SHOTLIST: WASHINGTON, DC, US (JUNE 26, 2026) 1. (SOUNDBITE) (English) US PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYING: “This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence, in my opinion, 250 years ago. This is a major threat to our country. If they fought them the way they fight Republicans or the way they fight me, they'd be victorious. They didn't beat us, but they'd be victorious against the communists. But they don't have the courage to do so, so they're turning communists themselves, becoming a communist party. These are not social Democrats. These are hardcore, godless communists. They're godless communists. All communists are godless. They don't believe in God. And as you saw with the communists elected in New York City recently, they're communists, they're not social Democrats. They want to completely destroy the traditional American way of life. Communism is very easy to sell. It destroys everything, but it's very easy.”WASHINGTON, DC, US - JUNE 26, 2026: US President Donald Trump on Friday called the rise of democratic socialist candidates within the Democratic Party "the most serious threat to our country since its existence," calling them “hardcore godless communists.” "This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence, in my opinion, 250 years ago.
