Former president Donald Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday that he is worried about the prospect of unspecified actions by what he dubbed \u201cradical left lunatics\u201d on Election Day, urging that the National Guard or U.S. military be deployed on American soil against those he labeled \u201cthe enemy from within.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interview on Fox News\u2019s \u201cSunday Morning Futures,\u201d host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump whether he was \u201cexpecting chaos on Election Day,\u201d then listed what she called \u201coutside agitators,\u201d such as people on the terrorist watch list or migrants who have committed crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,\u201d Trump replied. \u201cWe have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump added: \u201cIt should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can\u2019t let that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked for additional clarification about what Trump meant in his interview, campaign spokesman Steven Cheung equated the prospect of unspecified efforts by the left during the elections with the recent arrest of an Afghan man<\/a> in Oklahoma, who is accused of plotting an Election Day attack in the United States in the name of the Islamic State group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Trump is 100% correct \u2014 those who seek to undermine democracy by sowing chaos in our elections are a direct threat, just like the terrorist from Afghanistan that was arrested for plotting multiple attacks on Election Day within the United States,\u201d Cheung said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cenemy from within,\u201d Trump argued in a later part of the interview with Bartiromo, \u201cis more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries.\u201d He added that some politicians fell into that category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe thing that\u2019s tougher to handle are these lunatics that we have inside, like Adam Schiff,\u201d the former president added, referring to the California Democrat running for Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schiff, a member of the House, was the lead prosecutor in Trump\u2019s first impeachment trial and served as the top-ranking Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence throughout Trump\u2019s term in office. For years, the congressman has been a frequent target of Trump\u2019s attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI call him the enemy from within,\u201d Trump said of Schiff, repeating a term he used against the congressman on Saturday evening during a rally in Coachella, Calif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the speech \u2014 in a state Trump is almost certain to lose \u2014 the former president repeated falsehoods about migrants and sought to portray the country in apocalyptic terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the elections on Nov. 5<\/a> as \u201cliberation day,\u201d comparing the United States to an \u201coccupied country.\u201d He also suggested that a heckler would later get \u201cthe hell knocked out of her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Harris campaign senior spokesman Ian Sams said Trump \u201cis suggesting that his fellow Americans are worse \u2018enemies\u2019 than foreign adversaries, and he is saying he would use the military against them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTaken with his vow to be a dictator on \u2018day one,\u2019 calls for the \u2018termination\u2019 of the Constitution, and plans to surround himself with sycophants who will give him unchecked, unprecedented power if he returns to office, this should alarm every American who cares about their freedom and security,\u201d Sams added. \u201cWhat Donald Trump is promising is dangerous, and returning him to office is simply a risk Americans cannot afford.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s use of the military on American soil was tested to its limits during his presidency, with Trump pushing <\/a>to deploy military personnel amid the 2020 protests after the killing of George Floyd. He also sent <\/a>National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a potential second term, Trump and his allies are seeking to militarize immigration enforcement<\/a>, with the candidate saying on the trail that, as president, he would immediately launch \u201cthe largest domestic deportation operation in American history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The model for the operation points to an Eisenhower-era program that used military tactics to round up and deport migrants. The program transported them in dangerous conditions that led to some deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
