What was said

"So on the eve of this 250th anniversary of American heritage, we resolve and swear for all to hear that the citizens of the United States of America will vanquish communism quickly. Don't let them take too much of your time. You know they're wasting your time, don't you? But we're not going to let them take too long or too much of our time as they play their games. and send them into exile."

President Trump made an unprecedented pledge to vanquish communism and send its advocates into exile from America during his Mount Rushmore address. The declaration came amid rising concern about democratic socialist politicians winning elections in New York, Denver, and other cities. Trump framed the fight against communism as essential to preserving American freedom for future generations.
