'He lies all the time' - Bernie Sanders uses first Irish visit to lambaste Trump

Excerpt:

Bernie Sanders has used a public appearance in Dublin to lambaste the record of President Donald Trump telling the audience the US president "lies all the time."

The US senator said Trump's Budget proposals are "the ugliest and most destructive attack" every by an American president on the working class, middle class, and poor people of America.

He was loudly applauded during his address to a sold-out event at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre.

Before Sanders was welcomed on stage by McWilliams, the economist said "the magic of Bernie" resulted in tickets selling out in under five minutes, which was quicker than the selling out of the Katie Perry gig at the theatre.

is the way most of the civilized countries of the world would like to go. Of course they love him, he wants us all to be in good shape and helping each other. Somehow I just don't get how the other way of anger, frustration and hurt seems better to so many. At least this is a part of America that the rest of the world isn't laughing at. Trump's world is a laughing stock and one of complete horror to most people of the world.

Isn't it nice that we have one great person most of the rest of the world loves who is not only willing but able to communicate goodness throughout.

He was the one that would have turned it around, not part way or the tip toe way but started the big ball rolling. He would have spoken good will every day even when bad will was happening. He could have changed attitudes that keep us insanely moving toward dark skies and bombs.

I cannot go there again. I am just so glad he is doing what he does, and doing it his own way that somehow irritates so many here and makes them go insane for some unknown reason. Oh well. He is still out there doing his thing like him or not. I have to stop thinking about what might have been.

They share the blame for the coming destruction of this country.

My Bernie sticker is still proudly displayed on my front glass door.

I will never remove it.
