Michael Bloomberg Now Paying Meme-Makers to Post Sponsored Content on Instagram
NewsBusters ^ | 2/13/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Michael Bloomberg, who’s willing to spend $2 billion to beat President Donald Trump and spent more than $350 million plastering airwaves with his ads, is now paying people to plaster your Instagram accounts with terrible memes. The New York Times reported Feb. 13 that the liberal billionaire presidential candidate “has contracted some of the biggest meme-makers on the internet to post sponsored content on Instagram promoting his presidential campaign.” [Emphasis added]. The campaign is collaborating with Meme 2020, “a new company formed by some of the people behind extremely influential [Instagram] accounts.”

Is this the push to have “influencers” make mini mike “seem cool”? If you gotta pay some one to make you “seem cool”, you ain’t.

Bloomberg will probably NOT win CA, OR, WA primary.
Possible NY and FL and that is about it.
Super Tuesday will decide his fate.

I could just picture Big Gulp sitting there and talking to his staff:

“Hey, what is up with the Me me thing. I’m all into me, we gotta get on this. Quick, call someone and buy some me me’s. So they come in a box?”

Yep, Trump doesn’t have to pay for the hundreds of cool memes posted every day on social media, they do it because they truly support him and his agenda.

I am very tired of this guy’s announcements everywhere. He throws his money around like hearing his name will induce me to vote for him. I laugh in his face every time I see it or hear his name. Your a puke to me little Mr. B and always will be one.

Yeah, he’s becoming Mr. Annoying, for sure. I get his ads at the front of YouTube vids a LOT now. F him.

I guess we’re about to find out if you can become President without interacting with a single voter, directly addressing your constituents or kissing a single baby. I’m sure such a President would strong listen to the will of the voters once in power...

No Democrat is looking for right-wing votes. They know that’s unattainable. They’re looking for independent and moderate votes.

The ad that Michael Douglas just cut wasn’t bad. No movie star razzle dazzle, no mention of Trump. Just a bio that mentioned Bloomberg being laid off at age 39, and building Bloomberg LP from nothing to where it is today - a 20,000-employee organization.

Somebody has to create a blocker app for Douchberg's ads...

True that.

So, grassroots Trumpers: Meme war against Bloomberg! Make Great Memes! MGM!
