President Donald Trump Attacks Bloomberg Over Height And Bloomberg Hits Back | Morning Joe | MSNBC
In a lively exchange aired on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," President Donald Trump took to Twitter and an interview with Sean Hannity to criticize Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg, particularly targeting his height. The tensions escalated with Trump referring to Bloomberg as "Mini Mike" and questioning why he should have a box to stand on during debates, implying it was unfair for shorter candidates to make special requests.
In response, Bloomberg didn't hold back, labeling Trump a "pathological liar" and countering Trump's jabs about his stature with remarks about Trump's own appearance—specifically mentioning his "fake hair" and "spray-on tan." This back-and-forth highlights not just their personal rivalry but the dynamics of the current Democratic primary, characterized by Bloomberg's rising presence and the anxiety it stirs in Trump's camp.
The discussion on "Morning Joe" emphasized the implications of Bloomberg's financial power in the political arena, as he can self-fund his campaign at levels unparalleled in recent history. Various hosts reflected on the potential threats Bloomberg poses to Trump's campaign, especially given the considerable resources he commands and the potential to attract a significant voter base.
Moreover, the segment touched on the broader context of the 2020 elections, particularly how early results and performance in key states like Iowa and New Hampshire are critical for candidates' momentum. Bloomberg's entry into the race has notably shook the Democratic establishment, which has rallied around front-runner Joe Biden, whose recent struggles have led to increased scrutiny and a sense of urgency amongst his supporters.
As the political landscape continues to shift, particularly with the rise of Bernie Sanders and the wavering support for Biden, Trump's focus on Bloomberg may reflect both fear and strategy as he gears up for an intensifying campaign ahead.
