Trump Tweets 'Putin Likes Me,' Calls Bernie Sanders 'Pathetic'

Donald Trump took to Twitter to express his views on recent events, such as the Democratic National Convention's email leak.  

Trump posted that he believes Democrats blamed the leaks on Russia because Russian president Vladimir Putin supports Trump.

The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should never have been written (stupid), because Putin likes me

Putin and Trump exchanged praise in 2015, according to Mother Jones. Putin called Trump "a very bright and talented man," and Trump said, "At least he's a leader, you know, unlike what we have in this country."

The New York Times reported that researchers found two Russian intelligence agencies breached the Democratic National Committee's email.

Trump rebuked the Democratic Party and the "biased media" in one tweet:

The Democrats are in a total meltdown but the biased media will say how great they are doing! E-mails say the rigged system is alive & well!

Then he criticized former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

Even though Bernie Sanders has lost his energy and his strength, I don't believe that his supporters will let Crooked Hillary off the hook!

Trump dismissed Sanders' following, and called him "somewhat pathetic" in another tweet.

There is no longer a Bernie Sanders "political revolution." He is turning out to be a weak and somewhat pathetic figure,wants it all to end!
