Trump suggests using military against ‘enemy from within’ on Election Day | CNN Politics

www.cnn.com

“I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people. Radical left lunatics,” Trump said told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen,” he added.

As a convicted felon and stochastic terrorist, the old rapist should be sitting in a cell awaiting sentencing.
- It's so maddening to me that part of Biden's pitch four years ago was how electing him would mean a blow against fascism.
  Yet here we are.
  
  Trump not remaining in office is indeed a blow against fascism.
  
  It staved off fascism for 4 years.
Not sure how he could command the military out of office, he seems delusional enough to think this is possible... either way the intent is scary enough.
I hope everyone on the sane side of things are preparing for this kind of crap
My brother in Darwin, You are the enemy within.
- You still use that word? How embarrassing for you.
  
  Hey friend, on this instance we avoid the use of that term. Cheers!
  
  i have no idea what about this comment is objectionable to you, but whatever it is this is most certainly not the way to object to it.
Democrats really need to tone down the rhetoric. It makes people think Trump wants violence and to end democracy
(this was sarcasm brought to you by right wing media and Vance parroting this talking point, then dumbfuck rest of media picking it up as news)
- How can you blame Democrats for Trump's words?
  
  Either a very poor attempt to avoid Poe's law, or they're truly lost on how words work.
- Have you not heard Trump? He is literally keeps saying he wants violence and to end democracy. If anything Harris should be ramping it up, why would they not say hea a threat to democracy when he literally wants to be a dictator and arrest his opponents etc.
  Also Trump and Vance have intensified the violence and extreme language against the democrats - claiming the same things that are supposedly endangering the GOP so its ridiculous to claim the democrats are at fault here.
  edit: I missed that OP was being sarcastic since there many pundits actually saying this shit
  
  I'm pretty sure Boss is being sarcastic.
"They" obviously plan to disrupt the election. "The enemy within" needs to be stopped by force, and we need to ensure that a peaceful transition of power isn't stopped by "them."*
don't ask me who "they" are - nobody I asked could give a solid answer
So he's saying out loud that he wants to stage a military coup?
