President Donald Trump on Thursday addressed Democratic Socialists at a “Ratepayer Protection Pledge” roundtable event.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: In this country, we build the future fearlessly and confidently so that America always will be strong, prosperous, and dominant. And the other thing we’re going to add to that, we want to be free. And we’re going to continue to be free as long as we’re smart. And we can’t be hoodwinked. We can’t be taken advantage of by people that say you’re going to have a free home. You’re going to get free rent. Everything is going to be free. What they don’t say is a year later. Everything is going to end up in squalor, destruction, and death. And also death for our country. So we have to stop the threat of the communist rhetoric that you’re hearing right now because these people, they don’t act… I’m very happy a poll came out. It said they’re highly educated but doing very poorly. In other words, they’re losers. They went to school. They got a good education. Now they don’t know what they’re doing. So what they do is they complain about people like yourselves that have done so well. But we can’t let the communist ideology even… We don’t want to even think about it for this country. It would be terrible.
