Trump Goes Off on 'Mini Mike Bloomberg' After Fox & Friends Airs Attack Ad

https://www.mediaite.com/news/trump-goes-off-on-mini-mike-bloomberg-after-fox-and-friends-airs-attack-ad/


President Donald Trump fired back at Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg in response to his new campaign ad — airing on Fox & Friends — slamming the president’s behavior as “erratic and out of control.”

Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade interviewed Bloomberg’s 2020 campaign manager Kevin Sheekey who took aim at Trump’s military accomplishments and why Bloomberg would be a more stable commander-in-chief: “It’s not all about spending money… so throwing money at a problem is not leadership.”

Trump, who refers to the billionaire as “Mini Mike Bloomberg,” tweeted following the ad that the presidential hopeful and former New York City mayor “is playing poker with his foolhardy and unsuspecting Democrat rivals.”

“The fact is, when Mini loses, he will be spending very little of his money on these “clowns” because he will consider himself to be the biggest clown of them all – and he will be right!,” President Trump blasted.

See the article for the full text of Trump's tweets, the response from the Bloomberg campaign, and some tweets ridiculing Trump.

And the poke-the-bear strategy seems to be working

Mike can buy and sell Trump and he intends to do that.

Mighty Mini Mike can take Trump under the rug. And with Steyer help

Zuckerburg is causing troubles to our Democratic Republic.

Don’t be fooled by Silicon Valley. They need to be regulated like all media and their products approved. It is a drug.

Bloomberg is the kind of guy who will double, triple down (not in an obvious, crude, stupid way, like a Tweet, but in a more creative way). That's the one thing they do have in common. Bloomberg has exactly zero fear of Trump.

More than any other candidate, Bloomberg should be the person Trump least wants to engage with directly.
