Trump Is a ‘Pathological Liar,’ Says Bernie Sanders

The Senator says worldwide respect for the US has never been lower.

Senator Bernie Sanders has commented that US President Donald Trump is a “pathological liar.”

The erstwhile presidential candidate was asked on MSNBC to sum up the first 12 months of Mr Trump’s term. Mr Sanders joked: “Has it really only been one year? I thought it was about 16 years.”

He said that Mr Trump was an “embarrassment” to the country and that he lied on the campaign trail about what he would do while in office.

Mr Trump “ran on a populist campaign, ‘health care for everybody,’ he’s going to stand up to Wall Street, he’s going to stand up to the drug companies — he lied,” said Mr Sanders with frustration in his voice.

Mr Sanders commented that the US is no longer respected around the world as it had been under former President Barack Obama and previous administrations because of Mr Trump. He said regard for the US is “down lower than it has ever been.”
