Trump made the remark during a press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on August 15, 2024, in the run-up to that year’s presidential election against Harris. “You’re going to be thrown into a communist system. It’s a communist system. You’re going to be thrown into a system where everyone gets healthcare,” he said, according to reporting that traced the clip’s origins.
I'll never understand how Republicans for years said "Communism is when good thing x happens" and are absolutely shocked that young people are okay with communism
Thanks for providing this context. It reminds us that when Trump and other leaders speak, we have to ask, who is the audience? Too many people assume our leaders are addressing the American people, when they are often speaking to other leaders and the wealthy overlords pulling the strings.

I’m in
don't threaten me with a good time....
I wish they cared about that and that they could somehow pass that legislation.
Honestly, it’s dumb that this administration hasn’t backed it. If they want to be in power for a long time, it’d buy a lot of votes.
And just like that, peace broke out all over (except for the war pig(s) leading the Israeli's).
