Trump shares meme of Dem convention as communist

On Sunday, former President Donald Trump shared a meme depicting the Democratic National Convention (DNC) as a communist rally. The meme, shared on X, depicts a woman standing at a podium in front of a large crowd.

The woman, presumably Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, stands before an assembly of people waving red flags. A large banner reminiscent of the former Soviet Union's flag hangs above those in attendance.

Politico's Playbook addressed this as "Trump's red scare," quoting him from his rally on Saturday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, saying that Harris had gone “full communist.”

“After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price control,” he said. “Never worked before. Never ever worked. This is the [NICOLÁS] MADURO plan, Venezuela, Maduro plan.”

Politico wrote that Trump "drove home the point with a Trumpian twist: He linked to a fabricated picture of Harris looking out over a fictional Chicago convention hall seeped in red, with the crowd underneath a hammer-and-sickle banner."
