President Donald Trump warns about creeping communism in the U.S. in a speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference on Friday. Trump delivered the speech at the Washington Hilton, where the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner was interrupted by a shooting. “You’ll start living in squalor,” Trump warned. “There will be no food. There will be no housing. There will be no military. There will be no law and order. There will be no nothing. There will be no nothing. You’ll be a third-world inhabitant in every way, and everyone will suffer or die. You’ll suffer or die. That’s what happens.” “Many of these people – I looked at some of the people that got elected the other night in New York,” the president said. “These are – these are, in many ways, stupid people. In some ways, intellectually, probably pretty smart. But they’re people that want to destroy our country. They hate our country. They hate our people. They hate the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is in big trouble because this isn’t stopping with New York. This is going on.” <\/p>\n
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Never forget, if the radical left ever gets the chance, they will bring all of this insanity right back at levels that you’ve never seen before. You will never have seen anything like it, if they ever get their chance. And they’re trying like hell. I call them the Democrats. I exchange an E for a U. The Dum-o-crats. And that’s counter – it’s trending number one, the word dumb-a-grats. I just can’t believe I didn’t think of it nine years ago. I should have – the Democrats, they are horrible. They want to resume the transgender mutilization of our children. They want to restart the war on Christians and churches. And 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. Communism is very easy to sell. It destroys everything, but it’s very easy. I’d be – I’ll be honest, I think I’d be the greatest communist in history. I’d give free rent. “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 is going to 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 does. So easy to sell. That first year, boy, you’re the most popular. It’s happening right now in New York and California. But you’ll start living in squalor. You’ll live in squalor. There will be no food. There will be no housing. There will be no military. There will be no law and order. There will be no nothing. There will be no nothing. You’ll be a third-world inhabitant in every way, and everyone will suffer or die. You’ll suffer or die. That’s what happens. For thousands of years, it’s been happening by different names. Thousands of years. I would be – I’m telling you, I’d be the greatest communist in history. It would be so easy. You wouldn’t have to work. You could stay home. The problem is, a couple of years go by, the whole place collapses. Always does. Always has. But 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 easy for them to get followers because they make promises that they know they can’t keep. And the Democrats aren’t fighting back. That’s why they’re dumb. They’re not fighting back. They’re afraid. I watch Schumer. He’s afraid to fight. I watch guys that are pretty normal. And guys that we oppose, they’re afraid to fight. The Democrats have taken a tremendous turn left. And many of these people – I looked at some of the people that got elected the other night in New York. These are – these are, in many ways, stupid people. In some ways, intellectually, probably pretty smart. But they’re people that want to destroy our country. They hate our country. They hate our people. They hate the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is in big trouble because this isn’t stopping with New York. This is going on. Too easy to get elected. Giving everything away. Too easy to get elected. Very dangerous. But you’ll soon have nothing left. That’s the problem. 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. They’re godless communists. All communists are godless. They don’t believe in God. This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence, in my opinion, 250 years ago. This is a major threat to our country. It isn’t something that’s easily solved, but with a little love and help, some hard work. Because it’s ironic, we’re celebrating a very important birthday, our most important birthday so far, 250 years. And instead of speaking about Christ, and instead of speaking about freedom and victories of all different kinds, we’re speaking about yet another threat to the foundations of America. These ruthless communists will attack all religions, but in particular, Christianity. They always do. They’re after Christianity more than any other religion. It seems to be more and more throughout the world. Maybe because we’re doing so well. I don’t know. Maybe if we weren’t doing well. But you see the numbers, how they’re growing, how the churches are filling up. It’s a beautiful thing to see. I mean, look, it happens to be during my presidency so I don’t mind taking credit for it. I’m very proud. But a lot of great things are happening. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
