The endorsement lands amid a broader effort by Trump and his Republican allies to brand Democrats as communists following primary wins by democratic socialists in New York and elsewhere, according to The Guardian. Trump has made that accusation distinct, telling an audience that communism is “the exact opposite of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” according to theguardian.

The language echoes Trump’s Fourth of July messaging. Speaking during the 250th anniversary of American independence, Trump declared that “the United States will never become a communist country” and said “communism has been a loser and will always be a loser,” according to asiae.co.kr. He also likened communism to a cancer that “must be cut out quickly,” according to asiae.co.kr.

Some analysts tie the rhetoric to the midterm elections in November, arguing Trump is seeking to rally his conservative base by labeling opponents as communists, according to asiae.co.kr. The vilification of communists could also shift focus away from pocketbook issues such as higher gas prices and inflation, according to theatlantic.

The post shows a 3D rendering of the hardcover, marketed as a New York Times bestseller. The cover depicts the Statue of Liberty in red with a skull for a head, holding a scope-mounted rifle and raising a clenched fist above a red-tinted New York skyline.
