Donald Trump Has Some Thoughts About Obama's Tears

"I actually think he was sincere."

Donald Trump has some thoughts on the tears President Barack Obama shed at a press conference Tuesday: He thinks they were real.

The Republican presidential candidate told Fox News on Wednesday he -- unlike many of the hosts on the network itself (see below) -- found Obama's anguish "sincere."

“I actually think he was sincere," Trump told "Fox & Friends." "I’ll probably go down about 5 points in the polls by saying that, but I think he was sincere.”

Many conservatives questioned Obama's show of emotion, which came as he unveiled gun-control measures and, while doing so, recalled several recent mass shootings, including the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, that killed 20 children.

“I think he’s incorrect about it, they’re just taking chunks and chunks out of the Second Amendment," Trump added, "but I think he probably means well.”
