FACT FOCUS: Experts say Trump’s claims linking Democrats to communism are inaccurate

President Donald Trump has claimed Democrats are 'hardcore, godless Communists' if they win upcoming elections, but experts argue these claims are inaccurate. No U.S. Communist Party candidate has ever been elected to office, and while some Democratic factions support socialist ideas, they do not advocate communist principles like abolishing private property. Trump's rhetoric echoes past strategies to label opponents as communists.
