Sanders: Trump is 'delusional,' says he could move US into 'authoritarian mode'

[n2doc]

Washington (CNN)Sen. Bernie Sanders says he doesn't like calling President Donald Trump "delusional" -- but believes the President's actions call for it.

Sanders told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront" Friday that although he is considerably more to the left than many of his fellow senators, he has never "just attacked people because their views are different than mine."

But Sanders said Trump, whom he called "a total hypocrite," put everyone in "a new era."

"I use the term 'delusional' with regard to Trump when he said there were 3 to 5 million 'illegals' who voted in the last election ... That is delusional," Sanders said. "Nobody in the world believes that is the case. There is zero evidence to back it up. But he makes that statement. So I think the word 'delusional' is correct."

1. And a thousand other reasons why he is exactly that.

8. Here's another

Pootie says nice things about him so he just assumes it's real and thinks he's his friend and doesn't even consider he's just being played by the master spy.

2. That most Republicans

don’t take issue with the fact Trump is a liar is as sad as it is disturbing – and of course comes as no surprise.

[padfun]

6. That would assume that Republicans are honest to begin with

They have been involved in their own created lies that this isn't too far removed from their norm.

3. Well, that is one word.

Another one is INSANE. He is obviously not normal, even by republican standards. Sad part is, he is representing the USA on the world stage!! We went from CLASS with President Obama, to CRASS with the loofa faced shitgibbon.

[secondwind]

4. I conjured up that phrase myself yesterday... from class to crass...

5. Trump is a crazy asshole

who surrounds himself with crazy assholes.

[Grammy23]

10. Actually, there is a medical term for his problem: Narcissistic Personality Disorder

He more than likely has some version of this psychological malady. He fits every single check list of symptoms I have ever seen. Whether he has ever had a full psychological or psychiatric evaluation or not, he has a long track record, played out on a public platform to evaluate his behavior. Many people who have interacted with him in business, socially and personally have commented on what those interactions were like. The picture they present is not good. And then we have months and months of his presidential campaign, interviews he gave and of course, his Twitter account.

Long story short: we have a man in our highest elected office who suffers a serious psychological disorder and has for most if not all of his life. He has probably committed criminal acts as a result. The elephant in the room is HOW MUCH LONGER will this be allowed by the American people and the authorities who can intervene to stop him before he causes permanent harm to our nation?

13. Yes, he is a narcissist. The very best.

[msanthrope]

7. Well, Bernie, be proud of your efforts. nt

9. I've had it with Trump's S&M and golden showers fantasies.

This sick fuck needs to be isolated from the levers of power before he does any more damage.

11. back to the stone age

or the wild west

[heaven05]

12. yep

president bannon and boy-potus who would be king are doing this very thing...being delusional, yet still setting up their dictatorship.

14. "Authoritarian" - so overused as to have lost its meaning when it actually applies.
