The Shadow President? (Ad)

President Trump has already launched a "shock and awe" flurry of new Executive Orders... He's withdrawn from the World Health Organization... exited the Paris climate accord... and begun dismantling many Federal programs... But there's ONE executive order that could go down in history as the most important of all.

It's likely just the start of a MUCH more radical move.
