At a recent ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ rally, presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders had quite the reaction to news of President Trump’s strikes on Iran. As the news broke during his speech, Sanders’ facial expressions were a sight to behold.
“Bernie’s eyebrows nearly hit the roof when he heard about Trump’s latest antics,” said one rally attendee. “He looked like he was ready to fly to Iran himself and straighten things out.”
In a moment captured on video, Sanders can be seen shaking his head in disbelief before addressing the crowd. “Well folks, looks like Trump is up to his old tricks again,” Sanders quipped. “Maybe he should try diplomacy for a change, instead of playing cowboy with other countries.”
As the crowd erupted in cheers, Sanders continued to express his disapproval of Trump’s actions. “I mean, really, does he think this is a game of Risk or something? This is real life, folks, not a board game,” Sanders exclaimed.
As the rally came to a close, Sanders made a final plea to the American people. “We need a leader who values peace over war, diplomacy over aggression. We need someone who will fight for the people, not the oligarchs,” Sanders declared.
As the video of Sanders’ reaction went viral, social media exploded with memes and jokes at Trump’s expense. One user even photoshopped Sanders riding a unicorn into battle against Trump.
In response to the backlash, Trump tweeted, “I have the best strikes, believe me. Nobody strikes like me. #MakeIranGreatAgain.”
Only time will tell how Trump’s actions in Iran will play out, but one thing is for sure: Bernie Sanders will continue to fight for what he believes in, no matter what the president throws his way. And who knows, maybe he’ll even ride a unicorn into battle one day. #FeelTheBernicorn.
