‘Nobody Can Be Like Us’: Trumps Praises America As ‘Glory’ Of The World, Condemns ‘Cancer’ Of Communism

President Donald Trump celebrated the nation’s 250th birthday Saturday night with a speech casting America as the envy of the world and warning that communism threatens its future.

Speaking to a crowd on the National Mall, Trump described the United States as a country no other could match. “For 250 years, the United States of America has been the hope, the promise, the light, and the glory among all of the nations of the world, all over the world. They try and be like us. Nobody can be like us,” he said.

The president spent part of his remarks attacking the political left. “Communism is a loser, and it always will be,” Trump said. He compared the ideology to a disease that demands removal, calling it “like a cancer. You got to cut it out, you got to cut it out fast.”

The warning followed a run of primary victories by candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America, NewsNation reported. Trump did not name those candidates Saturday, though he has branded them communists before, according to Reuters.

Trump also revived his push for tighter voting rules. “We want to keep America great, and we will do so by approving the Save America Act,” he said. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register and identification to vote, but it has stalled in Congress. “You won’t have cheating on the elections anymore, it’s very simple,” Trump said.
