This was bound to happen. President Trump’s Morning Tweets are a part of our collective experience, a shared cultural phenomenon bring joy and anger, grief and laughs. Of COURSE he was going to tweet this morning about his disastrous remarks yesterday.

And of COURSE we, and everyone else, are going to write about it.

And of COURSE his tweet to kick things off was a doozy.

Many ideas, some good & some not so good, emerged from our bipartisan meeting on school safety yesterday at the White House. Background Checks a big part of conversation. Gun free zones are proven targets of killers. After many years, a Bill should emerge. Respect 2nd Amendment!

Some not so good? Ya think?

As damage control goes this was a less than inspired effort, but everyone can take some comfort in that he didn’t double down on painting the NRA as villains or ditching due process.

Small victories, folks. Small victories.
