Sanders on Trump: 'This guy is a fraud
Washington (CNN) Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders accused President Donald Trump of falling short of commitments to middle-class voters, pointing to his Cabinet and senior advisers' ties to Wall Street.
"This guy is a fraud," Sanders told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday.
"This guy ran for president of the United States saying, 'I, Donald Trump, I'm going to take on Wall Street -- these guys are getting away with murder.' Then suddenly, he appoints all these billionaires," Sanders said.
Trump selected Steve Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs trader and hedge fund manager, as his treasury secretary nominee; Wilbur Ross, a billionaire former banker, to lead the Commerce Department; and Gary Cohn, a top Goldman Sachs executive, to lead his National Economic Council.
Trump begins dismantling Obama financial regulations
Sanders said Trump's Cabinet appointments and advisers directly contradict his pledge to re-institute the Glass-Steagall Act, a regulation that separated commercial and investment banks, which was repealed under Bill Clinton.
Trump signed an executive order on Friday that sets the stage for rewriting US financial regulation in an effort to encourage more lending to American businesses.
he White House also signaled a possible shake-up of the structure of financial regulators, especially the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Trump wrote that regulation must "restore public accountability," a backhand reference the CFPB, which some Republicans have painted as a rogue regulator that lacks oversight.
"He is a good showman, I will give you that -- he is a good TV guy," Sanders said of Trump. "But I think he is going to sell out the middle class, the working class, of this country."
"It is hard not to laugh to see President Trump alongside these Wall Street guys," Sanders said.

Convict Wasserman.
It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.
While I certainly agree with Sanders' assessment of Slump, in reality, he bears some responsibility for Hillary's loss.
If he had stayed out of the race to begin with, he wouldn't have ginned up so much hatred of her amongst his followers and some others, which might have made a difference.
He made it harder for her.
C'MON MAN!!!!
Really Miss?
Wasserman should be indicted.
What a weak POS candidate she chose.
A war monger, friend of Wall Street, Bilderberger.
Bernie was honest, experienced and worked on both sides of the aisle.
Trump would have had no chance against Bernie and it is the fools like you and the entire give the vagina a chance crew that caused Trump tobe elected. Now fucking own it bitches.

My, my.... such bitterness.
Bernie has the label SOCIALIST firmly tattooed across his forehead. Add to that his ridiculous promises of free college and free health care for everyone, there's not a chance in hell those blue collar voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin who handed the election to Dump would have gone for him instead.
You're just delusional if you think they would have.
And speaking of vaginas, sounds to me like you're the one who needs to put some soothing salve on your own.
Missy.
C'MON MAN!!!!
yes he did....Bernie Sanders calls Trump exactly what he is....
President Trump
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
