  • Donald Trump criticized Democrats in a social media post, calling them "hard, godless communists."
  • He warned that communism, with its promises of free goods, would lead to a nation's collapse and widespread suffering.
  • Trump argued that Democrats are too weak to fight this ideology and are instead "social Democrats" who have become "hard, godless communists."

Former President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on Democrats, labeling them "hard, godless communists" in a social media post. He warned that the ideology, despite its promises of free housing, food, and rent, would inevitably lead to a nation's downfall within years, plunging citizens into poverty and ruin.

Communism is very easy to sell. I would be the Greatest Communist in History. I would give free rent, free houses, free food, everything is free. Unfortunately, after two or three years, the country where this happens will collapse. It always does, and then you start to live in misery. There will be no food, no housing, no military, nothing. You will be Third World in every way, and everyone will suffer or die.

Trump asserted that communism's appeal lies in its deceptive simplicity, stating, "Communism is very easy to sell." He claimed that proponents of this ideology exploit easy promises, which they have no intention of fulfilling. He further accused communists of employing violence against their opponents, describing them as "animals" whose actions are a significant part of their ideology.

the killings of those who oppose them are a very important part of their ideology

The former president directed his criticism at the Democratic Party, suggesting their politicians, whom he re-dubbed "Dumocrats," are too fearful of electoral consequences and political conflict to effectively combat the perceived communist threat. He argued that they lack the "smarts" and toughness to fight this "plague," contrasting their approach with how they allegedly target Republicans and himself. Trump declared that these are no longer "social Democrats" but have transformed into "hard, godless communists."

they are not smart enough nor tough enough to fight this plague

Trump also framed communism as the most serious threat to the United States since its founding. He expressed dismay that during the nation's 250th anniversary, Americans are allegedly forced to confront this danger instead of celebrating "Christ, freedom, and victories of all kinds." He warned that communists would target all religions, particularly Christianity, citing the violent suppression of religion in communist countries.

they are not social Democrats anymore, they are hard, godless communists
