What was said

"I'd be the greatest communist in history. I'd give free rent. Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, you don't have to pay any rent. From now on, anybody wants a house, don't worry about it. Just pick the house you want. Everybody gets free food. Everything is free from this point forward. Everyone's going to vote for me. The problem is, after 2 or 3 years, the country is a disaster area. The country fails. They always do. It always does. You'll suffer or die. This is what happens. For thousands of years, it's been happening by different names."

President Trump delivered a stark warning about communist policies like rent control being implemented by newly elected officials in New York City and California. He argued that while such policies are initially popular, they inevitably lead to national collapse, economic disaster, and widespread suffering or death within a few years. Trump positioned himself as someone who could easily sell communist ideas but understands their destructive consequences.
