  "account": "President Donald Trump has repeatedly labeled Democrats as communists, even as he prepares to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping, the leader of a communist nation, to the United States. Trump has argued that Democrats' election victories could lead America to become a communist country. He has cited their winning primaries in several states as evidence. Meanwhile, the administration has taken large stakes in various private companies, drawing criticism from Republicans who perceive this as government intervention in the economy. The contradictions in Trump's rhetoric and actions have left Republicans struggling to present a clear contrast with Democrats.",
