Trump isn't in charge of his own mouth, let along a country. And, newsflash, you don't run a country like a spoiled rich, pouty, vindictive, bloviating "under the tail" idiot.

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch, Bernie is saying the same things, touting the same principles, working for ALL of the people to keep help get us out of our downward charge to oligarchy.

Posting it again...

Oligarchy (from Greek ὀ??????ί? (oligarkhía); from ὀ?ί??? (olígos), meaning "few", and ἄ??? (arkho), meaning "to rule or to command&quot [1][2][3] is a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small number of people. These people might be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, education, corporate, religious or military control. Such states are often controlled by a few prominent families who typically pass their influence from one generation to the next, but inheritance is not a necessary condition for the application of this term.

Throughout history, oligarchies have often been tyrannical, relying on public obedience or oppression to exist. Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich,[4] for which another term commonly used today is plutocracy.
