The President delivered a speech on July 4, 2026, marking America's 250th anniversary. On Saturday evening, he took to social media to critique the current state of the opposing party, describing it as being controlled by "loud and unattractive" individuals.
The President used a derisive nickname for the party, labeling them the "Dumocrats." In his post, he stated that the party has lost control to radical elements and is being led by individuals who have lost their way. He expressed hope that they would fight back against a perceived communist ideology that threatens to take over the country.
In another post, the President criticized Democrats for embracing socialism and moving towards communism. He declared in all caps, "AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY!" The post was a response to recent primary victories by self-admitted socialist candidates, particularly in New York.
Among the winners were Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez, both members of the Democratic Socialists of America. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani actively supported both candidates in their primaries and has publicly advocated for the abolition of ICE.
The victory of socialist candidates has sparked concern among some establishment Democrats. A centrist House Democrat expressed worries that they would present challenges in the 2027 election. Meanwhile, the President sardonically congratulated Mamdani on his success, stating that the "game is on" and that it would be entertaining to watch the developments.
