Trump pledged at the time to \u201csave our Second Amendment\u201d and appoint judges which would support expansive gun rights.<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>His return visit to speak to the group\u2019s 2017 Leadership Forum in Atlanta is likely to appeal to Trump\u2019s base at a time when he has received criticism for reversing himself on promises to his most ardent supporters. At the same time, Trump\u2019s speech to the influential lobby could repel Democrats and moderates who have been chafing under his presidency and have blocked some of his proposals from advancing in Congress.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaking to the NRA might repel Democrats but there isn&#8217;t much Trump does that doesn&#8217;t repel liberal Democrats. However, I see Trump&#8217;s visit as part of a &#8220;thank-you tour&#8221; to those who supported in 2016 and whose support he continues to need.<\/p>\n<p>Appointing Justice Gorsuch and signing the repeal of the anti-rights Social Security regulations were good first steps. Now we need to see movement on national reciprocity and the Hearing Protection Act. More solid judicial appointments would not hurt either.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s right, President Donald Trump.
