‘I think the bigger problem are the people from within, we have some very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics,’ Republican candidate tells Fox’s Maria Bartiromo

“And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military,” he said.

“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people who have come in, who are destroying our country.”

It isn’t clear under what circumstances Trump would view it justifiable to call in US troops against his own countrymen.

But his comments mark a baseless attack and a particularly hollow one coming from someone whose supporters violently attacked the US Capitol in an attempt to stop him from being thrown out of office three years ago.

    accusing people of supporting genocide

    They say just as it’s announced that the US is sending troops to Israel.

    Also, I find you trying to minimize genocide down to something akin to legalizing weed and mocking the OP as a “single issue voter” to be quite abhorrent. If Harris loses the election, it’s going to be in part to disgusting viewpoints such as yours.

        Yeah, don’t let tens of thousands of innocent men, women, and children being blown to bits with our bombs and our tax dollars disturb you from your peace and quiet because that’s what matters most of all.

          Yeah. Be sure to use the deaths of innocent people as an excuse to disrupt an election that’s happening with or without your input.
