Trump will save us from ISIS

President Donald Trump is alert to border security. ISIS is not stupid; it sees a large chance to slip in its people by posing as refugees —time-bombs to go off later.

I see ISIS and its ilk playing the role of the modern-day Adolph Hitler. In the role of “Neville Chamberlain” are President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the young female socialist who scored a primary win over a key Democratic congressman. In the Churchill spot is President Trump.

I will grant that President Trump is imperfectly in the Churchill locale; he is definitely there. He is clear-eyed to threats we face and will rebuild our military after Obama gutted our armed forces.
