Why is Trump so fearful of the imaginary "communists"?

[kentuck]

Because he is afraid they will take back all the money he has stolen?

He is not afraid of losing his freedom. He is afraid of losing his money.

He has committed numerous crimes in his pursuit of wealth.

He wants "his people" to believe that the Democrats are "communist". This is the narrative he wants to nurture before the November election.

But it is Donald Trump that cozies up to the leaders in China and Russia and the dictators around the world. It is not the Democrats.

He has managed to steal more money since he has been in the presidency than he has made in his entire life. He brags about giving up his salary of $400K a year, just as a gesture of his love for the country and as an act of generosity. But, he just reported that he made $2.2 billion dollars since he has been in the White House for his second term. Now that may not sound like a lot of money if you say it fast...But if he were to give up his $400K per year salary for 5000 years, it would equal $2 billion dollars. And he did it while sitting in the White House.

Now, he is afraid someone, the "communists", might take it back from him. He will spend the rest of this campaign attempting to convince the voters that he is a patriot and the Democrats are communists.

These imaginary demons are the enemy of America. It is not the crimes or corruption of Donald J Trump.

1. He's not.

[Ocelot II]

2. He isn't. He's just latched onto another word he thinks will scare the rubes

like it was still 1955.

[kentuck]

4. Do you think he can scare enough "rubes" with this strategy?

A communist under every bed? I will admit, it does have a McCarthyite smell to it.

[rampartd]

21. communist is anyone not entirely in on deregulated monopolistic capitalism

and he will denaturalize,, deport and kill us all

[kentuck]

22. He would if he could...

I do not doubt that.

[haele]

15. GOP going to party like it's July of 1929...

Or maybe 1889.
The beginning of their WASP Gilded Age.

[Happy Hoosier]

3. He's not...

… but he knows the rubes will latch onto this. It’s all over right-wing media?

[kentuck]

5. Democrats are not afraid of becoming communists...

They are afraid that being called "communists" will cause enough people to turn against them that they lose the next election.

[Captain Zero]

6. Putin was a Commie. He LOVES Putin.

Who's the Commie Lover? Trump.
He sure loves Vladimir Putin.

[kentuck]

7. He admires the leader of China also.

He would have loved Mussolini. They were two peas in a pod. He was a fascist and proud of it. He made "the trains run on time."

8. Those pedaling fear of "communists," the Republican latest scare word, really just don't want to share

Our country has tremendous resources. There’s more than enough for everyone to have their basic needs met. Yet the greedy misers in the Republican Party would rather see children starve, women bleed out from miscarriages, and others die because they can’t get health insurance. More money for them and their donors.

Republicans have mastered the use of scare words and scare tactics, to the detriment of everyone else.

[kentuck]

9. It's all a distraction from his cratering in the polls and his corruption and vanity projects...

...as well as his lies about the war in Iran and the Epstein files he manages to keep hidden. Along with his ego putting his name on the JFK Arts Center, and tearing down the East Wing of the White House, and making an embarrassing mess with the Reflection Pool, and building an Arc to block the view of Arlington Cemetery, as well as the high cost of everything.

And, his stealing of public funds to share with his billionaire buddies.

It's all a diversion and a distraction from his god awful screw ups.

[dlk]

12. Yes, it's all about the money

And while he gets a pass on his gross incompetence, and all of his failures, he can’t steal money fast enough.

[GoodRaisin]

10. He's not. This lie has been recently elevated to a daily talking point.

He thinks socialism isn’t a strong enough lie anymore to make his disappointed voters go to the polls again. Trying to get his “stupid” base re-motivated to vote again. Putting more “fear” in his message.

[kentuck]

14. Yep. That's his primary motivation.

I would agree.

[Sneederbunk]

11. Because today's communists still lease Siberia.

[Klarkashton]

13. The DSA wins have them shit scared.

This is the counter attack, it was bound to happen.

Fox will will push this narrative all summer. The worse things get for trump the harder they will push.

[kentuck]

16. I have not seen any Democrats running around with Vladimir Putin on their T-shirts?

It is an attempt to distract from the corruption, the Epstein files, and the war in Iran.

[MerryBlooms]

17. Its the talking point and will be handed to every rw media talking head

And republican
Midterm scare tactic
We've been here before

[kentuck]

18. Indeed it is...

...and Democrats are fearful of the force of propaganda.

[MerryBlooms]

19. I don't believe so. This is old school republican rebooting.

We have a lot of old timers in the party who can handle this script. The younger ones are already punching hard. We're in the good. 🥰

[kentuck]

20. They should not be afraid of this fascist.

He's hiding from his record by calling others communist. Just stop the corruption and end the war in Iran, then turn over the Epstein files. Then the people might take him more seriously?
