Organized by former National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien and former NSC Chief of Staff Alex Gray, the letter is a powerful statement on the current administration’s failures and why Trump is the leader needed to restore America’s security. The letter makes it clear that the world was a far safer place under Trump. “From a world at peace under President Trump, we are closer to a third world war than ever before under the Biden-Harris Administration,” the letter states.
