At CPAC 2011, Donald Trump stated that he supports the Second Amendment's protections for gun owners. However that is not the whole story. In this book "The America We Deserve" p.102 he says:
"I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun."
Although there is no generally accepted definition of an "Assault Weapon" (can't all weapons be used for assault?) previous law has attempted to define and differentiate an "assault weapon" from popular sporting rifles by cosmetic features or those deemed to make the rifle appear aggressive or militaristic, and not any feature that improves the functionality or makes the rifle any more dangerous. These laws tend to even ban features that add to comfort or even safety of a rifle design.
Because there are little real differences between todays popular self loading sporting rifles and those that were banned by "Assault Weapons" laws and the fact that the second Amendment is not about sporting or hunting uses of rifles, one can only conclude that any attempt to ban "Assault Weapons" is an attempt to infringe upon the Second Amendment itself.
In my opinion, Donald Trumps support for the 2nd Amendment is similar to saying you support your favorite football team and want them to win, but you also support a limit of one touchdown per game, and limit how many defensive players your team can have.

What did Donald Trump mean when he said second amendment people could thwart Hillary Clinton?
Some people took this as a veiled threat against Hillary Clinton's life, but he says it was out of context. He was playing off of the fact that Hillary Clinton has anti-gun views. He was saying if all the supporters of the second amendment united together to vote against her, that it would be enough to keep her out of office, but it could be open to interpretation. The original quote was, "Hillary wants to abolish -- essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know." Hillary Clinton went to Twitter to reply, "A person seeking to be the President of the United States should not suggest violence in any way." Trump later stated a clarification, "It's called the power of unification -- 2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won't be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump." Although many felt that was a clarification, others still feel that was not his intent. There were Twitter responses such as "Don't treat this as a political misstep. It's an assassination threat, seriously upping the possibility of a national tragedy & crisis."
Is Donald trump losing the vote?
Yes. Donald Trump did not win the national popular vote, but won the Electoral College vote - which is how the President is selected. Anti-Trump factions have been trying to prove that Russia had involvements in the election that might have affected the outcome. After a year, they have not come up with anything definitive. To date, it seems the DNC might have been more actively involved with Russia than the GOP. The Investigation is ongoing.

Why is the Democratic Party against the Second Amendment?
The Democratic Party is not against the Second Amendment, it is merely for gun control. The idea of gun control is that you shouldn't be allowed to own an AK, because the only reason to own an AK is to kill other people. Republicans usually charge that because Democrats are pro-gun control, that they are anti-second amendment, but those are two different things.

Why Do Working Class Americans Support Trump?
Working-class Whites support for Donald Trump: The accepted explanation points to racial and ethnic resentment and to anxiety about immigration, with economic factors secondary. Based on a community study, I argue that feelings of reverse discrimination and anti-immigrant sentiment reflected both racial and economic factors. It is difficult to conclude that either factor was more important than the other.
