Trump policies

There are no policies, it is outsourced to the NRA.

First lady Melania Trump recently hosted a dinner for influential evangelical figures at the White House. During his remarks, President Trump briefly referenced the recent shooting at a gaming tournament in Jacksonville, Florida. A gunman with a history of mental illness killed two people and wounded 11 others. After expressing condolences to those affected, Trump said dismissively, “how it happens, nobody really knows.” We must wonder why the Commander-in-Chief of the United States, who is charged with running the most complex operations of government — not to mention its nuclear arsenal — finds an event like the one in Jacksonville so mystifying. After all, it is his responsibility to oversee federal departments that conduct mandatory background checks on purchasers of firearms — and one disqualifying criterion for would-be buyers is a history of mental illness.

The president was careful to remind evangelicals, “I have given you a lot. Just about everything I promised.” If there’s one axiom that describes Trump’s political modus operandi, it would be: You scratch my back, I scratch yours. While he’s delivered on his campaign promises to conservative evangelicals, he has yet to deliver on his much more consequential promise to the nation made in his 2016 GOP nomination acceptance speech. I was there in Cleveland and heard him say emphatically, “I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored. The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.”

For Trump, you only count if you're the victim of an illegal immigrant or a Muslim terrorist..
