(3,431 posts)I have heard about 10 - 12 already, and I am sure, that we are not told about many of them.
I would like to know why this one made the news. I would think that Reuters has enough other ones.
Unless there is a serious dereliction of duty, I believe our POTUS is safe.

(22,689 posts)We have no way of knowing what might push the already unstable haters over the edge. My heart would break into a billion pieces if anyone did anything to hurt My President.
This is one of my deepest fears.
Love, Peace and Shelter.
