    Thanks Beth, although Mr Trump doesn’t understand, how precious a life is…..
    On TV, I actually smiling and skiting, about his ordered assassination/murder…. now whether it be a supposed enemy or not, the death of a human being is nothing to skite about !! He comes over as very incompassionate and as if it’s all some sort of juvenile game !! 😢😢🌏💙
