Trump Did The Most Trump Thing When Bloomberg Gave Him Advice

The Democratic presidential candidate recalled a request by Trump to call him after Trump had been elected in 2016.
Bloomberg obliged.

So when Trump asked Bloomberg what he should do, Bloomberg said he advised him thusly:
“You’ve never been in government before ― what you need to do is get some people that have experience,
try to find a bunch of people who are smarter than you.”

“At which point Trump said that there weren’t any,” Bloomberg added.

The former New York City mayor let the line sink in for a moment.

“And then he gave me his private cell number, which I didn’t bother to write down,” Bloomberg added.

Back in the days when I'd visit England every year, I'd purposely check out the London phone boxes to get a good laugh from them.

Of course you have to go into one of those lovely red phone booths when you first go to England.

We did just that and what did we see written inside of one of them?

'Spank my bum.' And a phone number.
We didn't call.
