Tic-Toc, LOL.

I offer up this same challenge (^^ as in the quote above) to give opportunity every so often, for the Trump detractors to provide any proof whatever for all the charges of bias and racism they like to spread against the President. Of course no examples are ever forthcoming because the charges are nothing but lies and slander. As are 99% of the rest of the negativity.

As you know, TRT, I voted for Trump and will be voting for him again in 2020. I agree 100 percent with your assertion that he is anything but a racist. However, there are so many examples of Trump blatantly lying that I am not going to waste much time recapping examples of his dishonesty. Had you ended your challenge to Trump detractors at providing examples of the president showing the kind of racial bias or outright racism that Obama and so many liberal politicians exhibit on a daily basis, then you would have been on solid ground.

Implying that there are no documented examples of Trump lying is going a bridge too far, IMO. When it comes to lies, Trump belongs to the go big or go home school of prevarication.

It appears that President Trump is ready to join forces with the despicable duo of Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell to undermine the Second Amendment rights of American citizens. Donald Trump is the best available candidate among a very bad crop of 2020 presidential contenders but I doubt that he will be running a clean, character counts type of campaign in 2020.

I would say that I have been disappointed in the job that Trump has done on many counts, including signing trillion dollar budget deficits into law, but I expected that his performance would be the mixed bag that it has been so far and is likely to be in the future.

Background Checks

Trump asserts that an "overwhelming majority of people who go through background checks are law-abiding gun owners" and that too many states fail to properly put criminal and mental-health records into the database system.

The GOP nominee wants to focus on fixing defective gun legislation already in place, instead of expanding on it in order to avoid infringing on the Second Amendment rights of Americans.

"What we need to do is fix the system we have and make it work as intended. What we don't need to do is expand a broken system," Trump says on his campaign website. - from Business Insider article Oct. 8, 2016

Most criminals who use guns during the commission of violent crimes are never subjected to background checks and will never be subjected to them because criminals don't pay any attention to worthless, feel good legislation passed by cynical, dishonest politicians.
