“We have the fairest and longest-lasting Constitution in the world. We are the strongest and most powerful country in the world and, by the grace of God, the United States is the most successful nation, with the most extraordinary and most admired achievements ever to exist in the history of mankind. And it is an honor to be your president,” President Trump said.

He then also praised the Declaration of Independence, the document signed in Philadelphia in 1776 that marked the break from the British Empire and the birth of the United States.

“The words of our Declaration caused an earthquake: they started a revolution that has never ended and that continues even today,” he said.

“American identity is under a new attack from domestic radicals and extremists and for this reason we could lose the midterm elections only if we behave like fools,” Donald Trump declared.

Speaking about the danger of communism, Trump said: “The Communist Party is made up of illegal immigrants, criminals and anyone who should not be working. Communism is a failure. It has always been a failure and it remains so. It is a total failure. Look at the people who promote it. On the eve of this 250th anniversary of American freedom, we declare and vow that America will never be a communist country.”

He added that, a generation after the Cold War, “we are seeing a return of this threat in our country, fueled also by those who have just arrived in the country and who embrace ideas completely opposed to our way of life.”

According to him, “communism represents a deadly threat to American freedom. It is the most serious threat our country has ever faced, even greater than the First and Second World Wars, Pearl Harbor or September 11.”

Trump added that communism is an “enemy of free peoples wherever they may be,” an “enemy of the Constitution” and an “enemy of July 4, 1776,” while also sharply criticizing those who, according to him, “stay silent about the dark history of communism.”

He also declared that this system “has caused more death and destruction than any other system in history,” mentioning that in the last century it “killed 100 million people.”

“Communist morality, without God, supports the idea that any means is justified to achieve its inhuman visions. It does not respect law, justice, tradition or God-given rights. It is an ideology built on theft, control, lies and mass murder,” he said.

At the end of the speech, Trump said that “you can be loyal to Karl Marx or to America, you can be a communist or a patriot, but you cannot be both,” closing a nearly 30-minute speech with applause.
