President Donald Trump stood up to a resurgent wave of socialism in America during the State of the Union address on Feb. 5, telling Congress and the nation, “America will never be a socialist country.” The president reviewed his administration’s successes, most of which have been antithetical to socialism. He charted a course toward American greatness and away from the failures of socialism.
Since taking office in 2017, Trump has lambasted socialism and communism on the world stage. On Feb. 5, facing the members of the Democratic Party—many of whom are socialists—the president confronted, for the first time, the ideology’s encroachment on America.
