Donald Trump is still unhappy with Fox News over the Bernie Sanders town hall, and now he’s accusing the network of keeping his supporters out.
Bret Baier noted last night that the crowd was a mix of “a lot of Democrats,” as well as “Republicans, independents, Democratic socialists, [and] conservatives.”
This morning POTUS remarked upon how “strange” the town hall was, but tonight he accused Fox News of keeping his supporters out and keeping the venue “stuffed with Bernie supporters.”
Many Trump Fans & Signs were outside of the @FoxNews [1] Studio last night in the now thriving (Thank you President Trump) Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, for the interview with Crazy Bernie Sanders. Big complaints about not being let in-stuffed with Bernie supporters. What’s with @FoxNews [1]?

It’s unclear where the president is getting this from. Reports on the town hall noted some Trump supporters protesting outside, but don’t mention complaints about not being let in.
In addition to taking shots at Fox News, Trump also blasted Senator Sanders.
Trump swiped at “Crazy Bernie” this morning in his first tweet about the town hall, and tonight he ripped the Vermont senator over his tax returns:
Bernie Sanders and wife should pay the Pre-Trump Taxes on their almost $600,000 in income. He is always complaining about these big TAX CUTS, except when it benefits him. They made a fortune off of Trump, but so did everyone else – and that’s a good thing, not a bad thing!

Trump also tweeted he thinks his 2020 opponent will either be “Crazy Bernie” or “Sleepy Joe Biden,” weirdly adding at the end “May God Rest Their Soul!”
I believe it will be Crazy Bernie Sanders vs. Sleepy Joe Biden as the two finalists to run against maybe the best Economy in the history of our Country (and MANY other great things)! I look forward to facing whoever it may be. May God Rest Their Soul!

Sanders’ Twitter account posted in response that Trump sounds “scared.”
Looks like President Trump is scared of our campaign. He should be.
