Trump calls Democrats 'godless communists' at Faith & Freedom Coalition conference.

President Trump addressed the Faith & Freedom Coalition's 2026 Policy Conference on June 26, labeling Democratic primary winners in New York as 'godless communists' and describing the ideology as the greatest threat to America in its 250-year history. The remarks followed primary victories by three candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist. Trump linked the candidates to religious persecution and societal collapse, while outlets varied on whether to clarify the distinction between democratic socialism and communism.
