Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders plans to bolster his campaign by gaining the trust of Donald Trump supporters.

The Vermont senator believes he is in the best position to address key socio-economic issues while the business magnate is concerned with enticing voters with crude rhetorics.

"What Trump has done with some success is taken that anger, taken those fears, which are legitimate, and converted them into anger against Mexicans, anger against Muslims," Sanders told CBS's Face the Nation over the weekend. "In my view, that is not the way we are going to address the major problems facing this country."

The 74-year-old said problems can be fixed by uniting the citizenry to push Congress to pass laws that can effectively curb income inequality. He mentioned that many of Trump's supporters are from the working class who are angry because they are working longer shifts for lower wages, yet they still fear losing their jobs to overseas companies.

Sanders added that Trump is getting nervous about the working class finally having a better understanding of the real estate mogul's policies, which generally cater to the interests of the billionaire class against almost everybody else.

"Trump insisted on Thursday that the US must keep wages low in order to compete with other countries, one day after he dug in on his assertion that 'wages are too high' in America," Sanders explained.

In a recent appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, Sanders said there has been a lot of media attention surrounding Trump's verbal jabs on other candidates yet his position on real issues remains unclear.

Once the Trump questions dissipated, Sanders took the remaining air time to explain his foreign policy credentials.

He called for a partnership between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who he believes should devote more of their wealth and resources to combat ISIS.

Sanders also stressed that income inequality is just as important as national security; thus, presidential aspirants should give it more attention. He said the government should focus on foreign policy and stifling ISIS, but at the end of the day, these actions will not tangibly fix the growing problems currently experienced by working families and the middle class.

Even though he has a hostile relationship with presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, Sanders revealed that the factions share the same interest in stopping any GOP candidate from becoming president. He said the party is working out different opinions in order to derail "right-wing extremism" in the country.

Where it currently stands, a recent CNN poll shows the former secretary of state leading Sanders in matters of foreign policy and ISIS, 72 percent to 15 percent on foreign policy and 63 percent to 18 percent on ISIS. Clinton also enjoys a 21-point advantage over Sanders with regards to gun policy, 51 percent to 30 percent.
