Donald Trump is a Communist

Monday, September 01, 2025

Jennifer Rubin: Republicans, before the Donald Trump cult took hold, frequently railed (rightly so) against communist and fascist regimes that nationalized industry, indulged in crony capitalism, and substituted propaganda for the free flow of reliable information. (The five-year plan is working!) Well, well. How times have changed.

Even without a cataclysmic reaction in the markets, the attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook, on-again-off-again-on-again tariffs, huge deficits, and disinvestment in green energy are already taking their toll. Growth and hiring have slowed, and long-term interest rates have climbed as fear of protracted inflation ripples through the economy.

Thing is, Trump is a Totalitarian who goes both ways, Commie and Fascist; doesn't matter as long as he gets paid.

OpEd: Is MAGA going Marxist and Maoist? Trump's assault on free-market capitalism
fortune.com

... As many CEOs understandably grew horrified last month at the prospect that New York City, the capital of capitalism, is on the brink of going socialist with the mayoral momentum of the inexperienced candidate Zohran Mamdani, they were ignoring the greater assault on free market capitalism that has already overtaken the nation in the Republican Party. While we agree that Mamdani's solutions to affordable housing and grocery prices threaten to undermine free markets by bowing to the appeal of populist anger, President Donald Trump has already begun doing so, but to suit his own grandiose political agenda instead.

Unlike any leader of any free-market economy around the world, President Trump has seized control of private enterprise's strategic decision-making and investment policies while invading corporate board rooms so that he may dictate leadership staffing, punish corporate critics, and demand public compliance with his political agenda. This is far more dangerous to capitalism than a city-run grocery store.

Many free-market economists and business leaders who have long worshipped the free-market ideals of Adam Smith, Friedrich Hayek, Ayn Rand, and Milton Friedman should be aware that their idols would be rolling in their graves right now, as rather than pursue standard laissez-faire conservative economic policies, MAGA has gone Marxist and even, increasingly, Maoist.

As Greg Ip warned this week in The Wall Street Journal, "The US marches toward state capitalism with American characteristics ... President Trump is imitating [the] Chinese Communist Party by extending political control ever deeper into the economy." ...

Communist, fascist...they both, at the top, look the same with a dictatorship and authoritarian rule for everything, over ever center of power. Stalin and Xi and Hitler...

Anyone who says Trump is a communist isn't worthy of discussion.

At the very least, it's proof they don't know anything about communism and can't distinguish it from fascism....or socialism.....or even capitalism.

What about all the people who said single payer healthcare was communist?

This is simply throwing their own stupid logic back in their faces.

Steven miller said just last week that the people protesting the kidnapping of american citizens were communists.

He's a Communist? I thought he was a Nazi, specifically Hitler 2.0.

-What about all the people who said single payer healthcare was communist?

proof that an abundance of Americans don't have a clue about communism.

Interesting you're agreeing the act of calling Trump a communist is "stupid logic".

He's doing a thing that his party called communist before he did it.

Do yall have ANY actual principles that you stick to?

Balanced budget, family values, fighting inflation, defending the constitution...all out the window for a reality tv show actor.

Trump was just found in court to have violated The Posse Comitatus Act.
Where are the (sic) Constitutional scholars on this?

From the ruling ..
The evidence at trial established that Defendants systematically used armed soldiers (whose identity was often obscured by protectivearmor) and military vehicles to set up protective perimeters and traffic blockades, engagein crowd control, and otherwise demonstrate a military presence in and around LosAngeles.

In short, Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act.Almost three months after Defendants first deployed the ...

The issue is the Posse Comitatus Act states clearly...
Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
www.law.cornell.edu

Technically the ruling isn't reading the Posse Act correctly, as in the exception by "Act of Congress", in this case the Insurrection Act.
I hereby call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard under 10 U.S.C. 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations.
www.whitehouse.gov

As I have previously argued, the NF Military, forces can't "execute the laws", only protect the government agents, assets that are used in executing the laws. The description in the ruling is clear, it was protection focused. Ergo ... I expect the it to be vacated by the current 3 9th circuit judges, and then taken up by the 9th circuit formally, I think its called a "limited en banc court" (LEBC)

Anything else I can help you idiots with?

Well still doesn't make him a communist, I know what a communist is, and its nothing Trump is doing. Or the people in DC as Miller was pointing out.

Its just namecalling, grow up, quit playing the victim.

So your party was lying when they called democrats communists for wanting universal healthcare?

"That shower where Biden was fondling his daughter."

Typical MAGA fantasizing out loud about what they want to do to kids and projecting it on Democrats to assuage their own guilty conscience.

OK Pedo.

Except you do. Whenever republicans get frustrated that their delusions are being destroyed by facts they start throwing out insults that are always centered around dicks, ----, or -------. Then there's the fact that they can't stop crying about trans people 24/7, when trans porn is most popular in the red south.

Just as meaningless as when Gracydazed says it after insulting the citizens of California.

Speaksoftly is so indoctrinated into his cult that he refuses to accept a person he disagrees with being cordial to him.

If so then you can leave the temple grasshopper.

Point to the inaccuracy and make an argument against it.

" Are you capable of giving kindness without expecting the same in return??"

I do it daily. I don't expect anything in return because I don't ask for anything in return. I enjoy being a nice person. I enjoy being nice and kind to others.

Having said that, you moved the goalposts.

Oneironaut gave a kind farewell to Speaksoftly. It's not that Speaksoftly didn't reply in kind, it's that he bashed Oneironaut for being nice.

You're guilty of exactly that what you're accusing others of

But we all knew that.

True ... ..but you're acknowledging the politeness.

The "politeness" is more of a trolling tactic than an actual attempt at politeness.

It's a passive aggressive manner a coward would use.

I accuse republicans of being in a fascist cult. I could type out the evidence if it would change anything but it wont because...they're in a cult.

Are you saying I'm in a cult? Who leads my cult? What demands does my cult make of me?

I accuse republicans of being in a fascist cult.

Yeah ... ... .i have seen you do it only 4,000 times.

Then you say this

Show your work.

I say fascist cult members are in a fascist cult, because they are in fascist cult. They can't deny they're in a fascist cult because the literally fit the definition of those two words, so they do the 4th grade debate technique of saying "No YOU are!"

Then you come in to back them up with "yeah!" from the peanut gallery.

The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
The group is preoccupied with making money.
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should think, act, and feel (for example: members must get permission from leaders to date, change jobs, get married; leaders may prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, how to discipline children, and so forth).
The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity).
The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society.
The group's leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream denominations).
The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify means that members would have considered unethical before joining the group (for example: collecting money for bogus charities).
The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control them.
Members' subservience to the group causes them to cut ties with family and friends, and to give up personal goals and activities that were of interest before joining the group.
Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.

Well god damn if that doesn't fit maga to a T.
