‘President Trump Was Right’: Bernie Sanders Slams MAGA Chief By Quoting The Man Himself

The progressive lawmaker shared a particularly relevant clip on social media showing the president opposing certain endeavors.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Monday praised President Donald Trump for objecting to any potential new U.S. wars in the Middle East, or rather, he noted that the MAGA leader said so previously — only to launch a war in the Middle East over the weekend.
“President Trump was right in 2020,” Sanders wrote on X while sharing a throwback clip of the president.
Trump, whose “America First” ethos of opposing foreign wars crumbled when he launched strikes Saturday on Iran and killed its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, decried in the April 2020 news briefing how many taxpayer dollars the U.S. has wasted on war.
“We’ve spent $8 trillion in the Middle East, and we’re not fixing our roads in this country?” Trump said in the clip. “How stupid — how stupid is that? And we’re not fixing our highways, our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, even, our schools, even? It’s crazy.”
Trump previously vowed to “drain the swamp” of corruption in Washington, D.C., and to “Make America Great Again” by opposing foreign conflicts and prioritizing domestic infrastructure projects.
