In the US, Terror Is Increasingly Coming From Inside the Country-Opinion
In an opinion piece, Senior Fellow at RSIS Raffaello Pantucci wrote that US President Donald Trump has consistently baited the extreme right wing during his presidency. From retweeting extreme right material to refusing to condemn groups during presidential debates, the concern is that by election time he will have unleashed a wave of uncontrollable anger that will result in mass civil unrest. This is unlikely, but it is equally likely that no matter the outcome of the election, violence of some sort will follow. The stage has been set for the continuation of a persistent problem in America that will continue to cloud and confuse the political debate and sadly result in domestic terrorism. The problem predates Mr Trump and speaks to something deep in some parts of the American psyche.
