Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) criticized President Donald Trump for his actions toward Wall Street, saying that he’d abandoned the populist rhetoric he used while on the campaign trail. “You know, it is hard not to laugh to see President Trump alongside these Wall Street guys,” Sanders told CNN’s Jake Tapper. This guy is a fraud.”During the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump repeatedly attacked his rival, Hillary Clinton, for her ties to Wall Street, promising to “drain the swamp” in Washington. “This guy ran for president of the United States saying, ‘I, Donald Trump, I’m going to take on Wall Street. And now he is going to dismantle legislation that protects consumers.”“This is a guy who ran for president saying, ‘I’m going ― I’m the only Republican, I’m not going to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid,’” Sanders continued.
