Trump’s Gun Policy: More Guns. Trump doesn’t just oppose gun control like most of his GOP colleagues; he has actively pushed the idea that more guns are the answer to gun violence. Trump claims that fewer people would be killed by guns if more people carried guns and could thus fight back if attacked. Trump has also bragged repeatedly that he has a “concealed carry” license and sometimes carries a handgun, despite his own admission that “I’m not such a great shot.” Like he has on most issues, Trump has positioned himself as far to the right as possible on gun control. Trump opposes nearly all gun control measures and has frequently claimed that had the victims of recent attacks — such as those in Paris and San Bernardino, California — been armed, fewer people would have died. Trump opposed expanding background checks, opposed regulations on the number of rounds allowed in magazines, and even opposed a ban on military-style assault weapons designed to kill people. Trump also said he would get rid of gun-free zones in public places, because, he claims, “Gun free zones are like meat to these animals.” Repeal Without A Plan On Health Care. Like every member of the current Republican presidential field, Trump has called for the repeal of Obamacare. He called it a “total catastrophe,” despite the fact that it has provided more than 17 million Americans with quality, affordable health care. When asked what he would do in the ACA’s place, Trump said he would replace it with “something terrific.” Climate Change Denier. Donald Trump seems to be on a mission to out-do his fellow GOP candidates when it comes to denying the scientific reality of climate change and has repeatedly called climate change a hoax. Like on every issue, Trump uses over-the-top language to get attention, like when he declared, “This very expensive global warming bullshit has got to stop.” However, Trump’s bombast doesn’t stand up to reality. Just two weeks after he told a South Carolina crowd “you can’t get hurt by extreme weather,” he tweeted his “thoughts and prayers” to the people of South Carolina after 12 people were killed by historic flooding. Trump Has Supported The GOP’s Reckless Approach To Governing. Trump has expressed support for the GOP’s reckless and irresponsible threats to shut down the government over politically- charged and divisive issues. Trump has expressed support for the shutdown that occurred over Obamacare, has said he agreed with playing chicken with the debt ceiling, and officially blessed” a strategy that would force Congress to defund Planned Parenthood or face a government shutdown. MISOGYNIST IN CHIEF Through both his words and actions, Trump has made clear he thinks women’s primary role is to please - men. Trump’s derogatory and degrading comments to and about women, as well as his tumultuous marriages, have been well publicized. And as a presidential candidate, Trump has adopted many of the backwards GOP policies that we’ve come to expect from his party. Trump Has Devalued And Demeaned Women Repeatedly Throughout His Career.Trump has said men need “support at home…not someone who is always griping and bitching,” and once told Esquire that “as long as you’ve got a nice and young piece of ass,” it didn’t matter what the media wrote. Among other things, he’s called women pigs, slobs and dogs. He has frequently made disparaging comments about women’s weight. He’s complained about being asked legitimate questions during a debate by speculating about a news anchor’s menstrual cycle, and once said of the high rate of sexual assaults in the military: “What did these geniuses expect when they put men and women together?” → Trump On Military Sexual Assaults: “What Did These Geniuses Expect When They Put Men & Women Together?” In 2013, Trump weighed in on the high rate of sexual assault and rape in the military—and in doing so, pinned the blame on women who volunteered to fight for their country. Referring to the increase in the number of reported sexual assaults in the military, Trump asked rhetorically, “What did these geniuses expect when they put men and women together?
