Donald Trump Is Not Just A Clown, He’s A Liberal Anti-Gun Clown

| by

The big joke Tuesday was that comb-over reality TV star Donald Trump announced that he’s running for president in 2016 as a Republican. As if it isn’t funny enough that he’s given hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Democratic Party and the Clinton Foundation, he also said he wants Oprah Winfrey as his VP. And just in case you aren’t convinced of his conservative credentials, it turns out he’s left quite a liberal footprint of anti-gun, pro-abortion, redistribution of wealth, Obam-esque socialism.

Back in 2000 The Don was flirting with running for president as a Reform Party candidate. To get people jazzed about voting for the world’s biggest jackass, he published a book called The America We Deserve, which laid out his positions on a variety of subjects.

Here’s what he wrote about gun control:

It’s often argued that the American murder rate is high because guns are more available here than in other countries. After a tragedy like the massacre at Columbine High School, anyone could feel that it is too easy for Americans to get their hands on weapons. But nobody has a good solution. This is another issue where you see the extremes of the two existing major parties. Democrats want to confiscate all guns, which is a dumb idea because only the law-abiding citizens would turn in their guns and the bad guys would be the only ones left armed. The Republicans walk the NRA line and refuse even limited restrictions. I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within seventy-two hours if a potential gun owner has a record.

While not quite as bad as most liberals, I don’t consider anyone that wants to ban weapons based on cosmetic features a friend to the American gun owner. He says confiscating guns is dumb, but then he supports an assault weapons ban, which outlaws an entire class of weapons based on the fact that liberals think they look scary, and that is somehow smart?

Note how he frowns on the NRA for opposing “limited restrictions” of gun ownership. You either support the 2nd Amendment, which says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, or you favor gun control. Trump obviously is in the latter category.

He also doesn’t seem to know very much about the issue if he thinks there needs to be a waiting period for firearms purchases to ensure they don’t fall into the wrong hands. The background check system is almost instantaneous. The waiting period is something the liberals cooked up because they think that anyone who buys a gun is doing so to murder someone and they need a couple of days to cool off. If Trump looks at gun owners as likely killers, he ain’t no friend to the 2nd Amendment.

Elsewhere in Trump’s manifesto he takes the very liberal position of murdering unborn babies:

There are some issues I don’t want to say much about. I support a woman’s right to choose, for example, but I am uncomfortable with the procedures. When Tim Russert asked me on Meet the Press if I would ban partial-birth abortion if I were president, my pro-choice instincts led me to say no.

Socialized medicine:

We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.

And redistribution of wealth:

I would impose a one-time, 14.25 percent tax on individuals and trusts with a net worth over $ 10 million.

Liberals are rejoicing that Donald Trump has announced he’s running for president as a Republican because they think it reflects badly on conservatives. The thing is, we don’t want him. He thinks like a liberal and gives money to liberals; they can have him. He’s as fake and full of sh*t as Hillary Clinton and has no place in the GOP. He’s a liberal clown that belongs under the democratic big top.

  2. Damn shame he’s two faced, I like a couple of his ideas, a couple. Guess he would be better than Killary.

  3. I’m sure there are some progressive RINOs who are energetically cheering Trump as the cutting edge innovator of what they hope the GOP will one day become in the new Amerika.

  4. Ok. I stand b4 thee, after your research, changed in my opinion. Don seemed refreshing, after a few too many ‘refreshments’…

    • too bad Mr. Anderson didnt do his research properly..Oprah was a joke in an interview…some people believe everything they see in the media, even this clown of a writer.

  5. Love the spin. However I don’t see that he is that far off from mainstream Americans. A statement he made about guns 15 years ago should be looked at more closely. In light of the recent marginalization of our police forces, I can see where most people might change there views on such things. If Obama can’t grab the guns I doubt anyone could. It’s a non issue. The real issue is jobs. Like trump said “the best social program is a job. J-O-B. Job. Nuff Said!

  6. His opinions my have changed in the last 15 years. If Columbine isn’t old news i don’t know what is…
    Not saying i would vote for the guy I’m just saying i won’t judge him on a book he wrote 15 years ago. I know some of my opinions have changed over the last 5 year’s let alone 15.

  7. I used to like this site. Now I’m just getting fed up and annoyed with all the hate-spin hyperbole, the likes of which this article is full of.

  8. Not everyone is perfect and no candidate will have all the correct answers…but, if The Donald is a clown then Brian Anderson must be an Ass Hat. Let’s compare the two. Anderson works for someone…many someones work for The Donald. Is it Anderson or The Donald that is the Billionaire? When Anderson writes, a few people read it…but when The Donald talks, everyone listens and writes about it. So, Ass Hat…who’s the clown?

    • I don’t know… anyone who calls themselves (or has other people call them) “The Don or The Donald”… something MIGHT be wrong there…. Just sounds like someone who puts themselves above everyone else to me… and that’s not what an American president (or any leader) should be.

      • I know your post is older, but if you still get updates, it is known that Donald Trump does NOT like being referred to in those terms. In fact, he really DIS-likes it. … Just sayin’.

  9. It is waaaay too early for me to make any decision about any of the candidates. There is lots of time. Why the rush? Does anybody want to wait for the actual debates anymore? I do.

    • maybe you have lots of time, maybe you don’t. God knows. but Im glad we don’t have to vote today

      • My point is I want to see the candidates debate, then hella research on their claims. Like I did when Hussein ran. And I didn’t vote for him…twice.

  10. Never mind the fact that 9 of every 10 of those ‘with criminal records’ would simply not walk into a store to buy a gun and have that criminal record exposed. So again – only Law abiding gun owners are limited.

    THE solution is not ‘gun control,’ the solution is ‘CRIME CONTROL!’

    • There was an interesting study from Harvard; they concluded that the single most common and critical factor for a person to be involved in a fatal firearm incident, as shooter or victim, is a personal background that includes multiple felony convictions of either of the two involved in the incident.

      (This goes against the liberal mantra of “remove all guns and reduce crime”, but that is as simplistic as saying that if their were no swimming pools there would be no drownings or that if teens practiced abstinence, there would be no STDs or teenage pregnancy, because we know teens can’t be expected to behave responsibly. The Genie is out of the bottle; it must be handled with respect from a position of knowledge. The proverbial Genie can be used for good or ill; your choice.)

  11. I don’t really give a shit anymore because if somebody isn’t elected that’s going to STOP the downward spiral into TRASHY communism, I don’t know about anybody else but I intend to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights and use it for what it was INTENDED for! I will NOT let this happen to America and sit idly by. I wouldn’t be able to look my grandkids in the FACE! I’d rather say ciao, if ya know what I mean!

  13. It’s fun to watch Trump stir things up and get people crazy. But it loses its charm after 15 minutes. While he can get you thinking, he’s really just an egomaniac sideshow.

  14. what do mean? the Donald has been conservative for some weeks now, hahahahaha. heck of a do… dude

  15. half this artical is just wrong. This is like a poor opinion page with false information…shame on you.

  16. im looking forward to hearing him debate hillary! that should be the best television besides seeing him debate all these other loser candidates that could never beat hillary anyway.

  18. I generally oppose eating meat, but I support eating steaks, pork chops, and chicken wings.

  19. Got a set a balls on him…only one so that is refreshing. Couple of good ideas. I’ll give him that. He’d get eaten alive by the un-fireable, unaccountable bureaucrats that run the show in DC.

  21. Trump is amusing, and very likely completely unelectable for many reasons, but the writer’s portrayal of his gun stand seems more than a little extreme. We certainly need a better definition of “assault weapon” before any attempt to limit or ban the things, but the notion that the second amendment provides unlimited access to any manner of “arm” is clearly in no one’s best interest. Where do you draw that line? Bazooka? Law’s Rocket? Tank? Armed drone? The public is clearly protected at some point of “not just anyone can get one of THOSE”. We just need to replace the hand-wringing, over-zealous extremists (on BOTH sides of the table) with rational problem-solvers to determine what “THOSE” are.

    • I do not believe the U.S. Constitution limits the kinds, sizes, calibers,
      magazine capacity, or scariness of the “arms” the Second Amendment
      refers to.

      Remember, the framers (designers) of the Constitution had only recently won a
      bloody war against their government, the King of the British Empire (the British
      (American) Colonies).

      These constitutional designers drew up a document that LIMITED THE GOVERNMENT, NOT
      THE CITIZENS and were very adamant about the citizen populace of this new
      United States being so armed and able to overthrow any oppressive government
      that might become entrenched. They already knew from history that all
      governments eventually become corrupt… And oh, don’t we have an excellent example of
      just how corrupt they can be…?

      Therefore, they believed armed citizens, who would be called upon to form militias
      in time of need, should be well armed to protect themselves from whatever
      threat might occur, whether a corrupt oppressive government, or other nations.

      To follow that thinking, the constitution’s designers believed United States citizens
      should be adequately armed and be able to defend THEIR country (not the government’s
      country) from a corrupt form of government if and when necessary.

      To that end, citizens must be armed with “arms” comparable to, or equal to,
      what a rogue government might have. Therefore the “right” to such unqualified (as
      to size, shape, type, or scariness) arms “shall not be infringed.”

      End of subject.

      Obviously, they didn’t count on there being so many cowardly citizens dependent
      on a corrupt government…!

      • The Constitution was written in times when the crazies and the nitwits were either locked up or didn’t live long. Weapons were also limited to things far less deadly than what we have today. I find it rather disturbing that anyone should be arguing that all forms of military weaponry should be available for general sale to anyone able to afford it. If yesterday’s young murderer had access to grenade launchers, we might not have had any video of him, and he may still be at large after blowing up God knows how many churches.

        And what is an “arm”? Going with your “no holds barred” position, I should think government bans could be ignored… a garage full of fertilizer bombs is OK, as long as you’re only holding them in case you need to blow up “corrupt” government installations. Chemical weapons you make yourself? How ’bout Ebola aerosols?

        And with no “infringing”, anyone sneaking into America could go and pick these things up and start their party! I really don’t think that’s what anyone would intend.

    • The Constitution CLEARLY states that a citizen’s right to keep and bare arms must not be infringed upon. Why? Because the writers of the Constitution foresaw a time when the government might be taken over by tyrannical people and the citizens might have to step up!

      • So anyone in America should be able to buy, build or own whatever is available, or that they can dream up, to kill others, as long as they maintain it’s to defend America as the founding fathers intended? Sarin? Anthrax? Fertilizer bombs? “Not be infringed” taken as an absolute, with no definition of “arms”, can go a terribly long way.

        • Every once in a while a see some light at the end of the “tunnel.”
          Perhaps your kind are beginning to catch on kws11… Perhaps you will eventually learn why morals and virtue are important to a free society…
          Because even if I had a nuclear device or some lethal compound,
          and I am indeed moral and virtuous, you need not worry that I would use any harmful means against someone other than a common enemy to our freedom…
          Without morals and virtue, restrictive laws are needed in an attempt to regulate moral and virtuous behavior of a citizenry.
          Unfortunately governments do not stop at enacting only laws to ensure the citizenry remain moral and virtuous. Governments become tyrannical in nature because the immoral and less virtuous citizens elect government officials that are immoral and less virtuous who will enact laws to take from the proceeds of moral and virtuous citizens and divide those proceeds among themselves and the immoral and less virtuous people who elected them… You know, kinda like what’s happening right now…!
          In order to do that the tyrannical government must enact additional control on both the moral and unmoral and the virtuous and not so virtuous in order to retain power over both the moral and unmoral.
          Remember, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely…!
          John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
          John was a very bright man… He understood that in order to maintain the checks and balances between the government and the governed, the governed must be prepared at any time to oust and remove from control/power any government that was not, or did not permit Americans to enjoy freedom and pursue happiness.
          Benjamin Franklin, Signer of the Declaration of Independence said, “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
          Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of
          happiness] it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to
          institute a new government.”
          Do citizens need drones and nuclear weapons to maintain and control OUR government, rather than the other way around…?
          How much longer, how much more liberty, how much more control, how many freedoms, and the pursuit of happiness will you be willing to part with kws11?
          Hopefully not until nuclear weapons are needed to institute a new government…!

          • Condescending… putting me down… writing a long passage full of very noble thoughts and ideas… and never answering my question. Are you a politician?

          • It’s unfortunate you took my comments to be directly aimed at
            you… But, I can see how that might be taken.
            My intent was not to put anyone down but only admonish the fact we are in perilous times, and the framers of the U.S. Constitution had the foresight to see into the future…
            The noble thought or idea you may not grasp is the framers of the Constitution did not mince words…
            If they had intended a future government to enact laws about arms they would have been more specific about what limits the Federal Government could place on future laws regarding arms,
            but instead they wanted the future citizenry to have the legal ability to fight with whatever might be required to win any future battle with a foreign adversary or even a tyrannical government. So the language used leaves no doubt… So “shall not be infringed” was used and I believe that is not so difficult to understand…?
            Remember the Bill of Rights enumerates what the U.S. Government cannot do, not what it can do… It limits the Federal
            Government as far as regulations about arms. Period…!
            Seems pretty darn simple to me…
            Needing nuclear weapons, explosives, or deadly compounds ought not be needed to make the necessary changes, to our own government, at least I hope not, but in any case I do not believe my right to have or make any device I desire to defend myself, my family, or my country shall be “infringed” based on the clear written word on the U.S. Constitution…!
            Quite frankly, I’d be pretty much afraid for my own safety with all of the weapons, devices, and deadly compounds you mentioned.

  23. On his interview last night, he said the exact opposite on most of those subjects.
    1. Pro-life, except rape, incest, harmful to mother.
    2. Pro-2a, carries himself. Said the more law abiding citizens that carry the better.
    3. Was totally joking about Whoopi Goldberg. (It wasn’t even Oprah Winfrey, Mr Anderson. )

    Check your shit a little closer Anderson.

  24. Any politician wanting to be President
    should immediately be disqualified from holding the office. This is
    what’s known as ‘preventive medicine.’ In fact, the country would be
    better served if we used a second-hand lottery machine to pick our
    candidates. After all, most of us would rather vote for a reliable ping-pong ball than one or another of the bozos on this bus. https://crockettlives.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/is-that-all-there-is/

  25. Brian, you bald-headed grandpa, in your dreams you’d still have hair to do a comb-over. Read your own article, bald one, Trump clearly says he opposes gun control, duh?

  26. If you don’t like Trump, okay – but at least come up with something that closely resembles the truth when you try to disparage him. Omission and stretching the truth is the same as lying. Posting something from years ago doesn’t cut it as truth either.

  27. It’s troubling when journalists use the leftists adopted “assault rifles/weapons” to characterize 100% legal and blessed SEMI-AUTOMATIC rifles. Do these people seek titillation over using the old “assault rifle/weapon” terminology? Is the misuse of the term ignorance or thrill seeking? It’s inaccurate and cheap journalism. Do better!

    • what about assault hammers, assault baseball bats, assault 2X4’s, assault automobiles, assault spoons, assault pencils???

      • Absolutely correct. There’s true story about an adolescent boy and his mother meeting with the school principal. The kid just m a y have had adjustment problems. The kid ran a #2 lead pencil into the principal’s chest, dropping him. The man died.

  28. Wow, some people will believe anything they read on these sites. Trump was joking about oprah, just watch the interview. And the interviews since then. Everything else in this so-called “news article” is a joke also. The writer is the clown, not Trump. I actually agree with a lot of what Trump had to say, and I think he’d be better for America than most of who’s running right now. At least he sticks to his guns and tells it like it is.

  29. And writing an article based wholly on information more than 10 years old isn’t anything like a liberal would do.

  30. He is not as bad as the rest of them. Now is Sara Palin would be his running mate . . .

  31. I’ve been debating a few of you one-on-one about the position that anything you want to own to protect “us” from “them” is fully protected by the Constitution. By the way, I own a few guns, and I plan to own more. Still… my general question to the bigger view…

    If Timothy McVeigh had been pulled over for speeding by the Highway Patrol, and they stumbled upon a truck bed full of fertilizer bombs, you would have them waive him along with a “thank you for looking out for our future freedom, sir”?

    That’s really where you want this?

  32. Why is it the government is so concerned about soft targets like legal law abiding gun owners yet do nothing about black criminals in inner cities shooting everything???

  34. This story is so wrong! Trump is for the second amendment. He carries a gun himself and feels that you should be able to carry from state to state. It is not that way right now. I hate when people try to distort everything. He plans to make some of the laws that have been on the books be enforced. See, we have a lot of good laws already on the books and the Liberals will not allow them to to be enforced. If Hillary wins she is going to go door to door and have guns collected and then we will be unarmed. The criminals will then get the firearms through stealing and kill us. This is a true Socialistic/Communistic way! Please don’t believe everything you read. The Liberals are trying to trick us and continue to lie about whatever makes Trump look bad. Trump will be the best we will ever get to save our country! In God We Trust!! Trump 2016!

  35. Cruz is not an American. His mother gave up her citizenship four years before Ted was born to become a Canadian Citizen.

    • No she didnt! I’m far from a Cruz fan and his mother went to live in Calgary with her husband and when Grampa Munster was born she was still a US citizen

    • That’s untrue… She never gave up citizenship.. If so… Cruz would have been foreign exchange student in college… And that would be public knowledge and would have already come out. Unlike obummer.. People remember Cruz at college

  37. Nice propaganda and misinformation. All you did was cherry pick sound bytes and spin your yarns. Patheyic.

  38. This is crap. Just today, Trump released his “official position” on the 2nd Amendment today on his website. He said, “Trump went on to explain that the right to keep and bear arms is a right
    that pre-exists both the government and the Constitution, noting that
    government didn’t create the right, nor can it take it away.”

    Read more on his site, or here:
    http://conservativetribune.com/trump-plan-2nd-amendment/

  42. One common criticism of billionaire businessman and presidential candidate Donald Trump is that he far too often speaks in vague generalities and rarely offers specifics about where he stands on the issues.

    That is no longer the case, at least regarding his stance on gun rights and the Second Amendment, as Trump just released his official policy position on his campaign website.

    “The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period,” the position paper began.

  43. One, this article was wrote in JUNE 17, 2015.

    Two, the book you quote from was wrote in 2000. That’s a long time ago (16 years). People change.

    HE has changed, therefore his opinions have grown (and there’s nothing wrong with that -look at Charleton Heston in his youth).

    Usually, people get older and wiser and revise their opinions. And he is honest and says so and why.

    Please don’t be like the media who lies, misrepresents, takes out of contexts, omits the whole truth or TWISTS the truth. Thank you.

    I am rather disappointed in you. I think you can do better. : (

  44. Everything in this story is true. You guys just hate to hear it. Maybe he has changed, or maybe he is just a good salesman and you guys are buying……….. Either way, I’m excited about the possibility of him being President. I personally despise the guy. Even when he was a liberal…..you know a few years ago? Beautiful Disaster.

  45. MORE GLOBALIST LIES!! Trumps position is crystal clear – all people have the right to keep and bear arms. No restrictions on “assault” weapons or limits on magazines. Put real criminals in jail, and let law-abiding gun owners alone. No regional restrictions – a license anywhere is good everywhere. Keep and bear means keep and bear.

    Don’t fall for this character assassination! Trump didn’t say most of the words that are being put in his mouth. The globalists are terrified of a President that won’t play along with the planned destruction of the USA and its submission to global fascism.

    http://conservativetribune.com/trump-plan-2nd-amendment/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=CampaignMonitor&utm_content=top-story&utm_campaign=DailyEmail04.28.16

  46. Damn….almost a year later and it’s not so funny anymore, is it bigboy? Trump’s shoving it in your face. And his recent statements are anything but what is said in your article. You’re a buffoon.

  47. As for the “assault weapon ban” one needs to first get a clear definition of what an assault weapon is. If we base it on military weapons then I’d say it is anything that is capable of firing in full auto mode. Anything short of that is just a rifle, just a handgun.

  51. Trump is not anti gun, this is media BS. Trump is a lifetime member of NRA and so am I . He will protect our 2nd ammendment to keep and bare arms. That is our right to protect ourselves and our families. Trump supports that 1000% and the anti gun people don’t realize that it is a right for responsible citizens, a right for all even them. If they don’t like it they don’t have to participate but those that are pro gun have the right too. Anti gun people cannot take our right away from us because they don’t like guns. We don’t take their car away from them because we don’t like what they drive, do we ?

  53. Trump is allowed to change his party status! So what if he’s donated thousands of dollars to them in the past.

  56. What most do not seem to understand is that Trump has been nothing more than a businessman . Clearly when you have a ton of decisions to make on a daily basis thought process on civil issues takes a back seat . Just the way it is .

    You can go back over 25 years and he hasn’t changed a thing on national issues . He’s changed or rather evolved over the years and even fairly recently . I believe him . I was pro-choice until 20 years ago , everyone can change . I’m voting for him as a Vet and a businessman . He can do what he says .

  57. I smell Lyin’ Ted Cruz here. If you read the position on the Trump site it is fully in line with gun rights activists position and the 2nd.This guy Brian Anderson’s got to be on Lyin’ Ted’s payroll

  61. I see a lot of posts saying you will not vote for Trump. Well if not then you are voting for Hillery, or if you choose to not vote in the election then you are basically voting for Hillery. Not a very intelligent thing to do in my opinion, and that’s why I am through with the republican party. They would rather cut off their nose to spite their face which doesn’t make a lot sense when the goal was to stop Hillery. Hopefully they realize the stupidity in that way of thinking sooner rather than later.

  62. Only one little tiny problem. He switches sides like a flag in a hurricane. All you know for sure is that he wants to win – for himself. Collateral damage be damned. Ask those he hurt in his multiple bankruptcies,. And now he says that the US should get its creditors to accept less money than we owe? Oh, that’s just dandy. I’d never want to go into a deal with him.

  66. We all change when we get new facts. He will keep learning. we all do and change our views. That is human.

  70. Damn shame this writer is a lying piece of shit. On Donald J Trump’s campaign website it states “The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period. The right to keep and bear arms is a right that pre-exists both the government and the Constitution, noting that government didn’t create the right, nor can it take it away.” Whoever wrote this article is obviously a libretard and is trying to get you second guessing. Trump’s web page has all his stances spelled out in black and white. I suggest you go there if you want to know truthfully where Trump stands on the issue. And Brian Anderson, FU POS

  71. Brian Anderson, you are not just a liar. You are a wanton, congenital, deviant liar.

  72. Only thing that is a joke is this crappy article written by this idiot Brian Anderson.

  76. Brian Anderson is a pissed off Hilary supporter that puts out FAKE NEWS. Be cautious folks, there’s a lot of them out there.
