Former US President Donald Trump has suggested using the National Guard and the country's military to confront what he calls the "enemy within" on Election Day. In an interview with Fox News, Trump expressed concern not about foreign agents or his own supporters, but what he called "radical left-wing lunatics" who pose a threat to the country's domestic security.

"My biggest concern is the people inside the country. We have some very bad people, sick people. These are radical left-wing lunatics. And that can easily be dealt with by the National Guard if needed, or the military if it gets really serious," - declared Trump.

These statements by the former president have caused a wave of discussions in American society, since the use of the army in elections is traditionally perceived as an emergency measure associated with serious violations of law and order. Trump has repeatedly criticized "left radicals" and accused them of undermining democratic processes in the United States, which has led to increased political polarization in the country.

He also noted that the situation could escalate and expressed confidence that law enforcement is capable of taking control of the situation. At the same time, Trump again mentioned the need to protect the elections and law and order from an "internal threat."

Trump has made similar statements before, amid concerns about election fraud and political unrest linked to protests. During his presidency, he has repeatedly emphasized the "enemy within," accusing left-wing politicians and activists of trying to destroy the traditional foundations of American democracy.

But Trump's critics say his rhetoric is aimed at fueling fear and mistrust among his supporters ahead of the election, which could further fuel tensions. Some experts also warn that the former president's calls for using the military could set a dangerous precedent and raise doubts about the legitimacy of the election process.
