Trump urges Bloomberg to stiff campaign consultants as spending tops $500 million
The Washington Times ^ | Sunday, March 1, 2020 | Valerie Richardson

President Trump on Sunday urged Michael R. Bloomberg not to pay his campaign consultants, saying they “led you down a very dark and lonely path,” as the former New York City mayor’s campaign spending eclipsed $500 million.

Democratic spending on the 2020 presidential primary campaign topped $1 billion last week, with Mr. Bloomberg responsible for the lion’s share at more than $500 million, according to multiple media analyses.

“Mini Mike Bloomberg’s consultants and so-called ‘advisors’ (how did that advice work out? Don’t ask!), are on the ‘gravy train’ and all making a fortune for themselves pushing Mini hard, when they knew he never had what it takes,” tweeted Mr. Trump.

“Don’t pay them anymore Mike, they led you down a very dark and lonely path! Your reputation will never be the same!” he added.

Mr. Bloomberg is scheduled to address the nation Sunday in a three-minute primetime network ad buy on the coronavirus and how he “has the experience to handle the coronavirus outbreak,” according to RealClearPolitics.

“Mike will outline the facts, coronavirus is spreading, the economy is plummeting,” said the Bloomberg campaign in a press release.

Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Bloomberg are billionaires, with Mr. Bloomberg’s net worth estimated at $56 billion and Mr. Trump’s at $3 billion.

Is this $500M tax-deductible though?

A) He's not suggesting he stiff them. I doubt if Bloomy if paid on layaway.

B) He's trolling Mini Mike.

Get a sense of humor Washington Times.

Bloomberg has $750 million in his couch cushions.

He will not be hurting.

$500 Million is couch change for Mike, he has likely earned twice that amount since declaring (Excepting, of course, the recent unpleasantness in the markets).

But the damage to his ego?

well, you can’t put a dollar figure on that.

Agree and that's a dangerously misleading headline that will be used against Trump. Trump pointed out that Bloomberg didn't get his moneys worth and he should dispense with the services of his campaign consultants.

He never said or implied that Bloomberg should renege on contracts or monetary obligations.

There’s nothing they can do to make Bloomberg likable, all the money in the world cant achieve that.

Our President is master of the art of trolling, including, as here, the specialized concern trolling form.

It’s pretty sad when even the part of the media we consider to be less than fake instinctively think of President Trump in a negative way.

I wonder who Bloomey hired. It smells like Michael Murphy—the one who guided JEB!’s million to get 1 vote. A Never-Trumper, and perennial loser....for McCain too.

Or perhaps, wizard Steve Schmidt—of MSNBC fame.

Just everyone, at a certain point, with luck and ability, can achieve a level of wealth after which there are other things more important than accumulating more wealth. At that point, assuming they keep the wealth they’ve already accumulated, they seek to satisfy other needs/desires. Bloomie long ago reached that point, meaning ego feeding, using whatever amount of money it takes, is what’s driving him. So far, spending hundreds of millions has only bought him a huge ego beating. How long will he be able to continue taking those beatings, especially since he’s not experienced it before.

The dim wits in the Democrat press also didn’t get Trump’s joke that the Russians ought to investigate where Hillary’s missing emails went. That laughable charge wound up as one of the things Mueller was supposed to nail the President for!
