If you were wondering how
President Trump would attack each of the top
Democrats who might face off against him in November,
Fox News host
Sean Hannity saved you the trouble. In an interview that aired before the
Super Bowl on Sunday, Hannity asked Trump what "comes to your mind" when he read the names of various
Democratic contenders. Former Vice President
Joe Biden was "sleepy," Sen.
Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was a "fairy tale," and Michael Bloomberg was "little."Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who draws his inspiration from European-style democratic socialism, got "communist," in part because he and his wife, Jane, took their "honeymoon" in the Soviet Union in 1988. Trump has his own odd relationship with
Russia, and his answer appeared to reflect that, too. "I think he's a communist," Trump told Hannity. "I mean, you know, look, I think of communism when I think of Bernie. Now, you could say socialist, but didn't he get married in Moscow? And that's wonderful,
Moscow is wonderful.""Might have been his honeymoon, I'm not sure." Hannity said. "Well, whatever," Trump continued "But you don't necessarily think in terms of marriage, Moscow. And it's wonderful. I'm not knocking it, but I think of Bernie sort of as a socialist but far beyond a socialist."If you are curious about Trump's other word-association attacks on some of the leading Democrats, you can read the transcript below.
