The statements from Trump are even more remarkable when compared to the content in the video, which is nothing more than a pro-government appeal that contains no call to defy him and no suggestion of disobedience beyond the duty to refuse an illegal order.

Never before in American history has a sitting president spoken the way Donald Trump did this week. Not even during the Civil War did Abraham Lincoln demand the execution of the political leaders of the Confederacy.

A genuine socialist doesnt make nice with a fascist who is murdering people on the high seas and dragging children out of schools and churches. Trump just issued death threats against some of your colleagues!
Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.
