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.”

    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

    “They want to tear down crosses where they can, and cover them up with social justice flags. But no one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration, I swear to you.”

    If the cross is burning, I’m good with tearing them down.

    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.
