Former President Donald Trump referred to Democrats and individuals who opposed or investigated him as “the enemy from within”, describing them as more dangerous than foreign adversaries like Russia and China. In a Fox News interview, Trump specifically singled out Rep. Adam Schiff, calling him a “lunatic” and the “enemy from within”. He also accused Schiff of conceiving the Russia hoax and being obsessed with him.
Trump has labeled those opposed to him, including Vice President Kamala Harris, as criminals and critics of his policies as illegal. He has a history of animosity towards Schiff, who was one of the impeachment managers in Trump’s first impeachment trial. House Republicans censured Schiff in 2023 for allegedly misrepresenting the Mueller investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia.
Trump stated that any potential election chaos would not come from his supporters, but rather from the “enemy from within” – radical left lunatics. He suggested that any issues could be handled by the National Guard or military if necessary. Trump’s comments echo his rally remarks where he called Schiff the “enemy from within” and accused him of putting the country in danger.
Overall, Trump’s remarks highlight his ongoing feud with Schiff and his belief that internal adversaries pose a greater threat to the country than external ones. He remains focused on confronting those who oppose him, particularly as the 2024 presidential race approaches its final weeks.
