President Donald Trump has ignited fresh controversy after sharing a video on Truth Social that calls for the criminalisation and deportation of Senator Bernie Sanders and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, dramatically escalating his attacks on democratic socialist politicians.
The video, created by conservative radio host Michael Savage, does more than criticise progressive policies. It repeatedly urges action against elected officials because of their political beliefs, making Trump's decision to amplify the message the centre of a growing political storm.
