Silly dimwits, Russian moneys went to abismo Obamination and his Soros spies and the crazy conniving colluding clintons. So if you want their records NRA let’s also get BarackObama and HillaryClinton. Oh wait you can’t they destroyed all their emails and records lockemup

Funny how he feels the need to weigh in on the internal workings of a private association.

Hurry, NRA. You need to return to laundering Russian money for Republican donations! Perhaps while you're having some down time, rename yourselves to the National Russian Association. Have a little truth in advertising.

What is it about this organization that demands the attention of the president of the USA?

He demanded. Glad he’s king of the world.

realdonaldtrump doing his annual state of address to his radicalized militia.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

NRA gave DerangedDonald $30M in last election.

Because they were his biggest donors in 2016😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It would be sweet to bear witness to both the NRA and trump meeting their inevitable demises simultaneously.

You mean the Russian Trump NRA..right?

All the hate crimes that happen in America and around the world is caused by the hate full words of this President Trump because that's all Trump does is preach hate.

Trump is worried about money down the drain for his campaign.

we should be getting the tax records of the nra. force them to disclose their donor list.

He needs them to launder the Kremlin money for his upcoming campaign!

The leaders of the NRA need to sit together at a round table, with their weapons, and start arguing with each. Let the bullets fly !

a lot of our problems would be solved if the NRA disappeared

NRA officials stealing &misusing Kremlin campaign funding.

Wingnut asks fetish cult to pull it together. Stat!

What's good for the 'goose'....

Or what?

Can't wait to see nra just self implode

And our Grifter in Chief is quite experienced in this arena.

Since when is HE the boss? Maybe he should keep his Pinocchio nose out of it 🙄

The NRA must continue to launder Russian money to help his campaign.

I hope they eat each other up. Nest of vipers.
