I would focus 100% on that today if I were the POTUS.

He already sent out a tweet on that.

He is actually 5’7”. I know there are some left wing sites they say 5’8”, but he is not. Plus, he probably shrunk with age. I doubt Trump is even 6’3” anymore.

Slightly off topic, but if you’ve never been to NYC, you won’t know yellow mustard goes great on a potato knish.

His main attack on Jeb was he was “low energy”, which is more about his physical attributes than his character.
I'll admit at the time I thought it was a silly attack. It turned out to be a very effective attack against Jeb. People now associate “low energy” with Jeb.
Will this “Mini Mike” jibe work on Bloomberg? I have no idea.
Worth noting that Trump has known Bloomberg quite well for a very long time. It's possible that he knows Bloomberg may be a bit sensitive about his height. Trump is the best troll I have ever seen in politics.

Bloomberg can easily be defeated for his gross and unparalleled arrogance buying up elections in smaller states, his racial attitudes, and more. He won’t be defeated attacking his physical condition.

Well said. There are short people who vote. And tall people who are turne-off by attacks on personal appearance.

You are being way to analytical about this...the bottom line is, average voters love to see a big-shot brought down a peg or two. Especially if it hits a sore spot with the big shot and gets him to over react. I work in a company filled with a large cross section of average people and trust me - short jokes, even though they do seem mean to me, NEVER get old around here.

It’s not a matter of whether he really is “short” compared to the population...it’s about whether Emperor Mike is triggered by it, because people triggered under pressure make mistakes.

And I reckon Trump knows that he is.

I am a “short” person, and for some folks like us it can be a touchy subject.

My comeback always was the alleged Abe Lincoln quote.

When Abe was told he was too tall he supposed said:

“I am just the right size. My feet touch the floor.”

;-)

But—some short folks do have the Napoleon complex—and you don’t want to mess with them—they don’t get mad, they get even.... ;-)

Don’t believe everything that Google search pulls up. Especially on political topics. Until someone lays down Mini M flat and measures him with a calibrated tape, heal to scalp, I won’t believe he is 5’8”.

Bloomberg and Soros have prepared the ground by getting State secretaries of state elected in several non automatically Democrat states. Those officials certify the vote counts in elections and any mass vote invention in the Democrat cities would be ratified by them.

I haven’t seen any such ads yet. After hearing about his efforts I expected my FB and my browser searches to be flooded with them.

I understand what you mean, but you might also say that Mike has a small minded attitude, or short memory span. But President Trump probably did did mean physical attributes. any case I really don’t think people care one way or another. It’s just kind of a funny thing to say and it’s memorable.

I don’t second guess DJT ever again. For two years I cringed repeatedly at some tweet or insult that surely must lose him points only to see that the opposite result occur.

Actually Mini Mike is far more of an authoritarian hypocrite than Jeb ever was.

I used to be 5’11 3/4 when I was 20. I am 5’9 now 50+ years later and not stooped.

The Bloombox needs a stem attached as a safety handrail.

My oldest daughter was 4’9” and slim. She loved to get into a movie theater at the child’s price even when she was thirty. Clerks never even asked, merely assumed.

People dislike Tweets because they fear Tweets.

In New Hampshire diners women denounced presidential tweets because they were devastatingly effective
