US President Donald Trump called Democratic candidates in the midterm elections 'jihadists'.

The fact is that jihadists are being elected everywhere, that's just the way it is
— Donald Trump, US President

Trump described the candidates as people who have failed. He stated they are people who have been, in many cases, losers.

The president claimed the candidates come from bankrupt countries. He cited countries not great, for example, from Somalia.

Trump previously described Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate in Michigan, as a 'communist' and a 'man of hate'.
