US President Donald Trump attacked Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg over his height and called Bernie Sanders “a communist” in his latest interview. While speaking to an American news channel at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Trump also targeted Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

When Sean Patrick Hannity, talk show host and conservative political commentator, asked Trump about his views on Bloomberg, the US President commented on the height of the businessman. He said that one “can be short” and there’s “nothing wrong” in it but Bloomberg wants a box for the debates to stand on. Trump then asked why the Democrat leader should be entitled to get a box to stand on. He further asked whether everyone else can get a box.
