I used her to remove Trump from my list, as my wife accused me of keeping him alive. ---

Don’t worry: you and him already live in different countries. > [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > I used her to remove Trump from my list, as my wife accused me of keeping him alive. I thought we kept people alive by putting them on our lists, not by removing them. I did not put trump on my list on purpose! That said, there are a couple of people in my own list (not all!) where I would not mind at all not being able to confer immortality. But the stakes are too high with trump, I will not dare that again. I had him in a previus year and see where that got me. ---
