Donald Trump constantly comments on the race for the Democratic nomination, multiplying the derogatory nicknames to lower his possible adversaries of November. Vermont independent senator Bernie Sanders is regularly called "Bernie the crazy" by the President of the United States. As in 2016, when the elected official competed with the favorite in the Democratic nomination race Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump can also stand up for the senator, to denounce the alleged corruption of the designation system of the Democratic Party.

The President of the United States warned Bernie Sanders against fraud twice, on January 22 and 23. "The crazy Bernie takes the lead in the Democratic primaries, but it seems increasingly clear that the Democrats will never allow him to win! Joe (Biden) will the sleeping person be able to cross the finish line? ", commented on the president on his Twitter account.

A week earlier, at a time of great tension between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts senator, also a nomination contestant, President Donald Trump had come to the rescue of the senator. Elizabeth Warren had indeed accused Bernie Sanders of telling her privately that a woman could not win the presidential election in November. The elected official from Vermont had denied. "I don't think Bernie said that. I really don't think so "said Trump to his supporters during a campaign rally, "It's not the kind of thing he would say".

This support is not disinterested. The president hopes to widen the democratic divisions, considering that they helped him to win in 2016. The more moderate democrats fear that Bernie Sanders, very anchored on the left, will have trouble building a solid coalition in the presidential election. But they also fear that supporters of the Vermont senator will shun the polls if someone other than him is appointed to challenge the outgoing president.
