Are Trump supporters cowards? [View all]

Experts calculate that the chances of being killed by a refugee turned terrorist is 3.6 Billion to one. Your chances of being struck by lightning in any given year is 1 in 960,000. So we should be 3,750 times more concerned about being concerned about being struck by lighting than being killed by a refugee.

Conclusion, if refugees scare you so much that you would support not allowing them to come to into the US, you are a real coward.
