Feb UPDATE 2020!!!

On or about February 19, 2020, The Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reflecting as to topics discussed by Sen. Bernie Sanders on the presidential campaign trail painted a dismal portrait of the U.S.A. as a failing country – the yatollah compared it to the sinking Titanic and fueled by deep inequality amongst the citizenry. He left out the part about FARMERS being dumb that elite US politicians infer and sometimes blurt out. After all, many of them live in "fly-over" country, that vast, insignificant middle to East and West coast politicians.

Ayatollah:“Today, the US has created the façade of being on its feet,” This line came in a Twitter thread posted hours before the Democratic debate in Las Vegas, Nevada which Khamenei has called something like "PLATGROUND of the Great SATAN". “The truth is that with a $22k billion debt, the US has one of the largest debts in the world today, & the gap between social classes is wider than ever.”(Foreigners and G. Gordon Liddy call TRILLION - a thousand billion.).
.
Paraphrasing the words of still Senator-for-LIFE - Bernie Sanders:

“These aren’t my words, but the words of a member of the U.S. ruling body, He says over $100B has been added to the wealth of the 5 richest people in the US in the 3 years of Trump’s presidency. 3 of them own wealth equal to half the US population. Look at this social gap!”

Khamenei did not name Sanders outright, but the 2020 presidential candidate and “democratic socialist” from Vermont is on public record as stating that the wealth of the five richest people in the U.S.A has climbed higher over $100 billion since President Trump was elected.(This is Sanders' divide and conquor socialist methodology pitting and putting multitudes of poor in envy of and jealous of and against the wealthy and even the middle class (who pay a good deal of the taxes) for Senator Bernie Sanders' "all BUTTER and no guns" ideology. Democrats and Sanders - minimized the US military in many ways during 2008-2016 so that Trump has had to re-build the military while MANDITORY Congressional authorized spending like Obamacare and government paying for births and abortions - goes on since the US House is Democrat-controlled.

Despite Democrat and anti-Trump GOP obstacles - the US economy is IN HIGH GEAR with MORE EMPLOYMENT for EVERY KIND of American since DECADES AGO. Trump successes in BUILDING and getting manufacturing back to the U.S. of A. has caused unemployment to PLUNGE and while WAGES INCREASE from sea to shining sea - for the first time in years. The main reason why Hillary Rodem Clinton LOST in 2016 was because of the "tanking and debt-ridden U.S. economy" of 2008-2016 that the media does not like to elaborate on. Some of them knowingly or unknowingly - embrace that Cloward-Piven wreck-Titanic-America strategy so very prevalent during that time. Bold (but clothed not streaking) reporters - mentioned this as if it was an accident or incompetence way of the guy-before-Trump Admintration. Some  millions of Americans (and others) - were getting "Food Stamps" AKA "Food Debit Cards,etc". Nowadays after three years of Trump ( the Cheeto BLEEP is he?) even reporters and journalistic writers - are not overly cautious and afraid to email and phone their leakers and contacts inside the U.S. government which has quite a few of leakers, hold-over Obamites, and we-like-you-being-ne'er-do-wells - types. Trump's "guy he was replacing" - was well-known and notorious for getting reporters' PHONE RECORDS - sometimes without their permission. Snoop, snoop, do-ah-shooby dooby! Now some of these same ladies and gentlemen daily criticize Trump "for breathing and texting in self-defense" and want to "pit Trump's people" against him any which way they can. Rumours and inuendoes are NOT part of who, what, when, where and how much that is the oft-repeated-catch-phrase-motto of journalism but the stuff of Hollywood tell-all-book writers. PSST...haven't you heard...professors sometimes start a fact or statistic with a whisper which is whispered to another student who passes it along to another and so forth. By the time the whole class has heard the fact or statistic - it has evolved into a scandalous tidbit, too saucy for print media at times. This is NOT limited to "psychology classes" in college! Teachers formerly mentioned to high school students
that statistics can be manipulated into "white lies" and even blatant falsehoods. Perhaps these teachers were too rare.

Sanders has also often called notice to "revelations" in a 2017 report by the left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies (I.P.S.)that America’s three richest individuals – Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett – have a combined higher net worth than the 160 million least wealthy Americans out of 338 million plus. He left out billionaires like Mike the Spike Bloomburg and Mark Cuban with his paltry, picayune 4.1 billion dollars and Oprah Winfrey's measly, scrawny - 3.5 billion dollars. Another name that comes to mind is Woopie Goldberg but she is reportedly worth "only" 45 million dollars. Lots of Hollywood stars representing liberal left philosophies are only worth a few million dollars. Some are too busy to kick back and relax in their mansions, poor denizens having to stay in "high dollar" Tenseltown!

Bernie Sanders "rusty nailed" the point again in his epilogue and lengthy closing statement at the "over-candidated" Democrat debate held in Las Vegas, Nevada. Some people hold that should a presidential candidate STILL poll single digits after three or more debates - they should be all smiley by the pool, sipping an adult beverage instead of attacking a guy who got into the debate late because of high spending on political ads.

By the Way, (BTW), many people around the world - are left wondering why Jeff Bezos is not using his 10 billion dollars to run late for President of These United States (POTUS)? It's STILL early Jeff Bezos - why not "make the plunge" instead of being all smiley by the pool with an adult beverage?
