In an interview with SiriusXM, Trump praised Bernie Sanders, said he’d like to run against Pete Buttigieg and attacked Joe Biden. It is easy to see who Trump fears the most.
Here is the quote from Trump’s interview:

Trump doesn’t know how to attack Joe Biden
The Republican Party would love to run against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) because they could make the election all about Sanders and socialism instead of Trump. They want to run against Buttigieg because they think they can use his sexual orientation and youth against him.
The person that Trump can’t figure out is Joe Biden. Trump has tried the “Sleepy Joe” attack but has flopped. Trump has now moved on to trying to attack Biden’s populism by coining him “1% Joe.” This also won’t work, especially coming from Donald Trump. Trump fears Biden’s populism and former vice president’s appeal in Rust Belt states.
Biden scares Trump, and that fear is never more obvious than when Trump starts talking about his potential opponents in 2020.
