He said, \u2018You know, really, we should use the word jihadist because that\u2019s what\u2019s happening.\u2019 If you take a look at what happens in other countries, I think that\u2019s not going to be necessarily the way we want to live,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks come as several Democrat primary contests have drawn scrutiny this cycle, including comments attributed to candidate Abdul El Sayed referencing an ayatollah that critics have called out of step with mainstream American politics, and Zohran Mamdani\u2019s comparisons of the party\u2019s socialist wing to Franklin D.

But they want to get rid of the Senate. They want to get rid of, ideally, the House, but they\u2019re thinking about maybe keeping the House. You know, isn\u2019t that nice?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without naming specific candidates, Trump said many of the party\u2019s rising figures have records of failure. \u201cThese are people that have been not successful. They\u2019re people that have been, in many cases, failures. They come from other failed countries, and they come here and they tell us how to run our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to accuse Democrat candidates of pushing to gut law enforcement and the military. \u201cPeople don\u2019t want to have radical lunatics involved in running our country, and that\u2019s what we have. We have people that are saying things that are so great. Now they\u2019re denying it, or they say, \u2018Well, I\u2019ve changed my mind.\u2019 They want to defund our police. They want to terminate our military. No military. We don\u2019t want any military in our country. We don\u2019t want our police to be paid anymore. They want our police down to like almost nothing,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/urbaneconomynews.com\/?p=1450\">Newly Released Text Messages Show Fauci Knew COVID Vaccines Would Cause Miscarriages, But Pushed the Shots Anyway<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump intensified his midterm messaging Monday, warning that the Democrat Party\u2019s 2026 primary cycle has produced a wave of candidates he\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
