Vance Defends Trump's 'Enemy Within' Remarks

Former President Donald Trump's recent comments about an 'enemy from within' have sparked controversy, with his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, defending the statements as targeting 'radical-left lunatics' rather than all political rivals. Trump suggested the military might be needed on Election Day to maintain order, clarifying it was not a threat but a preventive measure against potential chaos. During interviews, Trump named Democratic figures like Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff as threats, claiming they are more dangerous than foreign adversaries like Russia or China. Vance echoed Trump's sentiment, attributing America's industrial decline to domestic leadership failures rather than external enemies. Critics have likened Trump's rhetoric to that of authoritarian leaders, but Vance argues it is a misunderstood stance on maintaining national security.
