It seems like Trump is making the main communist country look pretty good.

He had his crap made there as well. But there he is telling us they've been eating our lunch for decades. Not bad for commies.

Those of us that wouldn't be afraid to be called democratic socialists are scolded for wanting our government to do good things for us, and he might get his ass kicked by actual communists!

RWNJ's and Trump will be the first to tell you (and frequently do) that Socialism and it's further-left cousin Communism are failures/proven unsuccessful ... yet here IQ45 is admitting ... Communism is kicking America's ass.

In this equation, it's not relevant how many US Democratic Socialists are legitimate Commies.
