President Trump bashed Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in his first interview with a Spanish-language television network, suggesting both men look tired on the campaign trail.
Trump was asked by Telemundo anchor José Díaz-Balart about who he would prefer to face in the 2020 election. Trump declined to speculate, but offered his thoughts on Biden and Sanders, two of the frontrunners in most polls.
"Bernie looks like he's had it," Trump said. "Bernie looks crazy, but he always did. But he looks like a tired crazy right now."
"Joe Biden, he looks like he's just exhausted. I don't know what happened to him but he is exhausted and he doesn't do any work, he's not working," Trump continued. "One thing I found out about this job, to do it right, and I've done it right — you have to work hard."
Trump frequently derides Sanders and Biden, but has previously taken aim at the latter over his stamina, suggesting the former vice president has slowed down with age and is "mentally weak" despite Biden being just a couple years older than him.
Trump just turned 74, while Biden is 76 and Sanders is 77.
The preview clip of the interview was conducted in English. The president's full Telemundo interview is scheduled to air Thursday evening. The network teased on Twitter that Díaz-Balart would ask Trump about his rhetoric toward Latinos, his views on Mexico and the separation of migrant families.
Thank God Obama was lazy. Imagine the damage he could have done if he had President Trump’s energy!
President Trump does not leave any “free money” on the table.
Will going on a Spanish station help him? Who knows but it may help and does not cost him anything and it may expose him to some who otherwise not get to see he is not the “monster” the left portrays him as being.
Chronological age is not always a true example of how “old” someone is.
Trump is the younger of the three but not by much yet he both looks and has the energy of a man 15 or more years younger than either of his adversaries.
I hope Trump brought his own interpreter.
I wouldn’t trust Spanish language media any
further than I could throw a Mariachi Band.
Bernie had his chance in 2016. Why would Democrats support him, when he dropped out?
He was forced out by Hillary's machine controlling the Democrat party's "superdelegates."
He didn’t them.
