> US President Donald Trump said he has never seen a happy communist, describing communists as unhappy people. At a rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, he pledged to defeat what he called a growing communist threat from the Democratic Party in the November midterms, and said he would welcome rule changes allowing him to run for a third time.
