\n 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 \u201cgodless Communists\u201d who pose an existential threat to the nation.\n <\/p>\n

\n The heated rhetoric marked the latest bid by Trump to portray Democrats as political extremists ahead of November\u2019s midterms \u2014 even though portrayals of even the party\u2019s most liberal candidates as \u201ccommunists\u201d are far from reality.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThese are hard core, godless Communists,\u201d Trump wrote in a Truth Social post earlier on Friday, an accusation he repeated during remarks to a gathering of social conservatives. \u201cThis is the Greatest Threat to our Country since its Founding 250 years ago!\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The president\u2019s stepped up bid to label Democrats as communists follows New York\u2019s Democratic primary earlier this week, which saw voters in three deep blue districts select self-identified democratic socialists as their candidates for Congress.\n <\/p>\n

\n Those primary wins came on the heels of New York\u2019s election of another democratic socialist, Zohran Mamdani, for mayor. Democrats could send still more to Congress by the time November\u2019s races are set, with hopefuls on the ballot in several states across the country.\n <\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s a movement that appears set to push the Democratic Party further to the left. Yet the tenets of socialism \u2014 much less democratic socialism \u2014 are still far removed from the communist ideology that Trump has loudly, and inaccurately, portrayed as a rising threat.\n <\/p>\n

\n The democratic socialists rising within the Democratic Party are advocating for major policy changes within the US\u2019 already established capitalist system, chiefly through a significant bolstering of the social safety net. That includes directing greater public funding toward guaranteeing health care for all citizens, providing far more in housing assistance and relying on the government to a much greater degree to lift peoples\u2019 quality of life.\n <\/p>\n

\n The main tradeoff for those benefits is higher taxes, especially on the wealthy, which democratic socialists contend is necessary to ensure a more balanced and equal society.\n <\/p>\n

\n That\u2019s a view that has raised the ire of Republicans, and even factions within the Democratic Party, who are opposed to such change \u2014 or believe that it\u2019s more prudent to make change incrementally.\n <\/p>\n

\n Yet even that aggressive platform is far from what would typically be defined as communism, which envisions a government-less, class-less society where resources are distributed evenly no matter how hard or well any individuals work. Implementing such an ideology would first require effectively dismantling capitalism \u2014 a step that no leading Democrats see as preferable or feasible.\n <\/p>\n

\n Those clear differences between democratic socialism and communism aren\u2019t likely to deter Trump, whose party faces an uphill battle in retaining full control of Congress. On Friday, speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition\u2019s 2026 Policy Conference, he warned that Democrats\u2019 \u201ccommunist\u201d policies would lead to societal collapse \u2014 and possibly even violence.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI\u2019m sorry to say, but assassination is a big deal for them,\u201d he said, speaking at the same Washington, DC, hotel where earlier this year a gunman who authorities say was attempting to kill him was subdued. \u201cThey\u2019re animals in many cases.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The president also cast the struggle against communism in religious terms, referencing violence against Christians in Nigeria and warning of dire consequences domestically.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey will close your churches in this country. They go communist, and they\u2019re trying to. They will kill your people, and that\u2019s what they\u2019re about. They want to end religion,\u201d he said.\n <\/p>\n

\n It was a sharp contrast compared to his evaluation just days earlier of the leader of an actual communist country: China\u2019s Xi Jinping.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe\u2019s a very smart man,\u201d Trump told Axios in an interview published last week. \u201cYou don\u2019t get to those levels where you are running a country, even if it was a small country, you have something special.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
