President Trump spoke to reporters last night, Politico reports.
QUESTION: “But you’re not willing to support universal background checks right now?”
TRUMP: “I’m not saying anything. I’m saying Congress is going to be reporting back to me with ideas. And they’ll come in from Democrats and Republicans. And I’ll look at it very strongly. But just remember, we already have a lot of background checks. OK? Thank you.”
Playbook: “The president has trouble holding a position for more than a few days. This certainly seems like the president is backing away from background checks, and is settling into the old GOP position of bolstering mental health protections.”
