President Donald Trump on Friday seized on the electoral success of several democratic socialist candidates to ramp up his attacks on the Democratic Party, claiming it was being taken over by “godless Communists” who pose an existential threat to the nation.

The heated rhetoric marked the latest bid by Trump to portray Democrats as political extremists ahead of November’s midterms — even though portrayals of even the party’s most liberal candidates as “communists” are far from reality.

“These are hard core, godless Communists,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post earlier on Friday, an accusation he repeated during remarks to a gathering of social conservatives. “This is the Greatest Threat to our Country since its Founding 250 years ago!”

    Remember that time he called mamdani and evil communist terrorist Muslim jihadist and the worst thing that can happen to New York. Then he won, met Trump and then Trump said he’ll be great for New York and is a nice guy.

    Almost like the guy has no actual morals or ideals or anything really. And is in fact just evil himself.
