Trump says Dems' 'Godless communists' pose 'major threat' to US
President Donald Trump sharpened his political knives against Democrats, portraying the party as on the precipice of being overrun by communists.
Trump took the opportunity presented by his appearance at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s 2026 policy conference on Friday to underscore the risk created by candidates endorsed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani who usurped two sitting members of Congress this week and Democratic leadership for not being more forceful in its response.
“These are not social democrats, these are hardcore, godless communists,” he told the crowd. “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.”
Cognizant of his audience, Trump underscored the risk communism poses to religious freedoms, repeating that “ruthless communists will attack all religions, but in particular Christianity.”
“All communist countries attack religions violently,” he said. “It’s part of their deal. … They will kill your people, and that’s what they’re about. They want to end religion. They have to end religion because their ideology doesn’t work if you have strong religion people like you.”
He linked communism to Nigeria, where the U.S. military has intervened against Islamist militant groups targeting Christians, though the conflict does not involve communist forces.
“So I’m saving Christians all over the world,” Trump said.
