Trump Declares 'Anti-Communism Week' in the US

Former US President Donald Trump issued a proclamation declaring the week of November 2-8 as 'Anti-Communism Week.' This move is an attack on his progressive opponents.

Trump, in a statement released by the White House, denounced communism as 'one of the most destructive ideologies in history.' He claimed that 'new voices are repeating old lies' using phrases like 'social justice' and 'democratic socialism,' referring to Zohran Mamdani, the newly elected mayor of New York.

Trump has already called Mamdani a 'communist' and argued that Americans face a choice between communism and common sense.

Presidential proclamations for days or weeks are primarily symbolic.
