Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) mocked GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday for offering rides in his helicopter outside of the Iowa State Fair.
Oh look, what can you do? Its Donald Trump, he quipped during the event in Des Moines that afternoon upon seeing the aircraft fly overhead.
I apologize we left the helicopter at home, joked Sanders, a 2016 Democratic White House hopeful. I forgot to bring it.

Sanders remarks on wealth and privilege Saturday painted a stark contrast with the excess of Trumps campaign stunt.

It's in the garage, forgot to bring it,' says Sanders as he hammers billionaires while Trump flies overhead
Sanders, looked up at the sky and said, as if he were thinking aloud, 'Well, there's Donald Trump, what can we do'
Unable to land his chopper at the fair, Trump left his ride in nearby parking lot; he was leaving Des Moines when it flew over Sanders
Vermont Senator Sanders had, several minutes before, explained his popularity as such: the American people are saying, "enough is enough" '
He added: 'This country belongs to all of us, not just a handful of billionaires' and knocked the 1 percent
