Communism is OK when Trump does it

Thursday, July 09, 2026

If a Democratic politician suggests a slight tax increase or says that, perhaps, the government should regulate certain matters so as to protect the health, safety, and well-being of Americans from demonstrable risks and harms, they are painted as Stalin 2.0 and the political press goes on a weeks-long jag about whether radical socialism is right for America. Meanwhile, Trump has opened up nationalized, price-controlled gas stations

This is a transparent propaganda effort aimed at pacifying idiots who don't understand " or don't want to understand " that the reason gas prices are so high right now is that Trump launched an illegal war of choice in Iran, promptly lost it, and then yesterday broke the ceasefire which stands to send energy prices spiraling up even higher.

I'd like to think that both people and the press will see this for the pathetic, empty political gambit that it is " and perhaps reckon with the manner in which they demonize politicians of one party "communists" or "socialists" while never seeming to do the same to the other " but I'm not holding my breath.

Dummkopf Trumpf learned something from fellow New Yorker NYC Zohran Mamdani (D) and his plan for five grocery stores for poor people, one for each borough.

If Trump told his slathering mob that Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, the lot, were actually believers in a "Purer, Americanoized brand of communism that was actually good" they'd turn on a dime.

Still not knowing the meaning of that word, "communism." Just another space filler for plaintive cries of "Turn on the night light."

"Trump has opened up nationalized, price-controlled gas stations"

The article says it's a private company that receives no subsidies.

Trump is pimping it obviously but it's not clear exactly what the Federal government is doing to specifically help this business.

The title of the thread is more important here. Who cares about reality, just look at DocSadist, bloviating, shooting his shot, before even reading the article, hell he probably didn't even read the article after.

And it gets a NEWSWORTHY, now that person is a certified idiot whoever that was..

These Lumpers smdh.

According to what I read, the corporate entities behind it aren't even fully known.

In any case, it doesn't really matter. We have the White House in a secret agreement with some gas retailer to fix prices (at $3.47 because Trump is the 47th POTUS.../barf) in order to give the impression to people that gas is cheaper than it is.

I'm old enough to remember when a scheme like this would have had righties frothing at the mouth.

The other retail owners in Penn are certainly frothing at the mouth over this, I guarantee you

What it seems to be is that Trump announced on X that he's doing this.

And at the same time announces through all the other traditional news outlets that he has nothing to do with it

It appears he changes this message for his followers and/or his haters on X

At this point there is no evidence of that but I accept that literally anything is possible.

"Communism is a system of government in which the ruling party controls major investment decisions while hoarding wealth for itself and suppressing all opposition.

Nevertheless, Donald Trump professes to dislike it."

Lee,

"Trump has opened up nationalized, price-controlled gas stations"

I have a question.....did he? Did Trump actually open up nationalized, price-controlled gas stations?
