																	| "Seagal and Morrissey’s 
																	book is 
																	intended as 
																	a startling 
																	warning of 
																	the horrible 
																	danger our 
																	nation is 
																	under, but 
																	it closes on 
																	a hopeful 
																	note with 
																	the election 
																	of Donald 
																	Trump—who 
																	is not 
																	mentioned by 
																	name, but is 
																	depicted as 
																	a white 
																	knight 
																	(emphasis on 
																	white) on a 
																	steed saving 
																	Western 
																	civilization 
																	from the 
																	evil Muslim 
																	hordes that 
																	would 
																	destroy it." |
