President Donald Trump was hoping to face off against Bernie Sanders instead of Joe Biden in the general election, but now thinks it’s “going to be very hard” for the Vermont senator to rebound after Super Tuesday’s results.

“Mentally, I was all set for Bernie, communist,” Trump said Thursday night at a Fox News town hall.

“And then we have this crazy thing that happened on Tuesday, which he thought was Thursday,” he said, referring to a Biden flub where he mixed up the day of Super Tuesday at a Monday campaign stop.

Trump said after watching the primary night results with first lady Melania Trump, he thought “it’s going to be very hard” for Sanders to win the Democratic nomination.

The former vice president won 10 states to Sanders’ four on Super Tuesday.

The president also said he thought Sanders would have been in better shape if Sen. Elizabeth Warren dropped out earlier in the week.

“If she’s a true progressive, which probably she is, she should have dropped out three days ago,” Trump said.

Trump said if Warren — who suspended her campaign Thursday — had bowed out earlier, Sanders “would have won a tremendous amount of states that he lost.”
