Guilty as charged in the Trump article, although I don't confront people. I prefer not to discuss politics at all in real life, and I don't really want to know if any of my friends and acquaintances are Trump supporters.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the English language article; it was very interesting, and I learned some things, but some I heard before elsewhere.
Thanks for your faithful comments. I'm with you on your first paragraph.
