'You're A Disgrace': Mike Bloomberg Insults Journalist After Tough Questions | MSNBC
😀
Bloomberg n Trump are literally the same person. 😨😂😂
Bloomberg knows how to get rich and successful, Trump knows have to fool people into thinking he’s rich and and successful. Other than that their both egomaniacal a-holes.
@T M I see you’re another Ignorant Moron who thinks Trump and Bloomberg are the same. 1. Trump never had to buy his way onto the Debate Stage and 2. Trump is a Capitalist and Bloomberg is a Socialist. Bloomberg is the Real Racist while Trump is improved the lives of many minorities with low unemployment and Criminal Justice Reform.
@Armand Bireaud Yo Mama is giving everybody Credit!!!
@Jon Hinson Ruins the Economy? No proof that you’ll provide of course. Also no proof of anyone trying to dismantle Social Security. Go back to your secret lover Joe Scarborough aka Banjo Player on the movie Deliverance you Liberal Wimp!!!
Boi
Bloomberg didn’t become one of the top 15 richest people in the world being a nice guy… He is the poster boy for business as usual, or it’s just business…
Denyze it’s not the wealth it’s how they cheated, paid less for help, inside deals on mining rights, cheaper loan rates, insider trading, steal our info to market and do not pay their share of taxes and then they also get huge tax breaks as well as subsidized millions for projects… when they fail then our government gives them money because they are somehow too big to fail…lol I believe Everyone should be working to help each other and the planet not competing against each other for elite scraps created by those who can and do race to sunder our planet for the biggest profits the fasted before all our resources are all gone…
Compare former Trump employees opinions to Former Bloomberg employees. Tell me who’s happier
@Grace Munich vote for him over trump? any day. but still a disappointing demonstration of pettiness.
Hey Tanto Firewater That’s like saying who was right Hitler or Manson… lol two monsters are not better than none… Bernie 2020
@Denyze Take it from someone who maybe worked on a reality show where he had to watch quite literally hundreds of hours unedited footage of CEOs…we’re right about this one. The old American dream of achieving success through hard work and ingenuity is gone, and has been for a long time. I’d tell you more specifics, but the whole point of NDAs is to keep people like me from telling the truth. “Sociopath” is not an inaccurate description of maybe 9 out of 10. Personally, I have never understood why people deify wealth and the creation of wealth, often to the point of oppressing themselves
This guy’s implosion is hilarious to watch.
As a Democrat, I have to agree
Uuugh… everything about Bloomberg gives me heartburn..
At least he’s spending his money trying to take down Trump. He could be one of the billionaires just currying favour with Trump and the GOP, so if nothing else, there’s that.
Tired of rich men mocking and attacking working Americans.
A-fucking-men.
Let me guess. You’ve never bothered to learn anything about Bloomberg, at all. You’ve seen the attacks, and decided to just believe them. That’s lazy.
I like Mike.
Unlike Bernie, Mike gets things done. Bloomberg succeeds.
Bernie? 3 decades of nothing but failure in Congress. 30 years of excuses, one after the other.
@honeysucklecat Thank God there is another rational human being on the Internet. Dear God, everyone is so prejudiced against that man. I admire him. He has done a lot of good for a lot of people.
They’re trying so hard to turn this into WWE lol. This isn’t the RNC
THANKS THAT IS WELL SAID.
The Billionaire has no clothes !!!
Yeah…Bloomberg is scary.
“We own all the papers”
WIll Bloomberg be letting all his prison buddies out of jail?
Quick look into the future with Trump 2.0
Boil Boil Toil and Trouble, Fire Burn and bloomberg Crumble!
By the Berning of his thumbs, something Sanders this way comes!
Mike Bloomberg spent 500 million dollars to be tied with Mayor Pete at 11% in the real polls.
Mr. Stop & Frisk Terrorized innocent Blacks for over a Decade in NY
One thing that I have notice with MSNBC and CBN is the amount of coverage given to M. Bloomberg. Even to other presidential candidates more time is allotted than Bernie. Wonder why?
Sanders/Yang 2020
Now democrats are even calling the media a disgrace. Love it.
😂😂
