Bernie Sanders, 83, Accuses Trump of Betraying America’s Democratic Legacy
Former U.S. presidential aspirant Bernie Sanders has issued a strong rebuke of President Donald Trump, accusing him of undermining the country’s democratic foundations and steering the nation toward authoritarianism.
In a statement, Sanders highlighted the sacrifices made by millions of Americans to uphold democracy, warning that Trump’s actions are a direct betrayal of the Founding Fathers’ vision.
“The Founding Fathers of this country created the longest-standing democracy on earth, and millions of Americans fought and died to preserve it,” Sanders said.
“Trump is betraying their vision and moving us toward authoritarianism.”
Urging Americans to resist any threats to democracy, Sanders called for unity and resilience. “Stand tall. Defend democracy. We will win,” he declared.
