Donald Trump proclaims an “anti-communism week” in the US: “Their message remains the same: Give up freedoms for the convenience of surveillance”

Donald Trump published a proclamation on Monday in which he announces that the week starting in the US is one of “anti-communism” and in which he attacks his progressive opponents in passing, AFP informs, according to Agerpres.

These proclamations, through which American presidents highlight for a day or a week themes that they consider very important, have a mostly symbolic value.

Denouncing “one of the most destructive ideologies in history”, the 79-year-old Republican writes, in this text broadcast by the White House: “Today, new voices repeat old lies, disguising them under expressions such as 'social justice' or 'democratic socialism'”, the current from which Zohran Mamdani, recently elected mayor of New York, claims himself.

“Their message remains the same: give up your freedoms, trust the power of government, and trade the hope of property for the empty comfort of surveillance,” Trump added.

The American president has already qualified Zohran Mamdani as a “communist” and declared in a speech after the latter's election as mayor that Americans had to make “a choice between communism and common sense.”

The future mayor of New York publicly defied him on the night of his mayoral victory, declaring: “Donald Trump, because I know you're watching, well: 'turn up the volume!'”
