Maria Bartiromo of Fox News asked former President Donald Trump on Sunday whether he thought the November election would be peaceful. Bartiromo was specifically referring to “outside agitators,” such as terrorists on the watch list or migrants who Trump keeps falsely insisting are driving up the country’s crime rates.

Trump could have said he hoped the election would be peaceful. He could have used that moment in the interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” to call for peace no matter the outcome. He could have even said he has no idea what far-left protesters might do if he wins or what his MAGA base would do if he loses. Instead, Trump chose to express a fascistic desire to use the military against his dissenters, or as he termed them, the “radical left lunatics.”
