McCarthyism is assimilated to witch hunt because of similarity with historical witch hunts.

The 5 dates cited opposite represent different witch hunts. Indeed, the majority of his witch hunts evoke witchcraft, the Red Scare and mass hysteria. First of all, between 1655 and 1663 the witch trials of New York, formerly New Netherland, took place. These trials were probably influenced by popular convictions such as witchcraft. This witch hunt clearly shows the dangers and consequences of mass hysteria and witchcraft superstitions. Then, in 1662, partly in the same time as the New York witch trials, the Hartford Witch Hunt took place in Connecticut. This witch hunt took place in the form of many trials. These trials reflected the fear of witchcraft that existed during the colonial epoch. And, we even know that many people have been accused of practicing witchcraft, and some have been found guilty. In fact, this witch hunt once again represented mass hysteria. These witch events therefore are a big reference when we think of witch hunts in the United States in the 17th century.Moreover, the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts are the most famous in the history of witch hunts. Many people were accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem which led to trials, sentence, executions and even hangings. And, the madness is such that some people have been burned at the stake, it's so crazy!Futhermore, McCarthyism is very often described as witch hunts. Accusations without solid proof are very present: people targeted during this period are accused of communist sympathy. Mass hysteria is also very present and has caused red scare and paranoia towards communism. Many similitude in addition to those cited show the destructive impact of McCarthyism and shed light on this dark period in American history.Finally, Donald Trump used the expression witch hunt to describe certain investigations against him. He very often used this term to denounce these investigations which he considered politically incorrect. But, in this case, the use of "witch hunt" is subjective and varies depending on political viewpoints. The use of this expression is, in my opinion, used to discredit the investigations against him.
