5. Demagogues (as Bernie calls Trump) take advantage of economic hardship.

Trump is turning their anger against “scapegoats” such as Latinos and Muslims, Sanders said, while he believes the problem lies with “corporate greed and Wall Street.”

“Here is the reality. The American people have a right to be angry,” he said during an interview before the start of his 1:30 p.m. rally.

“What Trump is doing is what demagogues have done before – scapegoat another group of people,” said Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont who is running an insurgent bid for the Democratic nomination.

he is not the first RW demagogue to take advantage of people's economic insecurity nor will he be the last.
