Sen. Bernie Sanders Labels Pres. Trump a ‘Delusional President’

Sen. Bernie Sanders called Donald Trump, the new commander-in-chief of the US, “delusional” last Thursday outside the Senate Democratic retreat that was convened in West Virginia. According to him, the country is facing enormous problems as of the moment and everybody, even those living outside the US, is aware of this fact. Yet, the country is being led by a delusional president. “(Trump) is way out of touch with the needs of the working people all over this country,” said Sanders.

Sen. Sanders, together with Senate Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren, marched alongside people rallying outside the retreat venue. Both urged the crowd to incessantly fight against the President and the GOP for exerting efforts to repeal the country’s Affordable Care Act.

He stated in an interview that there is a way to beat Republicans and that is through a tremendous grassroots effort. The senator added that they had seen the impact of united grassroots efforts, especially from the Women’s March that was held a day after President Trump’s inauguration.

Women’s March drew hundreds of thousands of people to protest against the President, and the protest even outnumbered the attendance of Trump’s inaugural address. On the same interview, Sanders said that the GOP government has to be challenged around the clock, and that everyone should fight back instead of just whine and whimper.

“The Republicans have the power in Washington. They have the Senate. They have the White House, so it is now up to us,” added Sen. Warren.

Senate Democrats held a retreat in West Virginia as they face a battle to block GOP’s efforts in repealing the Affordable Care Act. Senate’s top Democrat, Sen. Charles Schumer, claimed that the Democrats have a 50-50 shot in putting a stop to the repeal but only with GOP’s support.
