Sanders: Trump taking credit for easing tensions he helped create

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) knocked President Trump's actions on Iran this week in an interview airing Sunday, accusing the president of pushing the U.S. to the brink of war and then taking credit for easing tensions.

In an interview airing Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," Sanders likened Trump's strategy in the Middle East to wanting credit for a fire he set.

"It's like somebody setting fire to a basket full of paper and then putting it out. He helped create the crisis, and then he stopped the attacks," Sanders told reporter Margaret Brennan.

Trump, he continued, thinks "that a war with Iran is something that might be good for this country" despite Trump's public rhetoric cautioning against such a conflict.

Create a crisis and 'resolve it' by doing nothing but claiming you did.

See: the deal with Mexico.
