they say timing is everything in comedy...
no, really. excellent delivery. 10/10.

nonsense, and not worth deconstructing - except to point out that it was clearly a jab at gun nuts. that is, it was the gun owners that were the butt of the joke. it's the dipshit social justice types that are (once again) missing the point - this is just another excuse to push down their authoritarianism and censorship. they'll jump at the opportunity to misconstrue things to push their morals down your throats.
i mentioned it was excellent delivery, and it really was. it was the kind of line you expect to hear in a conan monologue, or a daily show take down.
...and the takeaway is that it's increasingly clear that trump actually doesn't feel comfortable representing the base. he doesn't want to go out there and work up gun nuts and religious crazies. he's getting tired of this.
so, again: excellent delivery. 10/10.

to be crystal clear and absolutely terse: trump was stating, tongue-in-cheek, that he actually supports gun control.
what do you think that donald trump really thinks of these people? do you think he's really on their side? that he'll stand up for them?
he thinks they're a bunch of pathetic, inbred losers that fell for a lot of barely strung together nonsense.
trump has a record: he's always supported gun control in the past - like every other sane northeastern liberal. and, what he's signalling is that he doesn't like the role he's playing, right now.
so, again: great delivery. 10/10.
i hope we get more of this, as it becomes increasingly clear that he's going to lose huge.
trump doesn't have a chance of winning the presidency. but, he can go out with a bang and give us some performance art that will last for centuries.
