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.”

    [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.]

        Yeah, you just usually don’t recognize it because when it’s out in public view it’s covered in a mound of orange clown makeup that’s been molded into the rough shape of a human head.

    The insider threat is never more apparent and ironic than when Trump is talking about it.

    He’s absolutely right. His enemies are right here in the US.

    We’re called- Americans. And we hate traitors.

        The biggest threat to the country is the power vacuum created by his policies of isolationism imo

    He’s getting bolder and bolder as the election gets closer.

    don’t be a sucker

    Apparently cut from the video:

    Remember when you hear that kind of talk, someone is going to get something out of it, and it isn’t going to be you

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