The ex-president told the National Religious Broadcasters that ‘the greatest threat’ to the US is ‘people from within our country’
Donald Trump told a warmly receptive gathering of religious broadcasters on Thursday that “it’s the people from within our country that are more dangerous than the people outside”, in his latest effort to mobilize Christian fundamentalists who have swung dramatically behind him in recent years.
Trump’s speech in Nashville, Tennessee, to the National Religious Broadcasters presidential forum gala offered him a chance to pitch himself to hundreds of Christian media figures whose approval – and willingness to carry his message on air – could drive huge turnout in November.
“The greatest threat is not from the outside of our country – I really believe it is from within,” said Trump, whose fire-and-brimstone speech focused largely on his political enemies. “It’s the people from within our country that are more dangerous than the people outside.”

Interesting. I’m on Avelon, both work to cross out for me. I rarely use strike through, even had to look up the tildes thing for this because Apple doesn’t support it on their default keyboards. I’d prefer it display correctly on more devices when I do though. Better now?

He also didn't read the final chapter where the author ate cyanide along with a bullet.

Trump prefers drinking bleach

Nothing like a nice shot of bleach after staring directly at the sun, does wonders

[And the threat is much, much closer than people realize. If fact, many of them are right here in this room. The worst of them is speaking from this stage at this very moment.]

He’s absolutely right. His enemies are right here in the US.
We’re called- Americans. And we hate traitors.

He is also right in that biggest thread to the country is from inside
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 2y
The biggest threat to the country is the power vacuum created by his policies of isolationism imo

Indeed. Just like the Mafia sees the police as enemies...

We're the enemies.

Those "enemies within" are otherwise called "upright citizens". That he considers them enemies is just a consequence.

Grauniad, please asterisk any articles where you infer conscious, logical thought onto the bloated rapist.
You’re not selling him to people Who Don’t Know like last time, so just knock it the fuck off.

Does anyone actually want to vote for either of these two old cunts? Trump is extra super cunty and a total loser. Putin is smart, Xi idk but he seems kinda dumb... they'd both have Donny on his knees sucking in a second and they'd be laughing. Plus they'd probably just bribe the guy because he's a senile 77 year old moron with NPD and I hear he's strapped for cash.
