Bernie Sanders, the senior United States senator from Vermont, recently ripped into President Donald Trump over the war with Iran, which has seen a largely unfavorable response from the people of the United States. While talking about the war in a recent interview, Sanders called the current President “a pathological liar” and an “authoritarian.”
Bernie Sanders speaks about Donald Trump and Iran war
In a new interview with MS Now, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who has been a long-time critic of the current regime, slammed President Donald Trump for his stance on the Iran War. He was asked in the interview what he thought about the war, given his experience in the Veterans Affairs Committee.
Sanders did not hold back as he criticized Donald Trump for waging a war that was proving to be costly for the people of the country.
“Look, we are living, as I think most people know, with a president who is a pathological liar,” Sanders began, “He is an authoritarian. What concerns most is wealth and power. I think he has very little empathy for his fellow human beings.”
Sanders continued, “And you’re quite right, it is extremely dangerous that a man like that is president of the United States.”
Suggesting the countermeasure to this, Sanders added, “And Chris, what we have got to do, I mean, is figure out why that happened and how we build a political movement of working people that ends Trumpism once and for all, starting in 2026.”
After touching on other topics, Sanders further spoke about the cost of the war on the common people in light of a reported $200 billion war supplemental request coming to the Senate.
Sanders said about this, “You’ve got people all over who can’t afford healthcare and can’t afford childcare. And this guy, in addition to giving tax breaks to billionaires, now wants to spend another 100 to 200 billion dollars on a war that should never have been fought. So I think, you know, clearly, the Trump people are in a bit of a panic.” He further added, “They are losing ground.”
The war continues to be a divisive topic across the United States.
