Senator Bernie Sanders returned to Chicago on Sunday to criticize the nation’s billionaires and label President Donald Trump as a “demagogue.” This visit is part of a tour aimed at supporting progressive candidates across the country. The timing coincides with Trump's threats to deploy the National Guard in Chicago, which local leaders have strongly opposed. During his visit, Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, emphasized the stark economic disparities in the country, particularly in healthcare, housing, and education. He placed the blame for these inequalities on the nation’s “oligarchs.”
