In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump called Democrats and other opponents “the enemy from within,” describing them as more dangerous than major foreign adversaries like Russia and China. Specifically targeting Adam Schiff, a California representative, Trump labeled him an enemy within the country. He emphasized that a “smart president” could handle external threats easily, but internal threats posed by individuals like Schiff were more difficult to manage. Trump has previously referred to Schiff as “shifty Schiff” and has accused him of creating the Russia hoax. Schiff, who is currently leading in the California Senate race, has responded to Trump’s remarks by questioning the former president’s obsession with him. House Republicans have also criticized Schiff for his role in Trump’s first impeachment in 2019. Trump stated that any potential unrest surrounding the upcoming election would not be due to outside agitators, but rather “the enemy from within.” He suggested that any issues should be handled by the National Guard or, if necessary, the military. This statement comes in the context of concerns about potential election chaos, with Trump downplaying the likelihood of such events occurring. The interview also touched on Trump’s ongoing grievances and conflicts with political opponents, emphasizing his continued focus on those he perceives as enemies within the country.
