Donald Trump has a longer enemies list than most terrorists and serial killers.

***From Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade:***
*The former president said he thinks U.S. troops should be deployed “if necessary” against “radical left lunatics” on election day.*
Donald Trump proposed deploying military forces against U.S. citizens who oppose him on election day.
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,” the former president told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo when she asked if he expects “chaos on election day” from immigrants. “We have some very bad people, some sick people, radical left lunatics…. And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.”
Throughout his campaign, Trump has laid out a dystopian vision for America where the military uses violence to detain and deport immigrants, suppress protests, and target criminals. He has used fascistic, violent language and recently repeated his vow to be a “dictator” for “one day” if elected.

He’s an enemy of the American people for wishing physical harm on us.

The question was about if foreign actors (China Russia) would cause issues on Election Day
Trump answered by saying that the enemy from within / people who don’t support Trump are a more dangerous threat and may need to be dealt with by the national guard or military 🙄

So I take it he ALSO agrees that the military should be deployed against far right lunatics as well right? Like.. he isn’t two faced and one sided.. right? He knows he is on the far right (along with Elon, and many others).. and they should ALL be handled by the military too.. right? OR .. is he just selling that far right is right right and far left is not right enough?

Probably the biggest downside to modern information technology is that media can be so tightly curated.
Employing this, the right wing figured out a propaganda loophole wherein they don’t need to control ALL the media, they just need to control enough.
That Trump supporters by and large do not get exposed to his radicalism is why he maintains the support he does. Tell any Trump supporter the things he has said and most will flatly deny.

Ahhh, Donny – you are no longer president or commander-in-chief, so you won’t be calling out the military this November. You don’t even have the authority to call out the Cub Scouts.
Objective_Oven7673 on
While I absolutely believe he would deploy the military against anyone he doesn’t like, this sounds to me like he’s at least aware of an increased risk of violence on election day, and is actively trying to set the stage that any violence must be left-wing and have nothing to do with his party or supporters.
Hell. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew about specific terror plots, or even helped plan and execute them.

Each day he says (or does) one more disqualifying thing. I just hope it means another bunch of votes against him in November.

There is a reason Republicans keep saying “the U.S. is not a democracy, it is a republic”. If you are going to try to take something away from people, the first step is to convince them that it wasn’t really there in the first place.
