WASHINGTON: On Sunday, Donald Trump threatened "radical" leftists with military action if they interfere with next month's election. He called these Americans "the enemy within" and threatened to use force.
The Republican presidential contender said, "I think the bigger problem is the enemy within, not even the people that have come in and destroyed our country," alluding to inhabitants of the United States rather than the migrants he blames for overrunning the nation. This was spoken on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures program.
“We have some very bad people, we have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they’re the — and it should be very easily handled by, if required, the National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military,” Trump said. "Because they cannot allow that to occur."
In response to a query regarding his expectations for election day, the former president stated that, although he thought the vote would be free and fair, he was unsure of "whether it will be peaceful." President Joe Biden made this statement last week.
In his speech, Donald Trump asserted that Americans are "more dangerous than China, Russia, and all these countries." The vice presidential campaign of Kamala Harris quickly refuted the remarkable comments made by the Republican.
According to Ian Sams, a spokesman for Harris' team, "I know people have grown numb to Trump over the past decade, but this should be shocking" to Americans.
Sams stated, "Donald Trump is implying that his fellow citizens are more dangerous than foreign foes, and he is threatening to use the military against them.
In light of the Supreme Court's ruling to grant presidents immunity for their official acts as commander in chief and President Trump's declaration that he would establish a "dictator on day one" and permit the "termination" of the Constitution." Chilling stuff, he continued on X.
Battleground states
As recent polling indicates that the vice president is lagging among key typical Democratic voter groups, Kamala Harris and challenger Donald Trump campaigned in crucial battleground states on Sunday in an attempt to gain an eleventh-hour lead in a close fight for the presidency.
While in North Carolina, Harris was attempting to counter Trump's claims that government agencies had not gone far enough in aiding storm victims. Two weeks prior, a hurricane had devastated the state, killing over 235 people in the Southeast United States.
Her boss, President Joe Biden, was in Florida assessing the damage from more recent Hurricane Milton which raked across the southern state and highlighting the federal government’s commitment to rescue and recovery efforts.
The Republican former president Trump and his running partner, Senator J. D. Vance, are pushing the government disaster response right into the presidential contest with just 23 days till the election on November 5.
When asked if Trump has been correct to characterize the federal response as inept on the ABC Sunday chat show "This Week," Vance responded, "It's to suggest that Americans are feeling left behind by their government, which they are." Biden was briefed on storm response operations and given an aerial view of the destruction in Tampa Bay and the neighboring city of St. Petersburg.
Although he called the effects "cataclysmic" in many neighborhoods, Biden stated Florida was lucky that the situation was not worse. "At times like these, we unite to care for one another as Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans," the president remarked.
Trump was set to appear at his own rally in Arizona, where he will reinforce his border policies and amplify his aggressive — often false — rhetoric about migrants.
A day earlier he held a roundtable with Latino leaders in neighboring Nevada, another swing state with a substantial Hispanic population.
