Bloomberg and Trump are engaged in a twitter fight today

[irisblue]

Bloomie does have the big big big $$$ to annoy the apricothellbeast. I like that.



Mike Bloomberg (@MikeBloomberg) Tweeted:
.@realDonaldTrump - we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence.

I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will. https://t.co/fO4azmZaUg

Sure as hell is not the Lincoln Douglass debates

1. Trump always goes for the personal appearance attack when he has nothing else.

Such a shallow childish disgusting fool.

[Iliyah]

2. And he is ugly inside and out . . .

[Squinch]

3. This is going to erode Filthy Donnie's republican base.

They think he represents their "strength" because he mocks the people they would like to mock but are too afraid to.

If he is effectively mocked, and if it is credible to them that Filthy Donnie is being laughed at, they will turn on him like a top.

They won't vote for a Dem, but they also won't associate with someone they think is being made a chump.

4. So how do trump's short male supporters feel

about this? Is heightism OK?

5. That's the first thing I thought of.

Bloomberg is actually 5'7" or 8", which isn't much shorter than average - which means there are probably a lot of short-ish Republican men out there who might not take kindly to Trump poking fun at someone of similar stature. What probably really chaps His Lardship's ass is the fact that Bloomberg has waaaay more money.

11. They got big guns to compensate.

6. Trump's buddy Putin is about same height as Bloomberg.

8. yeah, I don't really think this is the way. Beat a clown by getting clownish? nt

10. For years, many wise people have said "You're never going to

out-Trump Trump." Maybe Bloomberg will actually achieve some level of success in trying this, but I think the thing that drove my decision to support Pete was the idea that his whole persona is literally the most "anti-Trump" within the entire Democratic field.

13. Excellent point.

And I totally agree.

[Mike 03]

9. This is great on so many levels, but two points:

Bloomberg is 5' 8".

I've been saying for a month that Trump would never debate Bloomberg. You can see the projection in his tweet. Trump would rather go down in Air Force One than meet Bloomberg face to face.

[SCantiGOP]

15. Two responses:

I predict Trump won’t debate anyone. He could not take constantly having his lies pointed out. He will set down some unrealistic demands (all debates on FOX, questions pre-screened by the candidates, etc), and when those aren’t accepted he will spend the campaign complaining that the weak Dem candidate is afraid to debate him.
Second, yes Bloomberg is about 5’8”, and Trump is about 6’0” without his lifts so that is another reason he wouldn’t appear on stage with Bloomberg.

How about a debate where Trump’s opponent challenges for both of them to do three sit-ups? Hell, I bet even Bernie could wipe him out in a 100 yard dash.

[cwydro]

12. Normally, I wouldn't think twitter nastiness is a good thing.

But Bloomberg knows how to get under the moron’s skin, and that’s all good.

[Kaleva]

14. Bloomberg is taking the fight to Trump's own, once safe, territory.

The best defense is a good offence.

[BlueIdaho]

16. I love this...

Bloomberg has the ammunition to shell Trump right out of his everlovin’ mind. He can destroy the myth of Trump the great Tycoon - and fatso knows it. Bloomberg may be shorter but he’s a much bigger man.

17. Bloomie..should also mention DJT is a 300 pound mass of dead energy

on speed with a bad make-up artist.
