Read it many years ago, and it has stuck with me. "Peace on Earth. Goodwill to Men".

It is stunning how clueless Twitlers core is. Hey Trumpsters.....we are not the original Inhabitants, we forcibly took it from the people originally populating this land......breaking treaty after treaty we signed.
But then so many of them are as dumb as a box of rocks.....including the Abomination in the White House.
