“also named Biden and Haley as possible targets.”

Why Biden? His weak a## was the best thing for the jihadis. His incompetence lead to this mess, which President Trump is working on fixing.

OK Barak may have been better for the islamoscum than Biden. That is an issue of stupid vs intent.

Then well President Trump. He has no fear. What they are going to try to kill Him again? That is just another Tuesday for President Trump. And President Trump is simply taking care of business and GO AMERICA FIRST.

Meanwhile the Demscum are crying tears over yet another Ayatollah piece of shit being blown up.
