President Trump Speaks At The NRA Convention

President Trump just spoke at the NRA convention, and it’s clear. He THRIVES in these environments. This is his bread and butter!

Let’s recap his speech, shall we?

He thanked NRA members, or as he calls them “true American patriots,” for defending our rights.

And talked about Kanye:

He mentioned John Kerry being a terrible negotiator and joked about him falling off his bike and breaking his leg:

He also talked about how Chicago’s gun laws fail on a daily basis:

But this was one of my absolute FAVORITE lines. Trump mocked the stupidity of gun control by floating the idea of banning vehicles.

“We’re going to have to outlaw, immediately, all vans and all trucks which are now the new form of death for the maniac terrorists,” he stated.

I’m so grateful to have a President who says it like it is. What a stark contrast from Obama!

“We will never give up our freedom,” Trump said. “Americans are born free, we will live free, and we will die free.”

Amen to that, Mr. President!
