Bernie Sanders slammed President Trump on Twitter, saying his recent tweets attacking the courts and the media show that he “clearly does not understand what our Constitution is about.”

The Vermont Senator and  former Democratic presidential candidate was responding to tweets Donald Trump had sent Thursday.

RT reports:

Trump used all-caps to respond to the decision by the ninth circuit court of appeals to uphold a temporary hold on the president’s controversial travel ban on members of seven Muslim-majority countries. He wrote: “SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!”

He also posted a graphic version of the tweet to his Instagram account.

“A president who attacks a judge who rules against him as a “so-called judge” clearly does not understand what our Constitution is about,” Sanders wrote, referring to the tweet Trump sent on February 4 in response to Judge James Robart’s decision to issue a nationwide injunction against Trump’s travel ban. In that tweet, the president said the “so-called” judge’s opinion was “ridiculous.”

Sanders also highlighted Trump’s multiple attacks on the media, saying: “A president who attacks media that makes critical remarks about him as ‘fake news’ does not understand what democracy is about.”

Trump lashed out at the New York Times on Thursday, accusing the newspaper of writing “fake news” in its claim that Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping had not spoken since November.

  1. Different Names – Same Masters: The David Icke Dot-Connector, by David Icke…………. check this one out, he has a point.

  2. No, Bernie Sanders, it’s YOU who doesn’t understand the Constitution. When judges issue rulings that they have no constitutional authority to do, it is the responsibility of not only the POTUS, but ALL citizens to protest in the manner that Mr. T. did (not the way the “snowflakes” do).

  3. Bernie being a socialist certainly does not know the constitution. So he can keep his mouth shut. It’s a shame that he almost beat Hillary. Says a lot about the way this country is heading. Socialism does not in any way reflect American values. It has failed in every country it was established, usually ending up giving way to communism!

  4. I’m sorry Bernie Sanders I can’t hear you… it sounds like you’re gagging on something…

    I really can’t understand you while the DNC is pounding your mouth hole… please talk when your mouth is less full…

  5. I do not agree with sanders much, but he is right… Trump has NO CLUE about the Constitution… He has threatened private companies and legalized green card holders… what part of unconstitutional does his followers not understand?
