Michael Bloomberg's 2020 campaign ads are driving TV-addicted Trump crazy

[left-of-center2012]

President Donald Trump has been happy to sit back and watch the Democratic primary field tear each other apart, but his re-election campaign is growing concerned about billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s growing support.

The president has been lobbing attacks at the former New York City mayor on Twitter and in Fox News interviews, but his allies insist he’s not afraid of Bloomberg — he just watches a whole lot of television.

Some critics say Trump has been fixated on Bloomberg since the start of the year, and frequently brings up the former mayor’s campaign operation — which now boasts more than 2,000 staffers, including many top Democratic campaign veterans.

Trump’s 2020 campaign is “concerned” about Bloomberg’s spending, because they saw how much he helped Democrats in the 2018 midterm cycle, but they’re hoping to turn that strength into a weakness.

1. GOOD!

2. Apart from the 'counter -productive' points mentioned, and trump's ego; a big

thing is Bloomberg ads go straight to the tv's that trump voters watch!

Same thing with the Impeachment headlines, chyrons, and mentions, - a drumbeat of information that hurts trump.

3. If you think President bone spurs can't take it now..

Wait for Bloomberg’s ads to start cranking up the heat. Bonespurs is playing checkers while Bloomberg is playing chess.

5. Yes

"The show, “Fox and Friends,” aired without commentary a new ad from Mr. Bloomberg’s team that is based on reporting from a new book, “A Very Stable Genius,” describing the language Mr. Trump used to excoriate military generals during a Pentagon meeting in 2017. The ad described him as “erratic” and pointed to the “chaos” in his administration.

The ad struck Mr. Trump, with its focus on a topic he has often been concerned about — maintaining support among members of the military."

6. I occasionally watch the local Fox affiliate station.

Bloomberg ads are running on it, like they are on all of the local network affiliates. I never watch the Fox News cable channel, but I'm sure there are no Bloomberg ads on it. There are on the local Fox TV station, though.
