Even Trump's fans aren't buying his scaremongering threats: analyst
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump is now trying to paint Vice President Kamala Harris as a "communist" in his latest attacks — but even his own supporters aren't taking seriously the threat that communism could take over the United States, columnist Philip Bump wrote for The Washington Post. "Trump’s branding skills might be overstated, but he has made red baseball caps an unusually potent political signifier," wrote Bump. It’s interesting, then, to see Trump lean into the idea that the nation faces a new communist threat — one that even his supporters aren’t convinced exists." And Trump himself probably doesn't even mean to be taken literally when he says "communism," noted Bump — rather, he just means she'll govern as a left-wing authoritarian.
