In an interview on MSNBC, Sanders was asked to weight on Trump’s first year in office.

“Has it really only been one year?” Sanders joked. “I thought it was about 16 years.”

Sanders, who has been one of the most outspoken critics of Trump in Congress, slammed Trump for not following through on campaign promises.

“We have a president … who is a pathological liar,” Sanders said. “[He] ran on a populist campaign, he said, ‘healthcare for everybody,’ he’s going to stand up to Wall Street, He’s going to stand up to the drug companies– he lied.”

Sanders added that he thinks it is an “embarrassment” to have Trump as president.

“I think it is an international embarrassment, we have a president who has driven the respect that this great country has all over the world down lower than it has ever been,” he said.

New survey data from Gallup found that global approval of U.S. leadership sank to its lowest point in nearly two decades in 2017, with the median approval of U.S. leadership at only 30 percent, down 18 points from the previous year.
