The Independent - Trump floats sending military after US citizens on election day calling them ‘the enemy from within’
‘I think the bigger problem are the people from within, we have some very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics,’ Trump chillingly told Fox News Maria Bartiromo

Donald Trump has chillingly suggested sending the military or National Guard after US citizens on Election Day.
The ex-president gave a sit-down interview with Maria Bartiromo, one of the Fox News hosts whose role in pushing Trump’s lies about the 2020 election landed her bosses in the crosshairs of a billion-dollar lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems. It was later settled to the tune of $787m.
In the interview, which aired on Sunday, Bartiromo was back on typical form, suggesting that America was headed for possible violence on Election Day due to scores of immigrants supposedly being let in illegally by the Biden administration. That was a debunked conspiracy the Trump team floated in both 2016 and 2020 — the lie that millions of votes for his opponents came from noncitizens.
But Trump took things a step further, denying Bartiromo’s suggestion that those groups would be the “real” problem on Election Day.
That honor, he said, went to the so-called “enemy within.”
