Hillary Clinton is perfectly pulling Trump’s strings as presumptive GOP nominee announced that he is flip-flopping and now supporting a bill that would prohibit people on the terror watch list from legally buying guns.
Trump tweeted:
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.

Here is how that meeting is likely to go.
Trump: We need to support this bill.
NRA: No.
Trump: I’m the Republican nominee.
NRA: So.
(Trump fires off six angry tweets about the NRA, and then pouts in his office.)
Donald Trump is not going to convince the NRA to support the bill. What Trump has done with his latest flip-flop is confirm that he was lying to the NRA. Trump is not pro-gun. Trump is pro-Donald Trump.
The Hillary Clinton campaign is playing Donald Trump like a fiddle. They can pull his strings and make Trump dance. His flip-flop on the gun ban for people on the terror watch list is a disaster for the Republican Party and an embarrassment for Republicans who have been opposing this legislation.
Trump is falling apart. He is changing his positions by the second. The Republican nominee will say or do anything to be elected, even if it means contradicting a speech he gave to the NRA less than a month ago.
After saying he will protect the Second Amendment, Trump now supports a restriction on buying a gun.
Hillary Clinton is campaigning circles around Trump, and the man who will be the GOP nominee is so delusional that he thinks he’s winning.
