Is there anyone who has ever endorsed Donald Trump who wasn’t embarrassed by the decision less than two weeks later? The most recent honoree in the Trump endorsement embarrassment sweepstakes is the NRA, who woke up to this tweet this morning from Donald Trump:
I will be meeting with the NRA, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no fly list, to buy guns.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 15, 2016
There are so many problems with this, I don’t know where to begin, so I’ll begin with the first reply:
@realDonaldTrump Meeting with Congress might work, too? Er, you’re right. The NRA writes those laws.

Good Lord. Caving after 24 hours to a nonsense public pressure and announcing that you’re basically going down to the organization to tell them how they ought to feel about something is just about the most embarrassing thing Trump could have possibly done to the NRA. And count on them to swallow it with hardly a peep, because what else can they possibly do at this point?

How does @NRA continue to back someone who pushes Dem plan to take away gun rights without due process? https://t.co/cWtO839FbI

That is incredible. Not only is Trump backing the unconstitutional Dem plan, but also adding to false perception NRA is standing in the way.

Can't wait for Trump's "conservative" backers to explain why it's good to take away 2nd amend. rights bc someone ends up on a gov't list.
