President Donald Trump kept his all-out assault on socialism going on Sunday by declaring “Black and Brown” Americans want nothing to do with it — and are now turning to the Republican Party because the Democrats are flirting with it. Those voters are also warming up to the GOP because they suddenly remember Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, Trump added.

Here’s his post from Truth Social:

Black and Brown Voters don’t want Communism or Socialism — Not surprisingly, they are flocking to the Republican Party! They remember that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump’s post comes after he has been railing against socialism and communism over the past few months, after a handful of democratic socialists won Democratic primaries.

Two of those candidates in New York — Darializa Avila Chevalier (D) and Claire Valdez (D) — are card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America, just like NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D). The mayor backed both Chevalier and Valdez in their primaries. 

Beyond its socialist economic agenda, the DSA website said it is against Trump’s “racist immigration policies” and America being allied with Israel, which it said has committed a “genocide” in Gaza.

Soon after the primaries, Trump sardonically congratulated Mamdani on getting “solid Communists” elected. His tone shifted a few days later, when he said the communists have started to make “their move” in the USA.

“The game is on,” Trump said.

Trump has ripped the socialists plenty of other times since then, including when he said communism is a “cancer” which must be dealt with ASAP during his Fourth of July address.

He issued a similar warning during a July speech in Georgia. Trump said it is really simple to understand: “With communism, everything turns to sh*t!”

Trump’s Sunday post followed DSA co-chair Megan Romer melting down and failing to provide a cogent answer two days earlier when The New Yorker editor David Remnick asked for more details on her group’s plan for “taxing the hell out of millionaires.”
