[Magdalen] Paris Accord /Fwd: I belong

[Ann Markle]

When I heard the snippet in English from Macron's speech, I said out loud
to the TV:  "We're trapped over here!  Help us!"  I loved it.  Make our
planet great again!  It actually gave me hope that the world can see the US
beyond the 3-ring circus, clown show that is this presidency, and we can
all hope together that the nation survives the next 3+ years....
