Trump Warns of Communist Threat in 250th Anniversary Speech at Mount Rushmore

Former U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a speech on Friday at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, commemorating America's 250th anniversary. Against the backdrop of the presidential sculptures, Trump focused on preserving American culture and warned of a "resurgent communist threat" near U.S. borders. He claimed that American national identity is under attack by communist ideologies, including from new immigrants adopting ideas contrary to the American way of life and success. Trump stated, "A person can be a communist or a patriot, but not both simultaneously," emphasizing that those living in the U.S. must love what has been built, regardless of birthplace.

Beyond cultural issues, Trump outlined the Republican Party's strategy for the upcoming midterm elections. He argued that the only way to secure victory is by abolishing the filibuster and passing the Save America Act, which would require voters to prove citizenship when registering and present photo ID at the polls. Concluding his remarks, Trump said, "As we march toward our 250th year, a beautiful and extraordinary year, we must never forget, there is no American liberty without American culture, and no American foundation without the American people."
