Bernie Sanders says U.S. under Trump is facing "unprecedented level of danger"

Ever since President Trump took office, surrounded by some of the richest men in the world, Senator Bernie Sanders has been sounding the alarm: "This country today faces an unprecedented level of danger, something that I've never seen in my lifetime," he said. "We are a nation that is moving rapidly toward oligarchy, which means that we have a government run by the billionaire class, for the billionaire class."

"You've had this consistent message for a long time; is there more urgency now in this moment?" I asked.

"I think there is," Sanders replied. "And in many ways, I suppose, you can thank Elon Musk and Trump for that."
