WASHINGTON – President Trump marked the 250th birthday of the United States Saturday night with a speech paying tribute to the “glory” of America while vowing to protect it from the “cancer” of communism.
“For 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world, all over the world. They try and be like us. Nobody can be like us,” Trump said to a cheering crowd of more than 150,000 people on the National Mall who braved a thunderstorm-forced evacuation to hear the president speak in the 11 p.m. hour.
Amid boasts of the country’s triumphs — highlighted by the recognition of Medal of Honor winners, the presentation of American flags from important military battles, and the astronauts of Artemis II appearing on stage — Trump warned about the looming threat of the far left.
“America will never be a communist country — won’t happen,” he vowed. “Communism is a loser, and it always will be.”
“Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world, only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America. We’re not going to let it happen,” Trump continued.
“All these talks from the communists, they haven’t got a chance,” claimed the president in response to candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America triumphing in multiple Democratic primaries this cycle.
“We don’t want communists in our country,” he added. “Never worked, and it never will work.”
Trump reiterated his warnings from a speech one day earlier at Mount Rushmore, a sign he plans to hammer the issue throughout the midterm campaign.

Sounds like the 60s again, except, the enemy is in the gate. It’s going to get real, but we’re not realizing it. They’re getting ready. We aren’t.
I loved the way he went after communism.
He did go after communism. Good.
Next he needs to call out the dimrat party for surrendering to the commies.
