Trump Sounds the Alarm: Is America Really Turning Communist?
President Donald Trump on Friday took to his social media platform to warn Americans about a rising threat that is not coming from a source overseas but instead from within the country.And he noted that, if Americans don’t do enough to oppose it, the country could be changed forever, and not in a good way.“The Radical Left Lunatics, often referred to as Dumocrats, have lost control of their Party,” Trump’s Truth Social post began.“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!” he added.“I would often say in Speeches, and otherwise, America will never be a Socialist Country, and I was 100% correct, the Dumocrats skipped Socialism, and went all the way down to Communism,” he continued.Advertisement
“AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY!” he wrote in another post.In yet another post, Trump described the Democrat Party as a “sinking ship.”Trump was referring to the rise of so-called “Democratic Socialists,” who have been winning primary elections by defeating Democrat incumbents this primary season.Other Republican leaders are sounding the alarm as well.In an interview with “Fox News Sunday” last week, House Speaker Mike Johnson (La.) called the rising tide of “democratic socialists” on the left “a serious threat to our whole system of government.”“Since [Zohran] Mamdani got elected in New York, I’ve been out on the campaign trail country wide, across coast to coast, every swing district, the blue states, red states, saying the same thing,” Johnson told anchor Shannon Bream.“There are many Mamdanis popping up, running for Congress around the country, and you better be very serious about this. This is a serious threat to our whole system of government,” he said.The Louisiana Republican also identified exactly what the so-called “democratic socialists” really are.“It’s communism, socialism. Those are deviations of Marxism,” he explained.“It begins with the opposite premise of America, and it is a serious threat to us,” he continued.“These people want — they’re saying it out loud. They want to abolish all borders. They want to abolish all prisons. They want to defund the police. They want to abolish the U.S. Senate,” he added.“They want to pack the Supreme Court. They want the government to take over control of all production,” he said.“This is communism, and it has led to the murder of innocent people, tens of millions of them in the 20th century alone,” the Speaker continued.“We have to fight this. We’re no longer just in an election cycle,” he said.“We were saying it was common sense versus crazy. Now it’s common sense versus communism. And everybody needs to wake up,” Johnson noted.Vice President JD Vance, meanwhile, traveled to Mamdani’s New York City over the Fourth of July weekend and gave an Independence Day speech that was worthy of praise.His speech followed one on Friday from Mamdani, and the contrast couldn’t be more stark.While Mamdani used the occasion – sitting behind George Washington’s desk – to trash the country that took him in and has given him so much, Vance’s speech focused on all the good that America has done for its citizens and for the world.“We celebrate 250 years of America facing the future without fear. We celebrate 250 years of proving what a free people can achieve by the providence of our almighty Creator,” he said.Vance went on to urge the country to unite on America’s 250th birthday and remember exactly why and how it was founded.“We are a people formed by generations of self-governance and personal industry. We are formed by Frontier Assembly Hall and Congregation, by River Valley and Prairie and Factory Floor,” Vance shared.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
