Who's making unproven claims of a security breach involving illegal wiretapping during his campaign? Who believes immigrants seeking refuge in this country must be denied entry to prevent acts of terrorism despite the fact U.S. terrorists have been home grown? Who is vehemently determined to eradicate this nation's cultural diversity - the basis upon which this great land was founded? Who is at the center of this current administration's state of chaos, and who is feeling its ripple? Whose buddy, chief strategist Bannon, is determined to tear down our current form of government and replace it with a New World Order? Who threatened to send in the feds if Chicago doesn't straighten out?

My God, America's biggest terror threat is already here right in the White House!
