Former president Donald Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday that he is worried about the prospect of unspecified actions by what he dubbed “radical left lunatics” on Election Day, urging that the National Guard or U.S. military be deployed on American soil against those he labeled “the enemy from within.”
In the interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump whether he was “expecting chaos on Election Day,” then listed what she called “outside agitators,” such as people on the terrorist watch list or migrants who have committed crimes.
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,” Trump replied. “We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics.”
