Who is more dangerous to the American way of life: ISIS or Donald Trump?

The answer is obvious: Trump.

This is not some bit of clickbait. I realized anew during Thursday's press flagellation that Trump can wreak far more havoc on America, its vaunted institutions and its people than a terror group on the other side of the world.

First, the facts: Alex Nowrasteh's much-cited Cato Institute analysis of terror attacks on American soil between 1975 and 2015 reveals that an American has a 1 in 3.6 million chance every year of being murdered by a foreign-born terrorist. The rate of death for victims of ISIS is even lower.

In the age of Trump, John F. Kennedy's idealism shines bright

"The annual chance of being murdered by somebody other than a foreign-born terrorist was 252.9 times greater than the chance of dying in a terrorist attack committed by a foreign-born terrorist," Nowrasteh writes.

Nehru,

Trump maybe just the beginning. I think this country wants to put the brakes on immigration.  Too many people are coming in and the white folks in this country feel very threatened. 

I agree. The white race in America will be a minority in probably another decade.

Sadly our president seems more unhinged than the 30 something old who leads North Korea. Classic rant.

The man needs to divert attention from his taxes returns which might disclose his dealings with Russia. Remember, every time an unfavorable news item comes up about Trump, he diverts that with something else.
