. weekend, one of his DOJ minions tried to. make the same point. And it didn't go so. well. >> Federal prosecutor Billy posted on X. saying, "If you approach law enforcement. with a gun, there is a high likelihood. they will be legally justified in. shooting you. Don't do it." The NRA. responded after this post with a rare. statement, saying, "This sentiment from. the first assistant US attorney for the. Central District of California is.
dangerous and wrong. Responsible public. voices should be awaiting a full. investigation, not making. generalizations and demonizing. law-abiding citizens.". >> And the NRA wasn't the only group to. fire back, naturally. Today, the Gun. Owners of America tweeted, "You don't. lose one constitutional right when you. exercise another. The first and second. amendments are not mutually exclusive. and GOA will defend both with no. compromise. Of course not. Why would you. need to compromise? That's what the gun. is for. In fact, if you want to know how.
unanimous the MAGA rejection of Trump's. statement was, even Kyle Writtenhouse, the kid Trump called a nice young man. after he shot and killed two unarmed men. at a Black Lives Matter protest, pictured here grinning eartoear like. Trump's about to buy him his first. prostitute, tweeted in response to the. Trump administration's criticism of Alex. Freddy's concealed weapon. Carry. everywhere. It is your right. # shall. not be infringed. Take it from me, Kyle. Writtenhouse, the guy who dodged a. double murder charge. But what's so. enraging about Trump's statement today.
is that the man believes in nothing. Why. shouldn't his supporters be pissed when. he's been making promises to stand by. the Second Amendment for almost a. decade? >> You have an administration fighting to. protect your Second Amendment. And we. will protect your Second Amendment. Your Second Amendment rights are under. siege, but they will never ever.
be under siege as long as I'm your. president. That's right. It's all under. siege. Just like your access to health. care, just like your ability to pay for. groceries, but never never your second. amendment rights. No. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah, those are. too. Even when it comes to the very. specific circumstances surrounding. concealed carry laws, Trump has voiced. unqualified support. >> Would you be open to expanding the. national concealed carry to apply to DC.
like it does in other states like Texas? >> Well, they have it in some states and. they feel strongly about it. I, you. know, as you know, I'm in favor of it. Um, people have to protect the I'm a. second amendment person, very simply. People have to be able to protect. themselves. >> People have to protect themselves. There. are monsters roaming the streets who are. capable of anything. Nobody knows that. better than Trump. >> They say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could. stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and. shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any.
voters. Okay, it's like incredible. There it is. Trump doesn't think it. matters if he contradicts himself. because he thinks the magverse supports. him blindly. Not what he's promised them. or what he says he believes. But. naively, Trump failed to realize, or. maybe forgot, or maybe the clot in his. hand went to his brain, that the one. non-starter for his supporters is the. Second Amendment. He's known the. Magverse is all for taking up arms, and. it didn't bother him when it advanced. causes that he supported, right? Just. think of January 6th. The top aid to.
former White House chief of staff Mark. Meadows claims former President Donald. Trump was told his supporters had. weapons on January 6th, but that he said. he didn't care. >> Hutchinson saying under oath that the. president was angry security. magnetometers were being used on his. supporters and that secret services were. turning away anyone with weapons. I was. in the vicinity of a conversation where. I overheard the president say something. to the effect of, you know, I I don't. effing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take the. effing mags away.
>> Trump was fine with his supporters. storming the capital with weapons so. long as they were planning to use them. for his benefit. Now that the right to. bear arms has put his administration in. hot water, though, he expects his. supporters to back away. A violent mob. trusted a liar, and that liar trusted. them right back. And only now, for the. first time in eight years, are both. sides starting to realize, uh, maybe. this was kind of a shitty idea. Maybe. two red flags don't make a right. Is. this really the end? Are Trump and the. gun nuts really breaking up? I thought.
these guys would last forever. What do. you even say at a time like this? >> Uh, it's a very sad situation. >> You're right. It is.
