NEW YORK—President Donald Trump warned world leaders about the “specter of socialism,” calling it one of the most serious challenges facing the nations.
“It’s the wrecker of nations and destroyer of societies,” Trump said on Sept. 24 in his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
“Events in Venezuela remind us all that socialism and communism are not about justice, they are not about equality, they are not about lifting up the poor. And they are certainly not about the good of the nation,” he said.
“Socialism and communism are about one thing only: power for the ruling class.”
Leaders of countries around the world have gathered this week in New York for the 74th session of the UNGA. In his address, Trump repeated his pledge that the United States would “never be a socialist country.”
Trump has repeatedly criticized Democrats for embracing “radical socialism” in the United States. He denounced a wide range of proposals by Democrats, such as open borders, Medicare for All, and the Green New Deal, calling them an “extreme, destructive, and dangerous agenda.”
At a closed-door Republican annual conference on Sept. 12, Trump urged GOP lawmakers “to fight like hell” to win the 2020 election and defeat rising socialism in the United States.
Trump said in his speech to the UNGA that socialism and communism killed 100 million people in the last century, and he condemned the “brutal oppression” of people in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela today.
“The dictator Maduro is a Cuban puppet, protected by Cuban bodyguards, hiding from his own people,” he said.

And to think that a few years ago, many of us here doubted Trump's conservative values.
“Socialism and communism are about one thing only: power for the ruling class.”
And the Dems are all about power to the ruling class.
Two...thumbs...up. A US president who is not Ashamed of the USA, and leads the charge for freedom.
I watched a good portion of this speech. It’s nice to hear a leader say it like it is.
The Canadian “leader” has a good chance to get back in.
He has said he’ll go after semi auto center fire rifles and handguns. The remaining he wants stored in central locations, and then hunters can go sign them out when they want to hunt.
Nobody I know of will comply with that, it remains to be seen what will happen Oct 21st, but many will be reconsidering life choices after.
God Blessed America with Donald J. Trump
Ten DC residents figured this out too.
The un is essentially comprised of socialists, largely.
Of course we all recognize this.
Go read Carlos the Jackal for his opinion of how to bring down the west. He acknowledged that Marxism by itself could not bring down the west , nor could islam; but an alliance, a coalition of the two could. Obama was both a marxist and a muslim... and a lying radical at that.
Libya? Benghazi was all a part of that.
He gave the speech to the right people.
This is possibly likely what kicked off Pelosi today and her democratic followers. Good for our President!
