“These are not social Democrats, these are hardcore, godless communists.”
Speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual Road to Majority Conference on Friday, President Trump warned about the threat of communism in the United States, coming as socialist candidates have been making gains in primary races nationwide.
Noting the recent wins of socialist candidates in New York City’s Democrat primaries, Trump said, "as you saw with the communists elected in New York City recently, they’re communists, they’re not social Democrats, they want to completely destroy the traditional American way of life."

He said that "communism is very easy to sell," but "destroys everything." He joked that "I’d be the greatest communist in history. Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, you don’t have to pay any rent. From now on, anybody wants a house, don’t worry about it, just pick the house you want. Everybody gets free food. Everything is free from this point forward. Everyone’s gonna vote for me."
"The problem is, after two or three years, the country is a disaster area. The country fails. They always do it. Always so easy to sell that first year." He said this is what is occurring in New York, as well as California.
"But you’ll start living in squalor. You’ll live in squalor. There will be no food, there’ll be no housing, there’ll be no military, there’ll be no law and order, there’ll be no nothing. You’ll be a third-world inhabitant in every way, and everyone will suffer or die."
He noted the violence that goes hand in hand with such far-left ideologies. "I’m sorry to say, but assassinations of those who oppose them is a very important element of their ideology. Assassination is a big deal for them. They’re animals, they’re animals. In many cases, they’re not smart, but in some cases they are. It’s very easy for them to get followers because they make promises they know they can’t keep."
He said that Democrats "aren’t fighting back" against this issue because they are "afraid." He added, "The Democrat party is in big trouble, because this isn’t stopping with New York." Trump said of the Democrat party, "In many ways, they're allowing them to just go their own way, do your own, we don't want to take a chance on saying anything bad, because we're afraid we're going to lose our jobs if we do. They're afraid they're going to lose their election if they even think about saying anything bad about this new breed of sick people.
"They're not smart enough or tough enough to fight the plague that's happening. It's happening right before your very eyes. If they fought them the way they fight Republicans or the way they fight me, they'd be victorious. They didn't beat us, but they'd be victorious against the communists, but they don't have the courage to do so, so they're turning communists themselves, becoming a communist party. These are not social Democrats, these are hardcore, godless communists."
He said this is the "most serious threat to our country since its existence," adding in the context of the religious conference, "These ruthless communists will attack all religions, but in particular, Christianity, they always do."
Trump also noted the example of the Rent Guidelines Board in NYC freezing rent for the next two years, saying that despite rising costs for landlords, there would be no increase in rent payments for them. "They're basically confiscating their property," he said. Trump said that what Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani "doesn't say is that these buildings will soon turn into ghettos and slums, and that everybody will continue leaving New York. And as this spreads throughout the country, very much like an uncontrollable form of cancer, the country itself will be taken down."
He said that the communists need to be exposed, saying, “You have to say they're gonna get free rent. But in two years, everything is going to collapse, and you're gonna live in squalor. When you say that, you can beat the free rent. You can beat the fact that they're gonna take your house away and give it to somebody else, which is essentially what they'd like to do, but it's happened so many times over the years with really powerful countries, and we're not gonna let it happen."

"It's not going to happen to the United States of America, because communism really is the past, and freedom is the future … everyone needs to get out and vote in the midterms, we have to win this election, this election's very vital."
