Trump Thinks Bernie Sanders Will Run 'In A Wheelchair'


TRUMP THINKS BERNIE SANDERS WILL RUN AGAINST HIM ‘IN A WHEELCHAIR’ IN 2020

BY JESSICA KWONG ON 12/9/17 AT 3:35 PM

President Donald Trump forecasted that Bernie Sanders would run against him in 2020 “even if he’s in a wheelchair,” and mocked the Vermont senator by imitating a scrunched-up body.

Trump expressed that opinion over the summer when he invited four Democratic lawmakers to the White House, and also asked, “Who is going to run against me in 2020? Crooked Hillary? Pocahontas?” the New York Times reported on Saturday.

At 70 years old, Trump was the oldest president to be inaugurated in the U.S. Trump, now 71, is nearly five years younger than Sanders, who would turn 79 in 2020. But Sanders’s wife Jane in June said that the senator was actively advocating for policies benefiting the working class and that his age wasn’t a factor.

“Ageism is the last ‘ism’ that seems to be acceptable to people, and I never felt that it was whether somebody was too young or too old,” she told the New York Times. “You win some. You lose some. And you keep on going and maybe you can win the next one.”

Trump rode golf cart while G7 leaders walked through Sicily

President Trump chose to ride in a golf cart while his foreign counterparts took a walk through Taormina, Sicily, on Saturday during the Group of Seven summit.

The Times of London reported the six other world leaders — from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — walked 700 yards to take a group photo at a piazza in a hilltop town. The U.S. leader decided to wait until he could get a golf cart.

If the course includes a set of stairs, my money's on Bernie.

That's the only think I can imagine that would lead to Bern ending up in a wheelchair.

Whatever else you can say about him, the junior senator from Vermont hasn't shown the slightest sign of physical frailty.
