President Donald Trump on Saturday criticized what he described as a decade-long refusal by media outlets to acknowledge his political success, warning that Democrats have been overtaken by a faction he labeled communist.
In a series of social media posts, Trump argued that his repeated electoral victories had come despite relentless negative coverage and fake news. “I had to run against not one Candidate, but two, Sleepy Joe and Kamala, which has never happened before, against almost 100% negative press and Fake News,” he wrote.
“All I do is WIN, often against all odds.”
Trump stated that even after his election victory, critics immediately resumed attacking him rather than acknowledging the outcome. “There’s no, ‘Gee, he won, he did a great job!'” Trump noted.
He added that there was no recognition of his success: “There’s no saying, ‘Maybe we were wrong about him, the people were right’ or, maybe, ‘Congratulations, we wish you Great Success for our Country!’ No, but after I won the Election FOR THE THIRD TIME, the same people start immediately, all over again.”
He urged media outlets to concede defeat, writing: “Isn’t it time they say, ‘We give up, we can’t beat him’?”
Trump also claimed his victory demonstrated a public rejection of mainstream press. “With only bad Press and Fake News, I won the Presidential Election IN A LANDSLIDE,” he wrote. “Therefore, the Media has NO CREDIBILITY! If it did, that Historic Win would not have been possible.”
In another post, Trump warned that Democrats had abandoned traditional political positions for a more radical ideology. “I would often say America will never be a Socialist Country, and I was 100% correct,” he wrote.
“The Dumocrats skipped Socialism, and went all the way down to Communism. AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY!”
He expanded: “The Radical Left Lunatics, often referred to as Dumocrats, have lost control of their Party.”
Trump said he hoped Democrats would “fight back, and not let this sick, Communist ideology, take over America!” He closed by urging the media to abandon what he called years of unfair coverage, stating they should “gain the Respect which they have so sadly lost, and help, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
