President Trump used a taxpayer-funded trip to mock his potential 2020 Democratic rivals, The Hill reports.
“Speaking at a liquified natural gas facility near Lake Charles, La., Trump singled out former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).”
Said Trump: “Boy, you got some beauties there. Three hundred fifty million people and that’s the best we can do. I don’t think so.”
