Trump painted the victims and survivors of the Stoneman Douglas shooting as the bad guys on the gun issue by calling the NRA patriots and good people.
Video:
Trump said, “But I’ll tell you what I spoke with the NRA. The top people. And I spoke — they gave me tremendous support. And tremendous. I think I had their earliest — their earliest — I was probably the earliest one, Kellyanne, from what I hear, you know, ever. They endorsed me at the absolute earliest point that you could. And I’m a believer. But I spoke to him, and they’re ready to do things. They want to do things. They’re good people. They’re patriots. They love this country.”
Trump only thinks in terms of good guys and bad guys, so if the NRA are the good guys on this issue than the “bad guys” are survivors and victims families who are calling for gun control. Trump isn’t going to take on the NRA. Trump is only going to endorsed NRA approved changes that will do nothing to get dangerous assault weapons off the streets.
The NRA isn’t good people. They are the lobbying arm of gun manufacturers. The NRA is not a membership organization is a political lobbying arm for gunmakers, so what Trump is telling victims of gun violence is that the gun makers are the good people, and the bad people are the ones who don’t want to get shot and killed in a mass shooting.
Trump’s words were nothing less than an attack on gun violence victims, as he once again demonstrated that when faced with a moral choice, Trump will always pick evil over good.
