President Donald Trump has indicated that he’s launching a new political war on communism after the success of Mamdani-aligned politicians have ascended to relevancy in New York’s recent elections. 
Trump has stated that he has “waited and prepared” for the resurgence of communists for “a long time.” 
In his first public address since far-leftists won handedly in New York’s elections, Trump went even further by stating that their rise was “the most serious threat to our country since its existence.” 
He also warned that the mainstreaming of the communist ideology would mean greater persecution of Christians. 
“These are not social Dumocrats, these are hard core, godless Communists,” Trump likewise said on social media. 
“This is the most serious threat to our Country since its existence 250 years ago. 
Isn’t it ironic, we’re celebrating a very important Birthday, and instead of speaking about Christ, 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,” Trump continued. 
“All Communist Countries attack Religions violently.” 
Trump also warned Americans about the dangerous allure of communism’s false promises, stating that the ideology is “very easy to sell.” 
“Communism is very easy to sell,” Trump said. 
“I’d be the Greatest Communist in History. 
I’d give free rent, free houses, free food, everything is free. 
Unfortunately, after two or three years, the Country where this is taking place would fail. 
It always does, and then you’ll start living in squalor.” 
“There will be no food, there will be no housing, there will be no Military, there will be no nothing. 
You’ll be Third World every way, and everyone will suffer or die,” he added. 
With many wondering how so many radicals have managed to seize power away from the Democrat establishment, Trump offered an answer: cowardice and weakness. 
“It’s easy for them to get followers because they make promises that they know they can’t keep, and the Dumocrats aren’t fighting back,” Trump also said on social media. 
“In many ways, they’re allowing them to go their own way. 
They’re afraid they will lose their Election, they’re afraid of conflict. 
They’re not smart enough or tough enough to fight this plague. 
If they fought them the way they fight Republicans, or me, they’d be victorious, but they don’t have the courage to do so.” 
Despite the growing concern about the future of American politics should this new strain of radical Democrats continue to flourish, Trump reassured listeners that communism is firmly in the past and that freedom is the future. 
The new wave of communist victory in the Democrat party comes just days before the United States is set to celebrate its 250th anniversary of Independence Day.
