Bloomberg Fires Back Against Trump’s Tweets, But Will Other Critiques Hurt His 2020 Chances?| MSNBC

2020 presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg’s rise in the polls, boosted by record ad spending and a massive campaign infrastructure, has been accompanied by tweeted insults about his height by President Donald Trump. But the former New York City mayor is also facing criticism for past statements on his use of controversial stop-and-frisk policies and comments that the end of racially discriminatory real estate redlining caused the 2008 financial crisis.

  1. Rich people used to pay polititians to do the dirty work for them…I guess they decided to cut the middle man…

    1. why not when they can just change all of the rules with all of that power? this is why capitalism is bad. the rich, powerful white boys just can’t practice self control & constraint. they are so easily corrupted all i the name of unbridled wealth.

  2. Imagine if all job interviews only involved making and presenting 3 minute commercials with little-to-no substance, only feel-good messaging or disparagements of competitors seeking the same job. Do you think that that would be ridiculous? Then you should think that Bloomberg’s strategy is ridiculous, too.

    1. THE UNREDACTED MUELLER REPORT TAX RETURNS DON MCGHAN TESTIMONY JOHN BOLTON TESTIMONY, ALL ROADS LEAD TO PUTIN THRU PUTIN!

    2. @Cort YOU BETTER KNOW IT, THE UNREDACTED MUELLER REPORT TAX RETURNS DON MCGHAN TESTIMONY JOHN BOLTON TESTIMONY, DIRTY RUSSIAN UKRAINE SAUDI MONEY ILLEGAL TAX RETURNS AND SCHEMES!

  3. It’s true, you can buy anything or anybody in America because everything and everybody is for sale.  What a country.

    1. Justsayin to some degree? The economy is a major or the most major motivational drive behind all countries. ALL.

  4. Bloomberg’s response to a Trump tweet:

    “….We know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you and call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune and squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence.”

    1. @Alexa Fleming lmfao and Trump couldn’t even spell Zelensky the president of Ukraine’s last name you must be a republican!

    2. Yeah they have the same friends….. can you say more cuts for the wealthy? No thank you. Down with Bloomberg

  5. First the screw Bernie, now they’re screwing all of the candidates. I knew something like this would happen. Screw them.

    1. Deborah Freedman Lol, you must have completely ignored your human ability to reason to come to that emotional conclusion.

    2. @madcheeseknight Agreed. They are hung on their own petards. Eat the oligarchs!!! Bloomberg would only be an amuse bouche;)

  6. So “Little Mushroom man” having a hard time “Standing” up to ‘Little Mike!” I guess “Stormy “summed it up best!

    1. is `Little Mushroom man’ Trump? POTUS is anointed by God, to clear out the evil and bring in Christianity back to schools and it is the morning ritual in the WH again, and to bring America back on course…no one can go against our Lord. The Democrats and Liberals are all for `Totalitarian world Government’ and planning to take away your freedom, if that is what you want I really don’t think so but it will happen one day, I just like to keep it away for as long as possible. God Bless You!

  7. Bloomberg shouldn’t even be in the running for president!!

    He’s gone through ZERO of the steps that ALL presidential candidates are REQUIRED to go through!

    Yet bribes made to the right people are all that matter in America these days. Just look at all of Trump’s bribed cronies willing to do anything to protect him.

    1. I used to like Bernie but I am seriously having doubts. His rabid base is a real turn off. Too much like Trump.
