The ex-New York mayor gets in the sandbox with the disparager-in-chief
After coming under a barrage of attacks from the president Sunday, Bloomberg responded by calling Trump a “pathological liar” — standard rhetoric among Democrats. But then his campaign went further.“The president,” Bloomberg spokeswoman Julie Wood said, “lies about everything: his fake hair, his obesity, and his spray-on tan.”
Trump fired first on Sunday. In a series of tweets, he blasted Bloomberg’s eponymous news service as “fake,” accused him without evidence of receiving special treatment from the Democratic National Committee as part of a conspiracy against Bernie Sanders, and mocked the billionaire former New York mayor’s diminutive stature.
“Why should he be entitled to that? Really! Does that mean everyone else gets a box?” Trump said. “It’s very interesting.”“I stand twice as tall as he does on the stage that matters,” Bloomberg said. “This is what happens when somebody like me rises in the polls. All of a sudden the other candidates get scared and I think Donald Trump knows that I can beat him. And that’s why he comes back with those kinds of comments.
Bloomberg, more than any other Democrat, has focused exclusively on Trump and relishes the opportunity to get under the president’s skin. His speeches are loaded with mild insults, often variations on jokes about how Trump is a phony billionaire who merely played a CEO on reality TV.
