As he left the White House, President Trump said he was optimistic about reaching a deal with Congress on expanded background check legislation. He added there's 'no political appetite' for an assault weapons ban, though public polling indicates otherwise.

Hold their parents responsible

Politicians must eat the souls of the dead.

If more than 67% of US voters wanted to ban civilian use of military weapons, dt45 still wouldn't be able to do anything about it, he doesn't have the brains or political clout to make that happen.

Yet there has never been a single state to ban assault weapons based in a peoples vote.

NPR is fake as usual...you dont even know the definition of an assault weapon

Words fail me

realDonaldTrump’s message to all Americans on behalf of NRA and GOP. GunViolenceInAmerica GunViolence AmericanCarnage

Define 'assault weapon.'

That’s funny. I have no political appetite for electing do-nothings.

Doing what's good for politics despite it being contradictory to what's good for the people that elected him, because it protects special interest monies that will keep him in power. And people say he's not a puppet... sure sounds a lot like Russian kleptocracy to me?

potuslies

Ban assault weapons

Of course he sees 'no political appetite' since his are being fulfilled by his WhiteSupremacistTerrorism followers who continue to use these weapons of mass murder to kill POC. This man is a menace to civilization & we need to ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW before he incites more death.

no political appetite=the NRA will not continue to support him. ALWAYS WHAT BENEFITS THE TSAR.

There is not appetite? I think there is plenty of money gluttony among interest groups being fed by the assault weapons industry. They lobby and donate to political candidates in millions of dollars. Ask Mitch Mc something, the senator, he knows.

SpeakerPelosi should accept NOTHING LESS than a COMPLETE assault weapons ban. DNC JoeBiden BernieSanders

There is no such thing as an assault weapon,& if men shouldn’t legislate on abortions because they don’t have a uterus, anyone who doesn’t know the difference between what a firearm looks like,& what it’s capable of shouldn’t.also your “polling” is dubious at best.Hillary?

He said there’s no appetite in Congress, not by the public...

Whether or not the public wants gun bans is a moot issue. The 2nd amendment specifically denies the lawful government of the United States to take the issue up. Red flag type laws violate the 2nd,4th,and 5th amendment that the founding fathers demanded before signing on.

The HOUSE has already passed 2 gun control bills but MOSCOW MITCH has delayed them since February WTH, at least bring them to the floor.

Correction: there’s no NRA appetite for it POTUS. Voters may have a different story. I would not oppose a ban on high capacity magazines. If you can’t shoot a deer or other animal with 5 shots you shouldn’t be in the woods.

Since when did public will matter to incompetent authoritarians?

And who cares if there’s political appetite? Do what saves lives!

Hey realDonaldTrump statistics matter, well except for you as mathematics isn’t your strong suit and reading is well beyond your grasp TrumpsTerrorists GunControlNow

Because the gun manufacturers won’t donate to him of assault weapons are banned. Has nothing to do with American citizens! Do a report on how much GOP gets from assault rifle makers and who got what money from them!

No more of your biased polls!!!!....They are irrelevant.

Trump LIES. Assault Weapons are weapons of War to increase body counts and do it quickly. And high capacity magazines insure their effectiveness. WHO WANTS THEM...Gun Manufacturers..who want YOUR $$.

Pretty sure that appetite is money from NRA GOPSponsoredDomesticTerrorism

Not a surprise. Being the chaos agent that he is, he would love nothing more than to start a civil war.

No 'political appetite'? How about the People's Appetite for an Assault Weapon ban? Remember 'We The People'? I believe it's in the Constitution! GOP SenateMajLdr LindseyGrahamSC SenToomey realDonaldTrump Enough with the NRA writing our laws. ENOUGH ElPaso Ohio RepJoshG

He is wrong. Plain and simple.

Mow tellus the part where he says' There os np political appetite for a ban on assult weapons'.

There is an American appetite for an assault weapons ban

We need these high powered weapons off the streets!

There's no political appetite for a ban because they're getting so well fed off the NRA's d**k.

Public polling of Democrats lol most Americans know assault weapons ban is BS

The last thing El Paso needs is that scumbag showing up pretending to be sympathetic

That's a very roundabout way of saying 'the NRA pays us too well but the people don't like it.'

Why doesn't he just go to Toledo, instead?

I’m hungry for an assault gun ban.

Government news outlet advocates for disarming the public.

Go do your thing !

Trump lies again. He knows we want assault weapons ban

Define an assault weapon, specifically, then perform a pole.

But they don’t want him there 🤦🏻‍♀️

And the black and Hispanic circuit court judges?
