Trump's "enemies within" list

Donald Trump has been radically transparent in his pledge to use — and abuse — the power of the presidency to seek retribution against Americans he believes have wronged him.

Why it matters: The final weeks of the election have been consumed by Trump's bellicose vows to crush "the enemy from within" — language that critics, including some of his own former advisers, say is fascist.

The former president's vague, haphazard speaking style has triggered fierce debate over who specifically falls into that "enemies" group, especially after he floated using the U.S. military against "radical left lunatics."

He may not keep an official list, but a review of Trump's public remarks reveals a vast catalog of perceived enemies whom he has marked for imprisonment, prosecution or other punishment.
