Bernie Sanders: "Trump is the most dangerous president in United States history"
In an exclusive interview with El País, Senator Bernie Sanders labels President Trump as the most dangerous leader in U.S. history, criticizing his actions and calling on American citizens to resist authoritarianism.
In a recent exclusive interview with El País, Senator Bernie Sanders expressed his strong opposition to President Trump, referring to him as the most dangerous president in the history of the United States. Sanders, a prominent figure in the left-wing of global politics, raised serious concerns about Trump's administration, particularly highlighting his use of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency as what Sanders describes as a 'domestic army.' This metaphor underscores Sanders' view that Trump is employing federal agencies to instill fear and exert control over American citizens.
Sanders further emphasized the importance of active citizen participation in safeguarding democracy, asserting that 'it will have to be the American people who say no to authoritarianism.' He believes that Trump's recent actions, including urging Republicans to seize control of state election processes, undermine the constitutional framework that ensures fair electoral practices. Sanders views these developments as alarming signs of a drift towards authoritarian governance.
The interview also painted a vivid backdrop of Sanders' everyday reality as he navigates the political landscape amid the ongoing upheaval of Trump's presidency. The Capitol, where Sanders conducted the interview, symbolizes both American democracy and the ongoing tensions caused by Trump's controversial leadership style. With landscapes covered in snow and constant political turmoil, Sanders remains committed to rallying support against what he sees as a significant threat to democratic norms and values in the United States.
