As HallucinatoryBeing pointed out above he thought it would be an easy win with normies and the media. He may have even thought it would save lives. Trump is essentially a classic New York democrat. He doesn't know anything about firearms or 2A and doesn't particularly care for them either way. He only backs the right to bear arms because he's a populist and that's what his constituents demand. Thankfully that means he put in judges who do understand 2A.
Donald Trump Jr. is also a huge gun/hunting/fishing guy. I'm sure he has his dad's ear on some of this stuff. I haven't heard him talk about the bump stock ban though.
What was that strategy? Attack them from the left?
