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.”

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

IKEA’s too complex. Need crayons.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

He'd just eat them.

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

Trump prefers drinking bleach

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Clears the ol’ septum

[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.]

That flag clearly did not consent.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I haven't seen one of these in a veeeeery long time.

Are they even still used?

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.cafe 21 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He is also right in that biggest thread to the country is from inside

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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

[–] numbermess@kbin.social 21 points 8 months ago

It was always going to come to this. Donald Trump is all my dad's shitty email forwards come to life.

“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.

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

[–] PedroMaldonado@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Ho ho....whe I was mixed up with the born-agains back in the day( over it years ago), they spent a lot of time warning about False Prophets putting on a show to get a following and here we are with all these "good people" eating trumps bullshit up with a spoon...the hell is wrong with these people...smdh

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Hey National Religious Broadcast company, the call is coming from inside the Oompa-Loompa looking dipshit

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 11 points 8 months ago

I'm proud to identify as an enemy of Trump and his terrorists. ❤️

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Its us.

We're the enemies.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

🎶 And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love Yes they'll know we are Christians by our love 🎶

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

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

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

Trump has more and more enemies every day, he's right about that

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

I mean, he's not wrong.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

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.
