Trump sounds communism alarm in Michigan but doesn't mention El-Sayed
President Trump sounded the alarm over communism during a campaign-style stop in Michigan on Monday ahead of the state's Democratic Senate primary next week. Trump did not name Senate candidates Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) and Abdul El-Sayed during his rally in Milford, Mich., but he sought to paint Democrats broadly as 'communists.' The president referred to communism as 'the greatest threat to our country in history,' including World War I, World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor. 'We're running against communists now,' the president said. 'You see what they want to do? They want to take your houses. They want to do things that nobody's ever thought of before. They want to take your money. They want to raise your tax up to 80 percent.'
