'Terrible debater and speaker': Trump slams 'Mini Mike Bloomberg'
Washington Examiner ^ | January 17, 2020 09:33 AM | Spencer Neale

President Trump trashed 2020 Democrat Mike Bloomberg, calling the septuagenarian a "terrible speaker" and mocking the billionaire's height at 5 feet, 8 inches.

"Mini Mike Bloomberg doesn’t get on the Democrat Debate Stage because he doesn’t want to - he is a terrible debater and speaker," tweeted Trump on Friday. "If he did, he would go down in the polls even more (if that is possible!)."

The president further slammed Bloomberg in a follow-up tweet soon after, saying, "Mini Mike Bloomberg ads are purposely wrong - A vanity project for him to get into the game. Nobody in many years has done for the USA what I have done for the USA, including the greatest economy in history, rebuilding our military, biggest ever tax & regulation cuts, & 2nd A!"

Height shouldn’t matter. But I’ve met him and there’s no way he’s even 5’8”.

That’s what I was thinking. The Gun Grabber Bloomberg is 5’-8”? No way.

I’d say 5’-6”, tops.

Mini Mike. Trump finds ways to paint his opponents in the worst possible light.

Us short guys have the short end of the draw. I’m 5’7”.

I will now confess to a guilty pleasure. I enjoy the TV show Judge Judy. And thank goodness for the mute button. Because every episode now has an ad where Judge Judy talks about how great Bloomberg is.

Yuck!

This is why I refuse to watch her anymore. I took her endorsement as just a Jewish person supporting another Jewish person. Oh! Perhaps I shouldn’t have said that. I might get accused of being ant-Semitic bit of course I am not.

Bloomturd’s refusal to take private campaign contributions and, hence, to qualify for the DemonShit debates, shows a lot about him, all bad. Taking private contributions requires the candidate actually to go out among the voters, talk to them, relate them, and show concern for their for their concerns. That mutual process also creates strong mutual commitments, as it has with Bernie and his voters, PDJT and his voters. Indeed, it’s a profoundly democratic process that helps to make government officials genuine representatives of and accountable to their constituents. By blowing it off Bloomturd shows profound contempt for all US voters.

If we are going to be honest, there is probably at least a little bit of truth in what you say. And that support is not at all unusual. Blacks tend to support black candidates, Italians tend to support Italian candidates, etc.

And now a confession. That’s true even for me. I’m of Hungarian descent. And if I don’t know anyone who is running for my town council, I’ll often just vote for a candidate with an eastern European sounding last name.

Trump will tower over Bloomy at their dreamland debate. It won't be a good look for Mini Mike.

As I was telling someone the other day, Trump has re-written the rules for political speech. The old formal style - the kind he mocks and makes fun of - is history. The democrat debates show how dull and unexciting the candidates are and Bloomie is worse than they are.

5-8 isn’t that short. I believe the average height for American men is 5-9. Men one standard deviation above — in other words, really tall men — are at least 6-2.

The lower standard deviation starts at 5-5, I believe. I’m working from memory here, so anyone please correct me.

I’m 6-1, so I’m a little crushed by being just one inch below being classed as tall.

On the other hand 6-1 is a good height for finding clothes than fit and most other purposes of everyday living.

And little old ladies are constantly asking me to reach for merchandise on the top shelf at Big Lots.

You might not be really tall, but you are tall.

And Bloomie is well below average—though again, that to me shouldn’t be a factor in selecting a prez. I know tall plays well particularly in person and on TV, but the MSM could give Bloomie a couple of pillows and all the right angles to take that away as a real issue IMO.

Which is probably why Trump has realized he needs to go after him as a target sooner rather than later.

Mike Bloomberg is 5-foot-8 when standing on a phone book (the 4-inch-thick kind from from 1977).
