President Trump gave his prediction on which two candidates he believes the Democratic race for the party’s nomination will be between.
Among the crowded field, the president said he thought it would ultimately be a contest between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former Vice President Joe Biden, who hasn’t even officially entered the race.
“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)!” he wrote. “I look forward to facing whoever it may be. May God Rest Their Soul!”

Sanders appeared to respond to the tweet, writing that it "Looks like President Trump is scared of our campaign. He should be."

Trump seemed fully confident that he would defeat any Democratic challenger and later retweeted a message from Turning Point USA founder and president Charlie Kirk about the ostensibly insurmountable obstacles Trump faced when he ran in 2016.
"It is miraculous that Trump not only beat the Bush dynasty, 16 Republicans, the FBI, the media, voter fraud cheaters, the political class, Clinton dynasty, the Obamas, the elites in BOTH parties, but he also beat tech companies that used their platforms to try and beat him," Kirk tweeted.
