    RT Panel - Malcolm Nance book release event at The Linda
    Joe Donahue
    Malcolm Nance’s new book is “They Want To Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency.” "They Want to Kill Americans" is the first detailed look into the heart of (what he calls) the active Trump-led insurgency, setting the stage for a second nation-wide rebellion on American soil. This is a chilling early warning to the nation from a counterterrorism intelligence professional: America is primed for a possible explosive wave of terrorist attacks and armed confrontations that aim to bring about a Donald Trump led dictatorship.
