US President Donald Trump, who is known for coming up with peculiar nicknames for his potential 2020 presidential rivals, has recently reiterated his disregard for former Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg by indicating how “little” he thought of him.
Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York and current candidate in the Democratic party primaries, has hit back at Donald Trump, following the president’s recent insults made during a Super Bowl interview with Fox News.
The remarks occurred following Donald Trump’s Sunday interview with Fox News, where he was asked about his thoughts regarding Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, Trump’s potential rival in the 2020 race.
“Uh, very little. I just think of little”, the president said.
He then went on to reflect on Bloomberg’s alleged need for special treatment during the Democratic primaries due to his moderate height, which is estimated to be around 1.7 meters.
Bloomberg Trades Insults With Trump
Trump’s comment came following his Sunday Twitter tirade, where he also claimed that Bloomberg, whom he brands as “Mini Mike”, unfairly uses “the right to stand on boxes” during his party’s on-stage debates. The president’s most critical remark, however, related to the owner of Bloomberg News’ alleged participation in the media crusade against Donald Trump.
When asked by reporters about his twitter clash with the president, the media mogul said: “the president lies, he lies about everything, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that he said things like that”.
“I stand twice as tall as he does on the stage that matters”, he added.
Michael Bloomberg, who served as mayor of New York City from 2002 to 2013, had earlier switched from the Democratic to the Republican party to run for the post, but re-registered as a Democrat back in 2018. According to a recent poll by Morning Consult, Bloomberg currently holds fourth place among Democratic party presidential contenders, with 12-percent support from Democratic primary voters, but is planning to skip the Iowa caucuses this week.
