Trump declared that American citizens (most likely those who don't agree with him and his policies and who exerciser their right to protest his government) "the enemy within," and added that they are harder to "take out" because they don't wear uniforms.
Trump is speaking about Americans in American cities.
What do you think the phrase "take out" means?
I wasn't sure the word "treason" was appropriate in the meme below, but the definition says this:
"In the U.S., treason is defined in the Constitution as levying war against the United States."
Threatening to "take out" (which means, in a threat, to kill, destroy, or incapacitate a person) American citizens, for whatever reasons Trump decides on, is levying war against his own citizens, i.e., the United States. So, it would appear that "treason" is an appropriate word there.
We've never heard such mortal threats against U.S. citizens, from their own president. Ever!
Our fellow Americans are NOT the "enemy within." Only a deranged tyrant would say such a thing.
