Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont lashed out at the Trump Administration, alleging that Americans are now living in an oligarchy after seven of the wealthiest people on Earth became $210 billion richer within 24 hours, and 'not last week' or over the 'past decade.'
The massive wealth surge in such a short span happened as millions of American families struggled to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare, and gas amid surging inflation, jobs market uncertainty, and geopolitical volatility. Sanders highlighted this worsening situation, while highlighting in a recent social media that the US economy is 'insanely rigged.'
