TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

I’m feeling under the weather so Carrie & I have decided I should just stay home today rather than risk her 80 something parents catching what I’ve got. I’ll be ok-just gonna rest & relax. Carrie is staying with them for a week to help out. We FaceTime each evening when we’re apart. Love her!❤️❤️❤️

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.
