He is irresponsibly, the cause of polarization between different interest groups in the United States.  Donald John Trump is setting the Middle East ablaze and the Middle East will be the epicenter of impending global conflagration which history will label as World War III. Trump, the 45th president of the United States of America, has taken every incremental step to make my prediction a reality in short order.
