U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Congress would become communist for the first time if Democrats won the election. Trump made the assessment in a speech at a Republican convention held in Dallas on September 10.
Trump said Democrats wanted books by Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin to be available in every library in the United States. He said Democrats advocated having children read and examine the books, and also claimed that the party had a Marxist orientation.

The U.S. president said that one of the Democratic Party’s leading congressional candidates described himself as a Marxist and said he hated family structures. Trump claimed that the unnamed person wanted to destroy the American way of life.
Trump did not identify the Democratic congressional candidate he was referring to.
