Trump ridicules Democrat opponents at Vegas rally

President Donald Trump rallied supporters in the battleground state of Nevada on the eve of the state's caucuses, looking to exploit Democratic divisions as he focuses on his reelection fight.

Speaking to thousands of fans Friday at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Trump also rejected a fresh intelligence community assessment that Russia was seeking to interfere in the 2020 race just as it did in 2016 on Trump's behalf.

"Here we go again," Trump said, as the crowd booed. "Aren't people bored?"

The president speculated that Russian President Vladimir Putin would prefer Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders as president. "Wouldn't he rather have say, Bernie, who honeymooned in Moscow?" Trump said.

Ahead of the Nevada voting, Trump taunted the Democrats, taking specific aim at his newest opponent, former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

"We got a new one, Mini Mike. How did he do in the debate the other night?" Trump asked a cheering crowd. "He couldn't breathe. What happened? Mike would like to know."

The president also took on Elizabeth Warren, repeatedly calling her "Pocahontas," and using his latest nickname for Pete Buttigieg, "Alfred E. Newman," a character from Mad Magazine.

Trump was closing out a four-day, four-state political tour through the West that saw him hold three campaign rallies, a pair of high-dollar fundraisers and promote policies that benefited many of his supporters.
