On Friday night, U.S. President Donald Trump, in a speech delivered at Mount Rushmore on the eve of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, said: “Communism is the enemy of free people everywhere in the world. Communism, above all, is the enemy of the U.S. Constitution and the enemy of the Fourth of July, 1776; without a doubt, it is the enemy.” In another part of his remarks, Trump said: “While radicals and extremists, at every opportunity, attack our proud history, they remain silent about communism’s wretched history, because communism has never succeeded. If you look at its thousands of years of history, despite the different names, ideologies, and systems, this way of thinking has caused death and destruction more than any other system that has ever been tested. Only in the past century, it sent 100 million people to death.” He said: “Communism is exactly the opposite of life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. Communism means death, dictatorship, and the pursuit of evil.”
