Bloomberg Hits Back at 'Carnival Barking Clown' Trump: 'Behind Your Back They Laugh at You'

[left-of-center2012]

Need evidence that Mike Bloomberg is now viewed as a political threat to the second term of President Donald Trump? Look no further than Thursday’s insults hurled at the former New York City mayor via the president’s Twitter feed, and perhaps more interestingly, how Bloomberg hit back in a quick and clinical manner.

Trump first quote-tweeted a photoshopped image that portrayed a diminutive Bloomberg standing next to a stack of papers while an oversized president cut symbolic red tape above. Trump called Bloomberg a “LOSER who has money but can’t debate,” before adding, “He reminds me of a tiny version of Jeb ‘Low Energy’ Bush, but Jeb has more political skill and has treated the Black community much better than Mini!”

Trump ridiculed Bloomberg’s height, saying he is a “5’4″ mass of dead energy who doesn’t want to be on the debate stage with these professional politicians.” A simple Google search indicates that Bloomberg is listed as 5’8″.

2. Maybe Bloomberg will drive Trump's BP up so high that he strokes out.

A girl can hope, right!

3. You know it's sad to have to admit it but there's certain gravitas ...

that you have when you're the 9th richest in the US and 14th richest person in the world, and you're taking down a total f'ing wannabe rich dude like IQ45.

The rest of our field could say something like this and a lot of people would just see it as political mud-slinging.

Bloomberg busting out with this just has this ... I dunno ... sense of cold reality to it?

It comes across as him thoroughly putting Trump in his lowly place, for real.

It's the money, obviously. Which is sad.

But I think it's kinda how it is.

4. New Yorkers really know how to insult

That people call Trump a "carnival barking clown" "behind his back" is not only colorful and true, but funny.

5. If the racial stuff doesn't derail him he might be our best choice.

Especially with my first choice fading, I am now ONLY about electability and Senate coattails.
With Bloomberg, all of our money can go to competitive purple state Senate races.
That is a HUGE thing.
