President Donald Trump took a few potshots at some of the Democrats running against him in the 2020 election during a Tuesday afternoon speech in Louisiana.
According to The Hill, the targets of Trump's verbal attacks were former Vice President Joe Biden; Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.; former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas; and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
"Boy, you got some beauties there – 350 million people and that's the best we can do? I don't think so," Trump said at the Cameron Liquified Natural Gas Export Terminal in Hackberry, south of Lake Charles.
Trump went on to poke fun at his Democratic challengers.
On Sanders:
"Bernie's crazy. But Bernie's got a lot more energy than Biden so you never know. . . . Bernie's got a lot of energy but it's energy to get rid of your jobs."
On Biden:
"I don't know what the hell happened to Biden. What happened to him? I'm looking, I said, 'That doesn't look like the guy I knew.'"
On Warren:
Trump called her "Pocahontas" and said she "is probably out."
On Buttigieg:
Trump sounded out his name as "Boot-edge-edge."
On O'Rourke:
"Beto's falling fast. What the hell happened? Remember about four weeks ago he said, 'I was made for this.' He was made for it. He was made to fall like a rock."
Two dozen candidates are vying for the Democratic nomination in next year's election, with Biden and Sanders leading most polls.
