Trump Declares Communism a Larger Threat Than Wars and 9/11

At Mount Rushmore on July 3, Trump called communism graver than World War I, World War II, and 9/11 combined. Speaking to a largely white crowd with F-16 flyovers, he linked anti-communist messaging to immigration, warning that newcomers embrace ideas hostile to American values. The declaration arrives four months before midterm elections and follows progressive and democratic socialist victories in Democratic primaries.
