Trump made the comments during an attack on New York Democratic primary winners linked to the Democratic Socialists of America who the president said “want to completely destroy the traditional American way of life.”

“The problem is, after two or three years, the country is a disaster area. The country fails,” Trump said of Communism. “Always so easy to sell that first year, you’re the most popular … but you’ll start living in squalor.”
The president went on to call the rise of the far left “the most serious threat to our country since its existence.”
