In yet another blatant display of desperation, the left is at it again, distorting Trump’s words to fit their narrative. This time, it’s Joe Scarborough on Bill Maher, with billionaire Kamala Harris cheerleader Mark Cuban nodding along. Let’s break down their shameless twisting of facts and clear the air about what was actually said.
Scarborough, taking a page straight from the liberal playbook, features a clip of Trump talking about using the military to address the “Enemy from Within.” He and the left want you to believe that Trump’s statement was a threat to jail political opponents. Yes, you heard that right. The left is now painting Trump as a dictator who plans to imprison anyone who dares to oppose him. This is insanity at its finest. It’s not only deceitful, but it’s also a slap in the face to every American who understands how our government works.
JD Vance Sets the Record Straight
Here’s where JD Vance steps in, brilliantly cutting through the nonsense. At a recent campaign event in Pittsburgh, Vance emphasized that Trump’s focus is on restoring law and order—not on some dystopian fantasy of jailing political opponents. Vance made it clear that when Trump talks about using the military to address the “Enemy from Within,” he’s specifically referring to those who engage in violent riots and destruction of American cities. Let’s be clear: this isn’t about stifling peaceful dissent. It’s about dealing with those who cross the line from protest to violence.
Vance underscored the fact that peaceful protesting is a fundamental American right, protected under the First Amendment. However, when protest turns into rioting, looting, and burning down businesses, it’s no longer an exercise of constitutional rights—it’s a criminal act. As Vance put it, Trump’s plan is to ensure that law and order are upheld by stopping rioters in their tracks, not by jailing political enemies. In other words, if people are destroying property, inciting violence, or threatening public safety, they need to be held accountable, and Trump will ensure that happens—period.
This aligns with Trump’s message of protecting everyday Americans and their communities from the chaos that has plagued cities under weak leadership. Vance also pointed out that during the 2020 riots, over $1 billion worth of damage was inflicted across the country, and dozens of lives were lost. This kind of lawlessness is what Trump intends to end—not the right to protest peacefully. It’s about restoring safety and security, which has been sorely lacking in recent years.
So, the reality is that Trump’s “Enemy from Within” comment is about putting a stop to violence, not targeting political opponents. This is what Vance called a message of returning prosperity and safety to everyday Americans, not one of using the military against citizens.
The Constitution Still Matters
Scarborough’s narrative is not only deceptive but also condescending. The left seems to think the American people are too stupid to understand that no president has the unilateral power to jail his political enemies. We have a Constitution. We have checks and balances. Congress exists for a reason. For Scarborough and his cronies to suggest otherwise is just another example of how they underestimate the intelligence of the American people. What a slap in the face to voters! They seriously think we’re dumb enough to fall for this blatant lie? What a load of garbage!
The Left’s Weaponization of Soundbites
This tactic from the left is nothing new. They’ve been taking Trump’s words out of context for years, hoping that a deceptive soundbite can shape public perception. It’s not about facts for them; it’s about maintaining their power by any means necessary. The left’s obsession with painting Trump as some kind of dictator-in-waiting is both absurd and hypocritical, given their own calls for government overreach under a Kamala Harris administration.
Final Thoughts
The left’s willingness to twist Trump’s words into something they’re not is a sign of desperation. Their strategy is clear: manipulate the narrative to maintain power, even if it means misleading the American people. But Americans aren’t as gullible as the left thinks. We see through the lies, and we’re not buying what they’re selling.

But if there are any exceptions….
Saul Alinsky’s book “Rules For Radicals” list includes “Blame them for doing what you are actually doing.” Therefore, the Democrats blame Trump for weaponizing the DOJ and FBI, when in reality Biden and crew have actually used the DOJ and FBI against Jan 6ers, Trump, Roger Stone, And several Trump advisors. So to follow Alinsky’s rule Morning Idiot Joe is blaming Trump for preparing to do what Biden is actually doing.
IF MORE PEOPLE WOULD READ ALINSKY’S BOOK…… OR EVEN THE SMALL PAMPHLET OBAMA WROTE PLAGIARIZING ALINSKY. “RULES FOR REVOLUTION”. UNDER $4 ON AMAZON BOOKS………….. THEY WOULD SEE EXACTLY ALL OF THE DISGUSTING ACTIONS THE LEFT HAS TAKEN TO PUT TRUMP IN SUCH A BAD LIGHT FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE MEDIA SAYS…AND DON’T RESEARCH THEMSELVES…….
ONE OF THE FIRST ONES RIGHT OFF IS “INDOCTRINATE THE CHILDREN”. AND BINGO…. AND ” GO IN SHEEPS CLOTHING AND BECOME AS THEY ARE UNTIL YOU ARE IN AND THEN DO YOUR THING”
SORT OF LIKE THE Trojan horse SITUATION…..
PROPLE NEED TO WAKE UP…..
I’m so tired of the Obama’s, the Biden’s, the Clinton’s, and the rest of the Democrat slugs who seem to sit around and scheme as they have done forever. You guys sit around thinking of ways to screw over Americans? Just go away…
I totally agree they just need to be gone forever.
Add to that, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, THE NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST…All those Democrat platforms. Screw the bunch of you
The clowns (seditionists) in the MSM have been hiding behind “Freedom of the Press” for far too long. He needs to hold them criminally accountable for all the lies they spread about him, and start locking the seditionists in the MSM in prison!
I feel he should for the abuse hes undergone these years, some
Scarborough,, Cuban and Maher think the American people are stupid. President Trump never said he would hunt down and jail his political opponents… all he has called is for a return to law and order after what happened in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York etc. where no one was held accountable for the killings,, burning down, looting and vandalism carried out by the radical left like BLM.. Scarborough is a complete idiot, he makes things up to suit his crazy interpretation of actual events. Cuban is a nut job that can only try to get his points across with muttering and using swear words to cover up his ignorance of politics and how this country is run. We have a constitution, checks and balances, a supreme court and and legislators to carry out the laws of this great land…GIVE ME A BREAK…These 3 idiots should all be fired for how they try to cause mayhem with totally false claims.
AMEN…AND AMEN!!!!
So they are saying Trump will do what they’ve tried to do to him for the last 8 years. I’ve heard the left say “we’re gonna get him!” and “lock him up!” until I’m ready to puke. Yet they still try to play the victim card.
Joe was our Representative years ago and he is nothing but a lying piece of scum. Married three times with four children two by each of is first two wives and now he is married to a liberal hack. They deserve each other because they are both lying political hacks. I remember seeing Joe at the theater at Cordova Mall when he was our Representative and was married to his second wife out in the lobby of the theater flirting with apparent High School sweethearts. Don’t listen to a thing this nut says.
I have a visceral distaste for Joe Scarbourough and his stepford wife sidekick. They both lie through their rotting teeth. They aren’t stupid, they may look stupid, but their not. They know that what they are saying is a lie, but they make the decision to lie anyway. As far as Cuban, he’s a political retard. How he became a billionaire is beyond me.
Democrats imprison their rivals. Why then are j6 protestors in jail.
I think most Americans see right thru the made up lies and allegations. Trump 2024!
lets hope so Russ
First, that should be mourning Joe because he’s always whining but it may well be done by we the people.
Joe is a typical liberal. His head is so far up his ass there is no hope of removing it. Predicting Trump might do exactly what democrats are and have been doing. Idiots like Joe are so predictable. He could use some fresh air and a look around the real world.
Joe is NUTS! Even though Trump’s enemies should be tried and convicted for the misuse of the justice system against him I doubt that will come to be. However, Joe and his liberal compainions should be concerned that they will be held accountable for their lies and libelous claims against him.
How many of his political opponents did Trump lock up during his first term…..Hmmm? Trump has suffered political persecution never before seen in the history of America. The Commie Democrats have committed treason and violations of the U.S. Constitution against Trump and his supporters that have never occurred in America’s history. Their violations of Constitutional protections against American citizens should not go unpunished. This isn’t about retribution, revenge or payback — it is holding those in government accountable for violating basic Constitutional Rights of American citizens.
