Trump throws tantrum over ‘loud and unattractive people’ in latest rant against communism
In his latest attack on communism, President Donald Trump lashed out Saturday at “loud and unattractive people” who he said were allowing the Democratic Party to be steered toward the left.“The Radical Left Lunatics, often referred to as Dumocrats, have lost control of their Party,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “They are being led by loud and unattractive people who have totally lost their way. Hopefully, they will fight back, and not let this sick, Communist ideology, take over America!”Trump has increasingly referenced communism in recent weeks following a string of electoral victories in Democratic primary elections by self-proclaimed democratic socialists. Critics have accused Trump of focusing on communism as a tool to distract Americans from his administration’s failures to adequately address the issue of affordability.

Trump Misquotes Declaration Of Independence During Speech At National Mall
As always, just imagine what the reaction in the right-wing media would be if Joe Biden had done something like this. Trump delivered a venom-filled speech this Saturday for America's 250th anniversary: President Donald Trump marked the 250th anniversary of the United States on Saturday with a campaign-style speech that repeated his calls for new voting restrictions, warned that communists could gain ground in the country and cycled through what he touted as his achievements. After a storm-related delay of nearly two hours, Trump appeared on the National Mall in Washington to deliver a speech that mixed broad appeals to patriotism with pointed attacks on perceived ideological threats at home and abroad. [...] TRUMP WARNS OF COMMUNIST 'CANCER,' WHITE NATIONALISTS APPEAR We like to stop a threat like that immediately and before it begins. It's like a cancer – you've got to cut it out and you got to cut it out fast, he said. The Republican president has in the past repeatedly referred to left-wing Democratic candidates who have won a string of primary elections as communists, though he did not explicitly do so on Saturday.

Trump warns of rising communist threat after socialist primary wins in New York
Fox News contributor Paul Mauro reacts to US President Donald Trump’s warning of a rising communist threat following major socialist primary wins in New York. “The idea that communism would not only return in some form here domestically but be so attractive to young people who really don’t seem to understand the history of it is really disconcerting,” Mr Mauro told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “This distinction that’s often drawn between the Democratic socialists and communists is an artificial one. If you listen to what they’re saying, they are communists. “I do think he [Donald Trump] is right to call attention to it … because at the end of the day, history shows it just doesn’t work.”
