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.

Bessent Ignores Horrific Approval Ratings, Still Clings To 'Prosperity Is Coming'

When presented with the newest Fox News poll showing almost 70 of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once again clung to his repeated false claims that property is coming. Since March of 2025, Bessent claimed the Trump administration was focused on the 'real economy' and not concerned about 'a little' market volatility. Since then, he has repeatedly told Americans to hold on to their hats because prosperity is right around the corner. We are still waiting. Fox News posted a graphic from its newest poll showing how disillusioned Americans were with Bessent and Trump's handling of the economy. It's in line with every other credible poll. Basically, you're saying prosperity is coming, even if you don't feel it right this second, Bret Baier asked. Well, there are two messages, Bessent replied. Prosperity is coming. The underlying economy is very strong. But the other point in my speech was prosperity and security are linked. Americans haven't felt that the economy is strong since Trump imposed illegal tariffs on our trade partners, which caused massive inflation and upended the strong US economy he inherited from President Biden. read more

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.”

"Criminal Approach to Politics": Trump Ally Abelardo de la Espriella Wins Colombian Presidency

Right-wing Trump ally Abelardo de la Espriella has clinched a narrow victory in Sunday’s runoff presidential election in Colombia, defeating leftist Senator Iván Cepeda, an ally of current President Gustavo Petro. De la Espriella ran a fearmongering, “tough-on-crime” campaign, promising to build mega-prisons inspired by El Salvador’s authoritarian President Nayib Bukele, to bomb “narcoterrorist camps” and to abandon Petro’s peace efforts. His reported victory is also a win for U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration is waging an intensifying “war on drugs” across Latin America, targeting left-wing leaders like Petro with false allegations and threats of military intervention. “De la Espriella clearly represents a criminal approach to politics: lying, propaganda, coordination and collusion with criminal narcotrafficking, restriction of rights, and money laundering,” says longtime Colombian activist Manuel Rozental. With his victory, says Rozental, “We expect to have military operations and a U.S. intervention within the country. We expect to have human rights abuses. We expect to have militarization. And it’s all for the extraction of resources and the link of drug trafficking to the U.S. government, U.S. interests and global mafia.”
