What do you mean by this? Are you saying Trump is a secret communist?

They asked what you think it means. Please say something about that.
How on Earth is it a silly question to ask what you mean by "TЯ☭mp?"
Incredible, do you make it a point to be obtuse or is that accidental?
That you're trolling? Sure.
Go back to reddit.
We don't use Reddit. You'll never have to talk to us again if you leave.
So. Why are you here?
If Trump was a communist, that would be nice, but no, I genuinely don't know what you're saying here.
I'd guess that either they think communism = all things bad (because they have no clue what communism is), or they think Trump is on Putin's side and they didn't notice that Russia hasn't been communist for 35 years now. The most charitable reading is that they think Trump is authoritarian and that the USSR was not so much communist as an authoritarian dictatorship despite its communist rhetoric. That last one is at least debatable, but it requires more nuance than is probably there in sticking a hammer and sickle in the middle of Trump's name.
The USSR was a socialist country, and was democratic, so I really don't know what to make of their comment to be honest.
Well, when you refuse to answer direct questions about what you mean, you're going to see a lot of interpretation. You could try being less of an ass.
