Watch: Trump Tells the Hard Truth on Why the Dem Party Refuses to Fight Its Internal Communist Threat

We've seen the rise of radical leftists within the Democrat Party over the near term, with it becoming more glaringly obvious since Democratic Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's election, and others in NY and elsewhere rising in the 2026 primaries. 

More and more Americans are beginning to awaken to the truth that these aren't just progressive Dems. They're flat out Communists. President Donald Trump spoke about that fact in a short and to-the-point post shared to his Truth Social account Thursday night.

And he made addressing that threat to our nation's existence, and why the Democrats are failing to fight against the commies, central to part of his headlining speech at the conservative Faith & Freedom Coalition conference kickoff on Friday in Washington, D.C. 

In advance of Trump's remarks, he shared "one of the Statements" he planned to include in front of the conservative group, earlier on Friday [excerpted/paragraph breaks added. You can read the full post at the link below]:

Pres. Trump said that "perhaps the most important of them all, concerns the recent Election of Communists in our Country." 

 

He spoke about the Dems' "tremendous turn Left," and how the party's leaders are afraid to fight back against these commies. They're cowards, he said: 

"It’s easy for them [communists] to get followers because they make promises that they know they can’t keep, and the Dumocrats aren’t fighting back. 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."

The president called it a "plague," and said "the hard core, godless Communists" pushing their way into positions of power "is the most serious threat to our Country since its existence":

"These are not social Dumocrats, these are hard core, godless Communists. 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."

Also appearing to speak at the Faith & Freedom coalition event on Friday was Border Czar Tom Homan, as my colleague Bob Hoge wrote.

"These ruthless Communists will attack all Religions but, in particular, Christianity – They always do. All Communist Countries attack Religions violently. As you know, we recently struck Nigeria, and largely ended the slaughter of their Great Christian population. They know that if they go further, the attack will be far greater and, in that, they don’t want to get involved. 

"I am saving Christians throughout the World, even though we are not in those various Countries, by hitting these Terrorists violently and hard. They will close your Churches, they will kill your people. This is what they’re about. This is the Greatest Threat to our Country since its Founding 250 years ago!"

 

But, Trump added, the future does not belong to the Communists or their poisonous ideology; it belongs to patriots and freedom, and that starts with exercising our right to vote in the upcoming midterm election. Americans are people of faith, held firmly in the promises of liberty set out by the Founders 250 years ago:

"Communism really is the past—and freedom is the future... Everyone needs to get out and vote in the Midterms. We have to win this election, this election is very vital. 

 And in our 250th year, we will make our nation stronger, safer, better, more prosperous and more faithful than ever before."

Later in the day, the president met with members of the Religious Liberty Commission, which he established in May 2025, in the Oval Office. The group's chairman, Dan Patrick, explained why defeating the communist threat is crucial to defending the religious liberties of Americans of every faith. 

He spoke about religious liberty, "our conscience, that little voice inside us that tells right from wrong," which is the "great inheritance of our founding fathers." Governments that "take away your religious liberty," Patrick said, "are putting a hand in your heart, and taking away everything you believe in."
