Or so it would seem from this clip from Hal Sparks: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/DMS560uIVrU/maxresdefault.jpg "Donald Trump's AFPI Policy Plummet in Washington DC ~ Part 1") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMS560uIVrU) ---

Here is text link discussing it for those like me find Hal Sparks’ delivery even more annoying than Trump. > **[Trump: ‘Take the guns first, go through due process second’](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/376097-trump-take-the-guns-first-go-through-due-process-second/)** > > President Trump on Wednesday voiced support for confiscating guns from certain individuals deemed to be dangerous, even if it violates due process rights. “I like taking the guns early, like in thi… Since this came out in 2018 I doubt that it will have much effect on anyone politically. I think it goes to show that Trump really doesn’t care about policy, he just reads the room and tells that kind of thing that he thinks those around him want to hear. It also matches his view of the legal system, where its better to act first and then get things tied up in court than to act legally. ---

I remember that from when it happened. Remarkable for being the only time the Republicans were able to get Trump to shut his pie-hole on an issue. I wonder what kind of leverage they had to use and I wonder why it only worked the one time. Trump’s fans of course do not care about this and would find a way to excuse it as they do every other time he wipes his ass with the American flag. The Deep State made him say it! ---

You can enter this into the collection along with David Muir’s interview with President Trump discussing opening up the quarantine restrictions so businesses could return to doing business. Muir asked him, “What will happen to the people, if you end quarantine now?” Trump said, “People are going to die.” And die they did. ~VOW
