In his second term, President Trump is applying a historically charged label of 'communism' to frame political adversaries as threats to American identity and culture. This tactic, effective in the last election where he labeled Kamala Harris as a 'comrade', serves to rally support and create division. Experts note that the core tenets of communism are largely irrelevant in a U.S. context, yet its emotional weight is leveraged strategically in a climate of misinformation and social media, recalling historical fears from the Cold War era.
Trump has effectively weaponized the term 'communist' to politically undermine opponents, a strategy he explained by labeling Kamala Harris as 'comrade Kamala'.
Despite communism's real presence abroad, it's not a present danger within the U.S.; the term remains potent primarily as a rhetorical weapon in political discourse.
