President Donald Trump has declared Anti-Communism Week, urging Americans to stand against communist and socialist ideologies as the 2026 midterm elections approach. The proclamation, signed on Tuesday, calls for unity in defense of the American way of life and the protection of fundamental freedoms.
Proclamation Warns of Communist Threat
The proclamation, first reported by The Daily Wire, states that for over a century, communist and socialist ideologies have threatened human freedom by eliminating individual opportunity and subjugating individuals to the state. It warns of the devastating consequences of state control over thought, creativity, and political expression, resulting in suffering, poverty, and misery for millions.
Trump emphasized the importance of safeguarding the values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from the chains of tyranny. The document also highlights the significance of this year’s proclamation, as it coincides with the upcoming midterms, where several openly socialist and communist candidates are running.
Democrat Candidates Embrace Socialist Ideals
State Representative Claire Valdez, a Democrat from New York and a congressional candidate, is among the numerous candidates associated with the Democratic Socialists of America. Other notable figures include Darializa Avila Chevalier, Melat Kiros, Donavan McKinney, and Chris Rabb. Michigan Democrat candidate Abdul El Sayed, despite denying being a socialist, has close ties with the DSA and has received support from prominent figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales described the Democrats’ embrace of socialism and communism as an existential threat to the nation, citing their pledges to abolish prisons, open borders, and defund the police as un-American values.
Trump Reaffirms Commitment to American Values
Trump reiterated his commitment to ensuring that America will never fall victim to communist ideologies. He emphasized that the story of America is one of unity against tyranny and the pursuit of a free and self-governing Republic. The proclamation serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle to protect the nation’s foundational values.
