President Donald Trump stated Saturday evening that communism is the greatest threat to the United States in its 250-year history. He also warned Democrats after socialist-identified candidates won primaries in New York, and called on ordinary Americans to vote in the upcoming midterm elections. Thirteen moderate Democratic lawmakers unveiled a new platform opposing "extremism from both sides."
President Donald Trump said Saturday evening that communism now poses the greatest threat the United States has faced since its founding 250 years ago. Speaking on the heels of primary victories by self-described socialist Democrats in New York, Trump warned that "all communists are faithless" and that communist regimes "violently attack religion." He called on ordinary Americans to vote in the upcoming congressional elections, which he described as decisive. Separately, 13 moderate Democratic House members announced a new platform they said offers an alternative to what they called "extremism from both sides." The remarks follow a string of recent Trump statements on domestic and international threats, including a warning earlier this week about a nuclear threat to Israel (as reported June 17). A prior Zioneer bulletin (June 26) noted Trump's post "The game begins" in which he said he had been preparing for a "communist move." The current speech is the most detailed public exposition of that theme to date.
