Trump traveled all the way to South Dakota to read a half-baked red scare speech straight out of 1950

This is what his pal Roy Cohn taught Trump back in the 80s -after Roy stood with Jerkoph McCarthy in the 50s when he blackballed Democrats, Jews and gays as communists- just before Roy died of AIDS.

I’m not going to listen to this and last night I tuned into ABC David Muir special at the Statue of Liberty. It was beautifully done and very moving. Tonight he continues with a concert in Nashville. I’m not going to let trump ruin this special holiday for me.

Happy 4th of July! Happy Independence Day! Bring on the American unity. Not so much from the Divider in Chief. It's bring on the blind hate, bring on the national division, threaten everyone who doesn't worship the golden Donald. We'll celebrate our true Independence Day when he's gone.

Only if your grandma was a McCarthy-ite. I don't know about the rest of the grandmas and grandpas, but in my house, we're not scared. We're angry. We see the danger, we write, protest, we use our First Amendment rights and we vote. We fight.

'Child rapist' Trump,whose fascist propaganda he learned from his mentor & homosexual lover Roy Cohn,employs his latest Epstein distraction:"Communism is a mortal threat to American liberty.It is the greatest threat to our country".McCarthyism returns under Trump & his Mossad agent Stephen Miller.

Trump and MAGA trying to scare people, as usual. First, by demoniziing immigrants. Now, trying to claim Social Democrats are communists. They are not. They are Capitalists who seek improved conditions for average people.

Communism hasn't worked for "thousands of years". Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848. Has donald dumBBBass ever read a history book? Communism responsible for the deaths of "hundreds of millions". From what bodily orifice did he pull that statistic? Capitalists have also killed millions.

He had to get outta town! He bumped the traditional (nearly 50 years) PBS/NPS South Lawn July 4 show so he could have his extravaganza. #ACapitolFourth on July 3rd had a huge and enthusiastic crowd, National Symphony, army bands and choirs, big name entertainers, fireworks over Mount Vernon.

Is the communism in the room with you now? And this conman president wants to take 10% ownership of Intel, Nvidia, like a good communist. It is only projections and lies that he spews.

His love-affair with PUTIN undermines any pretence of his disliking communism. "I got along with him great. He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he's a tough cookie, got a lot of the great charm and a lot of pride." "I think he's done really a great job of outsmarting our country".

He wants to get his cult ready to engage in violence against his personal enemies. He is dehumanizing his opposition. This stuff is not accidental. Watch, he is going to unleash them if he feels threatened. Probably won't work, but still...he will try.

How can people be so SNOWED by him? HE'S DESCRIBING HIS ADMINISTRATION! Will MAGAs wake up? Are they capable? It shakes me to the core to hear people cheer him... and evangelicals... For Trump to speak like he's "christian", in ANY sense of the word, is an abomination, a complete lie. IMO.

Communism's failed history: "thousands of years under ... different ideologies." It's long past time everyone just accepted this guy is an idiot not worth listening to.

They are depending on the stupidity of the American policy that thinks that communism and socialism are interchangeable terms. The confusion of the "isms"

It's a failure to have a democratic society that understands little. An educated and informed voting population is critical to a function democracy. We decided that keeping up with the Kardashians was more important.

funny post WWII thing, lot of repub politicians were nazi sympathizers but given the global attention on nazis had to hide their affection so they linked themselves to McCarthy’s anti-communist red scare crap which targeted a lot of Jews, trump has just replaced Jews w/democrats but it’s still nazis

Irony as the Democrats have chosen to eat up Nazi era anti-Zionist propaganda hook, line, and sinker. When it comes to those speaking on Jews, it's hard to tell if we're dealing with a right wing antisemite or a left wing antisemite these days.

It’s not Communism or Socialism that scares the pants off the military/industrialist capitalist system, but the OUTCOMES of these potentially benefitting working people! By the way, multi-billionaire Putin is no communist, he uses communism like fundamental christians use Christianity, as a tool!

He’s feeding more fear & propaganda to his cult. Just like accusing minorities of killing & eating animals, or repeating lies about politicians. His goal is to scare people & get them to repeat his words.

And the worst of it is that really what he’s distracting from is that he is pumping and dumping our economy to line his and his family’s pockets. We’re being robbed! The American taxpayer is being robbed.

He seems quite taken with Kim Jong-un too. He was so impressed by the parade there that he tried to replicate it here. People ask why he does the things he does and I say it all makes sense as soon as you realize he's working for Russia not the USA.

It’s so obvious isn’t it? maga is so indoctrinated that they don’t see TDS is just another confession to cover for the useful idiot.

He is evidently ignorant of the differences between communism and democratic socialism, or is deliberately conflating them for propaganda purposes.

Acknowledging history creates a rival for the attention Trump craves and being inspirational requires the generosity he lacks. So in a moment for extolling the best ideals the country, Trump instead goes for anger and fear. And tonight we will get a warmed over and extended version of the same.

Tbh I really don't think that matters. They called Kamala Harris a socialist and a communist. They called Liz Warren a communist. They called HRC a communist. They call anyone who supports unions a communist. Unless it's the police union.

It is what it is. I wouldn't not vote for someone who had policies I like best just because they call themselves a DS. Voting for someone you like less just to play into the stupid prejudices of stupid people has proven to be a losing strategy.

Think about how stupid this is. The only significant countries that still claim to be communist are Vietnam and China. Yet the senile old man meets with them and praises their leaders. And we readily trade with them. This is more proof of his dementia. He is living in the 70's when there was USSR.

Ah yes, "Caaahmyounism," that evergreen Pavlovian trigger word that gets every right-thinking 'Murican frothing at the mouth, whether or not they have the first inkling what it means.

Now they've got evidence of his insider trading, impeachment has to be the next step. If Dems ignore it, they condone it. But this speech feels like it was directed at Mamdani

They've been making a lot of noises about this on the right. Musk openly encouraging the execution of anyone guilty of wrongthink. Posobiec is posting about how McCarthy was right. Stupid motherfuckers have no new ideas. Just the same shit over and over while they laugh all the way to the bank.

I work for a private employer. I am safe from communism. Mega-corporate egg companies, beef companies, insurance companies, oil companies, all colluding to raise prices is what is stealing your money.

trump is the enemy of Democracy!! Not socialists if you actually listen to them, they have some good ideas for the average American. Dems should follow their lead!

The Chicken Hawk in chief with fear mongering tactics again and the waste of time corporate media claimed the Democrats needs to tone down the rhetoric explained this rhetoric corporate media from the draft dodger in chief himself in South Dakota.

I’m 6 years older than he is, but I believe in DEI, education, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of, and from religion, etc. I think I’m a Democratic socialist.

Keep the maga chimps scared and tell them that their epic failure in life isn’t their fault. If you blame Democrats, teachers and Mexicans for the dirty rurals’ failures those pathetic confederate chimps will allow you to rob them blind for decades… DECADES!

Donald Trump is the living example of the worst of humanity. It is extremely damning of our country that he has been elected twice to our highest office. We are a very sick nation. I believe we as a nation can and will be saved but not without a lot of difficult work.

Lets not abandon this!!! Funny how he has managed to shut all this down. It needs to cone back FRONT AND CENTER!! He has managed to distract and redirect the MAGAmorons so they forget he is a PEDO who supported his PEDO bestie

Putin retired as a lieutenant colonel from the KGB w/a Law degree from Leningrad State U. w/ Intelligence training: counterintelligence, foreign intelligence, and recruiting human sources. From 07/98 to 03/99, Putin was the head of the FSB-Domestic security and intelligence successor to the KGB.

🎆🇺🇸🎆 "When fascism comes to America, it won't arrive overnight as a military coup; it will emerge gradually through the subversion of democratic institutions, the scapegoating of minorities, and a cult of personality." 🎆🇺🇸🎆

The gradual subversion of democratic institutions and the scapegoating of minorities are indeed hallmarks of rising fascism. To that, we must add the deliberate distortion of history and the denial of foundational truths.

💯 Grifters will lie and bribe regular citizens for their votes, and continue to shut down good institutions. And here we are. Vote Democratic 💙 everyone who appreciates their freedom in America.

Maybe we should all send in a copy of this to the current fascist-in-chief… and all the other bootlicking leaders who are happy to take part in the destruction of American Democracy…

GOP stuck spinning oldies at half speed. Trump having trouble following the teleprompter or explaining what his speech writer meant. Will it work? Voters will have to decide whether to continue to believe the party that led them down this garden path to higher prices & wars of choice or not.

No, he went to South Dakota to size up having his face carved into a mountain where past leaders already appear. Trump shouldn’t have been allowed in the same park as their image.

Did anyone ask him to define "Communism"? I wonder if that's something Miller told him to start talking about. Once this pig latches on to something, that's all we are going to hear. Ugh.

No it isn’t. Socialism is when the state controls necessary commodities and distributes them to all citizens equally. Fascism is when individuals in government also partner with private companies and corporations while hoarding their profits.
