Trump Named the U.S.'s Main Enemy and Made a Sensational Statement
During a commemorative address marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, President Donald Trump stated that communism is the main threat to the U.S. Constitution. Speaking near the Mount Rushmore monument, he also sharply criticized his political opponents and called for changes to the country’s election laws.
The U.S. president said that new domestic threats have emerged for the country. He linked them to the rise of left-wing forces following the recent victories of several progressive Democratic Party candidates in the primaries.
“As we approach this momentous anniversary, we see our American identity under a new attack,” Trump warned.
“Communism is the enemy of free people everywhere, all over the world; it never works; it is the enemy of the Constitution; above all, it is the enemy of July 4, 1776—it is truly the enemy,” the president emphasized.
In addition to ideological issues, Donald Trump raised the topic of the upcoming elections. He called on the Senate to repeal the filibuster in order to pass the new election bill, the “SAVE America Act.” According to Trump, the reform will allow Republicans to secure consistent victories for decades to come.
“We can only lose the midterm elections if we allow ourselves to lose them—if we’re stupid, foolish, and unwise,” the White House chief noted.
He also sharply criticized the Democrats, calling them the “Communist Party.” However, not all Republicans supported the president’s idea to change the Senate voting rules. In particular, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who was also present at the event, had previously spoken out against this initiative. According to him, there simply aren’t enough votes to pass the new law.
In his 30-minute speech, Trump also paid tribute to four outstanding U.S. presidents whose profiles are carved on Mount Rushmore — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
“These are the men who proclaimed freedom, fought for our freedom, saved our freedom, and secured our freedom,” the president concluded.
At the ceremony in Cistown, the president was accompanied by members of his family, White House staff, and influential officials, including Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and South Dakota Governor Larry Roden.
