MIAMI, Florida — President Donald Trump warned Americans that they face two options after Tuesday night’s election losses to Democrats: communism or common sense.
The president spoke on Wednesday at the America Business Forum, where he accused Democrats of purposefully blocking American progress. He touted the results of his administration thus far: lifting 600,000 Americans off food stamps, employing 1.9 million more American-born workers than the day he took office, more American workers than any time in the history of the United States, wages for factory workers up by $1,300, construction worker wages up to $2,200 dollars, Thanksgiving meals 25% lower than a year ago, egg prices down 85 percent, energy prices down, interest rates down, and more.
“Yet as we speak,” he warned, “the Democrats in Congress are trying to put all of this progress at risk — and drag us back to the Biden policies of soaring prices, crushing energy costs, massive spending, open borders, and rampant inflation.”
“The Radical Left Democrats are causing millions of Americans who depend on food stamps to go without benefits, they’re forcing federal workers to go without paychecks, and they are stranding thousands of travelers at the airports … All because they want to return to the failed Biden policies, and also Obama policies,” he warned the crowd, joking about former President Barack Obama’s criticisms of him.

“It is time for Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrat Congress to stop playing games with people’s lives — and pass a clean funding bill … and to reopen government immediately … they don’t like it to be reopen because we are setting records.”
Trump reflected on last night’s elections, in which Democrats won the mayoral seat in New York City and the governors’ seats in Virginia and New Jersey. Jay Jones, who fantasized about killing a Republican and his children, will now be the attorney general of Virginia. Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim socialist, is the next mayor of New York City.
“If you want to see what Congressional Democrats wish to do to America, just look at the results of yesterday’s election in New York — where their party installed a communist as the mayor of the largest city in the nation,” Trump warned, and in response, the audience booed aggressively.
The president joked that Miami, where he was speaking, would soon become the refuge of those fleeing New York City and Mamdani’s communist policies.
“After last night’s results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear—we have a choice between communism and common sense,” the president promised. Communism has not worked, the president insisted, pointing out that history shows this.
“They stand for crime, chaos, and corruption—we stand for law, order, and justice. They put America last—we put AMERICA FIRST. And as long as I am in the White House, the United States is not going communist in any way, shape, or form,” he promised.
Mamdani delivered remarks on Tuesday evening after he was declared the winner of the New York City mayoral election, taking shots at President Trump, calling the president a “despot,” and encouraging the president to turn the volume up if he was watching Mamdani’s remarks.
“If we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves,” he told his supporters. “After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him.”
