Reference Message Network reported on April 9 that according to a report from Prensa Latina on April 6, U.S. Federal Senator Bernie Sanders reiterated on the 6th that under the leadership of the Trump administration, the United States is facing "unprecedented danger".

This senator sounded the alarm, pointing out that since Trump reassumed the presidency of the United States, surrounded by some billionaires, the United States is "rapidly moving towards oligarchy, which means we have a government managed by the billionaire class and serving the interests of the billionaire class".

This 83-year-old politician recently went on a tour for "fighting against oligarchy", encouraging grassroots people across the country.

Sanders told CBS News on the 6th that this situation "is something I have never seen in my life".

More than 30,000 people attended the rally held in Denver by Sanders and New York State Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on March 21st. When answering media questions, Sanders candidly admitted that he noticed the fear and anger among the public at present.

Sanders pointed out: "60% of people are living a life of hardship. The media does not talk about this issue, and we do not discuss it enough in Congress either."

He believed that it was not just a political struggle problem, but also a moral and constitutional crisis facing the United States.

Sanders said: "These people do not believe in the rule of law or the Constitution. So yes, I will take this matter very seriously." He also expressed great concern over the growing influence of Musk, a billionaire ally of Trump.

Sanders warned that when talking about oligarchy, the biggest concern for him was not just the huge inequality in income and wealth, nor just the power of the billionaire class. "I think that when we talk about the United States as a democracy, we should choose our words carefully," he said.

"The correct term should be 'pseudo-democracy'," Sanders said. "You only have one vote, while Musk can spend $270 million to help Trump get elected. Does this sound like democracy?" (Translated by Wang Meng)
