Who does Trump see as 'enemies from within'?
Donald Trump’s allies have tried in vain to persuade him to stop venting his rage against “enemies from within” in the campaign’s waning weeks
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Donald Trump's allies have tried in vain to persuade him to stop venting his rage against “enemies from within" in the campaign's waning days. But he keeps going.
In his rallies and interviews, the former president is increasingly fixated on the Americans he believes have wronged or betrayed him. They are worse, he says, than foreign adversaries of the United States. And he's made plain his desire to use the power of the federal government, including the military, to go after them.
“The crazy lunatics that we have — the fascists, the Marxists, the communists, the people that we have that are actually running the country,” Trump said this month at a rally in Wisconsin. “Those people are more dangerous — the enemy from within — than Russia and China and other people.”
When given the opportunity to hedge, he’s doubled down.
