"Crazy Bernie is right up there with Trump's great nickname for Nancy Pelosi: Nancy," one person tweeted.

President Donald Trump once again resorted to name-calling as he passive-aggressively wished Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) well in his bid to become the Democratic presidential nominee for 2020.

Of course, it’s not the first time Trump has used the “crazy” moniker on Sanders:

However, Trump’s tweet followed a report by The Associated Press that the president was workshopping nicknames for the 2020 Democratic candidates. His apparent failure to find a new epithet for Sanders led to ridicule on Twitter:

Sanders announced his run on Tuesday.

In an interview on “CBS This Morning,” he said it “is absolutely imperative” that Trump be defeated “because I think it is unacceptable and un-American — to be frank with you — that we have a president who is a pathological liar.”

He also called Trump “a racist,” “a sexist” and “a xenophobe.”
