Former President Donald Trump suggested using the military to handle what he called “the enemy from within” on Election Day, saying that he isn’t worried about chaos from his supporters or foreign actors, but instead from “radical left lunatics.”

“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.

    “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
