“The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous and grave than the threat from within,” said Trump, who was impeached, for a second time, for inciting the deadly January 6 attack on Congress in an attempt to stay in power.

So, not Putin, or North Korea. The biggest threat is people like me. Democrats, or anyone who doesn’t like him, and doesn’t vote for him. Anyone that he doesn’t appreciate, and that’s a lot of people.

Trump has also said he would if re-elected consider suspending the US constitution in order to achieve his aims.

Bates said: “Suspending the constitution would gut the protection of freedom that defines our country, and for which so many brave service members sacrificed everything. That abuse of power would put the rights of all Americans in unprecedented danger.”

He repeated the phrasing at a rally in New Hampshire later Saturday, referring to “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country” and declaring “the real threat is not from the radical right, the real threat is from the radical left.”

The former president’s incendiary rhetoric invokes a term frequently used by Nazis to dehumanize Jews, including a 1939 quote attributed to Hitler: “This vermin must be destroyed. The Jews are our sworn enemies,” he told the Czech foreign minister, according to historical accounts.
