I don’t endorse him at all but wish for his rapid recovery. I find his brand of politics abhorrent but no one should be put in this danger.
Maybe the USA should look at its gun control laws…

So, we have gun control in the USA, yet someone attempted to shoot President Donal J Trump today, and apparently clipped his ear. That was way too close!

May Trump remain safe and recover quickly. 🙏🏼 And may all US Citizens remain safe, armed, well-trained, and Free 🇺🇸

I keep hearing about RAAC in public buildings. I wonder if it was used in residential buildings as well? Only a thought…

@EDI_Airport Poor arrival organisation again this evening. 15 minutes on busses after arriving from Paris. No explanation. Busses full and ready to go for 10 minutes and counting. Surely you can do better.
@EDI_Airport 1hr Queue at immigration.
2 hr wait and counting for luggage with no responsible staff in baggage hall.
