Trump again issued anti-communist warning: Communism is the biggest threat in the history of the United States, and the Communist Party still openly adheres to communist goals

On August 14, U.S. President Trump delivered a speech at the Nagasaki County Police Academy in Long Island City, New York, while standing for Republican New York Governor Candidate and Nagasaki County Chief Executive Bruce Blackman, once again raising “communism” to the highest level of threat to U.S. national security and political order.

The campaign, which originally focused on crime and public security, soon became an important stage for Trump’s mid-term political offensive in

1. Trump sharply criticized the New York Democratic Party’s ruling line and ranked U.S. far-leftists, Marxists and Communists side by side, saying these political forces had “hopped over socialism” and directly tried to turn the United States into a communist country.

Trump further warned that the Communists wanted to turn the United States into a third world country, plunging cities into crime, dirt, bad smell, garbage accumulation and social disorder.He described the deterioration of the urban environment as a precursor to a more serious security crisis, and then pointed to policies such as New York Governor Casey Hothur and New York State free cash.

The most political judgment in the speech was that Trump reiterated that communism was the “greatest threat in American history” and compared it to World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

This is not the language Trump temporarily planned for the campaign.

On June 26, Trump called the so-called communist force the worst threat since the founding of the United States at the annual conference of the Alliance of Faith and Freedom in Washington, D.C. Reuters that he publicly declared that “these cruel communists” represented one of the greatest dangers since the founding of the United States.

In public speeches in Mount Rushmore and Georgia, Trump once again portrayed communism as the worst institutional threat in U.S. history.

This means that the “communist threat” has gradually evolved from Trump’s political attack on the American left to a continuously strengthening ideological mainline ahead of the mid-term elections in 2026.

There is also obvious controversy around these claims in the United States.The AP verification pointed out that some of the Democratic party figures Trump is currently focusing on belong to democratic socialists, not members of the Communist Party, and it is not accurate to directly equate democratic socialism to communism.

But this domestic political controversy in the United States does not change another more important global reality: the world’s largest Communist rule—the Chinese Communist Party—still publicly affirms its communist goals.

The current party chapter of the CPC has no vague space for this.

The Constitution of the Communist Party of China adopted by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2022 clearly states:

“The highest ideal and ultimate goal of the Party is the realization of communism.”

The Party Constitution also stipulates that the Communist Party of China uses Marxism-Leninism and socialist ideas with Chinese characteristics in Xi Jinping's new era as its guidelines for action, and clearly states that "the highest ideal of communism pursued by Chinese Communists" needs to be realized on the basis of the full development of socialism.

In other words, communism is not the political label imposed on the Chinese Communist Party by the outside, but the ultimate political goal of the party itself, which is written into the highest party documents.

Xi Jinping himself made the same confirmation again more than a month ago.

On July 1, the 105th anniversary congress was held by the Communist Party of China (CPC). Xi Jinping made it clear in his speech that the Communist Party “has the greatest ideals of communism” and emphasized that Marxism is the ideological weapon for transforming the subjective and objective world.

Thus, while Trump has consistently defined communism as the highest level of threat to the U.S. free system and national security, this political language, while currently primarily serving domestic elections in the U.S., cannot completely break from the ideological goals that the Chinese Communist Party has openly insisted on.

Today, the Communist Party of China not only controls the world’s second-largest economy, but also has nuclear weapons, one of the world’s largest permanent armies, and expands its international influence through the Belt and Road Initiative, international organizations, science and technology industry chains, capital investment and the overseas war system.

This makes the “communist threat” no longer just a political concept left behind in the Cold War era of the 20th century.

What Trump is now doing is bringing this concept back to the heart of the U.S. presidential political discourse.

One of the questions that really deserves to be followed up is whether this political quality will go further from the election language into U.S. national security policy.

Once the Trump administration begins to systematically adopt this framework in its national security strategy, foreign policy, trade policy, technology restrictions, military deployment and China policy, the nature of U.S.-China competition could change further.

At that time, what the United States faces will no longer be merely “Chinese economic competition”, “Chinese military expansion” or “Chinese technological threat”, but may be more clearly defined as institutional competition between the free system and the Communist regime.

Trump’s Long Island speech on August 14th has therefore observational value beyond the New York Governor’s election itself.

On the one hand, the US president has described communism as the biggest threat in American history for months in a row.

On the other hand, the Communist Party of China under Xi Jinping has still written "the realization of communism" into the Party Constitution and continued to declare "the greatest ideal of communism" in its highest political speech in 2026.

Both political trajectories are moving forward at the same time.

What really matters in the future is not whether or not Trump has occasionally spoken the phrase “communism,” but whether American politics is re-forming a clear anti-communist country strategy, and how that strategy will eventually point to the world’s most powerful communist regime today – the Chinese Communist Party.
