Sanders told “CBS This Morning” that Trump is pursuing "very different" policies in the White House than he touted on the campaign trail.

"During the course of the campaign, he said 'I'm going to stand with the working people, I'm going to take on the pharmaceutical industry, and lower the outrageous price of prescription drugs," Sanders told CBS. "That's what he said."

"During the campaign, he said one set of things, and the policies he is implementing right now are very different," he added.

The senator rattled off a list of campaign promises he said Trump had abandoned.

"He said, 'I'm gonna drain the swamp, I'm gonna get rid of the powerful special interests.' Well, he has brought more billionaires into this administration than any president in the history of this country. He says, 'I'm going to guarantee healthcare to everybody.' Well, he supported legislation that would throw 32 million people off of healthcare."

Sanders said Trump was dividing the country.

"Bottom line is, as a nation, we've gotta stand together, we cannot allow the divisions that are taking place every single day, led by the president," Sanders said. "We are one nation, let's work together."

A recent poll found the onetime presidential candidate to be the most popular active politician in the country.
