Former President Donald Trump was interviewed on Fox Business and referred to Democrats and others who opposed or investigated him as “the enemy from within,” more dangerous than major foreign adversaries. He specifically mentioned Adam Schiff, calling him a “lunatic” and the “enemy from within.” Trump stated that a “smart president” could handle outside adversaries easily, but those within the country were tougher to handle. He labeled Vice President Kamala Harris and Schiff as criminals and criticized Schiff’s involvement in the Russia hoax accusations. Schiff responded on Twitter, questioning Trump’s obsession with him. The adversarial relationship between Trump and Schiff dates back to the congressman’s role in Trump’s first impeachment trial. House Republicans have also joined in criticizing Schiff, censuring him in 2023 for allegedly misrepresenting Robert Mueller’s investigation. Trump criticized Schiff for creating a phony Russia investigation that was used as an excuse for Hillary Clinton’s election loss. The tensions between Trump, Schiff, and House Republicans have intensified during the current political climate, with Trump continuing to target and criticize his adversaries.
