Trump Decries Communism, Says It Turns to ‘Death, Destruction, Squalor’

‘Free enterprise is tougher to sell, but that’s what’s made our country great,’ the president said.

Trump responds to a question from NTD, a sister outlet of The Epoch Times, related to a post he made on Truth Social on June 3 discussing communist ideology.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on June 3, President Donald Trump decried communism, saying that the ideology leads to “death, destruction, and squalor.”

Trump said that the “free houses,” “free food,” and “free everything” offered by communist ideas “eventually ... ends, and it leads to death, destruction, and squalor—100 percent of the time.”
