Crazy old man yells at cloud.
“Under my Administration, we will never surrender American sovereignty to anyone. We will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment freedoms. And that is why my Administration will never ratify the UN Arms Trade Treaty.”
Twitter:
...unless they are Russians trying to help me win the presidency or Saudis killing journalists, in which cases we will defend them instead of our freedoms.
The treaty does not affect domestic arms sales or the second amendment. It is designed to stop illegal sales of small arms between countries. But of course Trump has to lie to rile his base.
Meaning, US arms manufacturers will never give up on opportunities for sales.
Trump + NRA = Lies to school students he sat in front of on live tv as the students cried about losing their friends and mental disturbance. #DerangedDonald lied and said he was with them and would pass laws. Trump & GOP still send prayers to families & kids killed in shootings
Pray to God that it doesn’t take a shooting at their children’s school for them to even CONSIDER a law. They are more about, “You can’t take my rights!” than “Please keep my children safe.” They are being stingy with their lives!!!!! Me, Me, Me!! Lying #DerangedDonald

The US signed the treaty in 2013 but never ratified it. The NRA has long claimed the treaty poses a threat to the second amendment. On Friday its members stood, applauded and chanted “USA! USA!” as Trump signed a letter to Congress halting the ratification process, then tossed his pen into the crowd.
A delighted Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, said: “Barack Obama and John Kerry tried to force us to accept international gun control under the power of the UN, but Donald Trump has said: ‘Not on my watch.’”
Bob Menendez, top Democrat on the Senate foreign relations committee, said: “This is yet another myopic decision that jeopardizes US security based on false premises and fearmongering. While Americans from all walks of life have come to painfully understand the threat posed by not doing enough to prevent weapons from ending up in the wrong hands, it is disturbing to see this administration turn back the clock on the little progress we have made to prevent illicit arms transfers.”
