Trump: I'd Rather Run Against Bloomberg Than Bernie Because He Has Real Followers

[Galraedia]

President Trump took aim at Democratic candidate for president and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg for "buying his way" into the election and for "crying" in his apology for supporting the controversial stop-and-frisk policy.

At a press availability Tuesday, the president also called Bloomberg a bad debater as well as a "lightweight" and said he'd rather face Bloomberg than Bernie Sanders because Sanders has "real followers" that post an electoral threat.

"Frankly, I would rather run against Bloomberg than Bernie Sanders, because Sanders has real followers, whether you like them or not, whether you agree with them or not," Trump said. "I happen to think it's terrible what says. But he has followers."

He added: "Bloomberg is just buying his way in."

Trump also commented on Biden's presidential campaign.. saying Biden never has achieved 1% in a presidential primary until former President Obama took him off the "garbage heap." However, the president said he believes Biden still has a chance to make a comeback.

P.S. Trump is a moron and incapable of understanding reverse psychology. He is known for saying what he is thinking out loud. I believe he really is scared of running against Bernie Sanders.

7. Yep

Not that I care what the fascist buffoon says.

10. No. He's just mad that Bloomberg is an actual billionaire.

No one thinks Bloomberg would really beat Trump. He's a former Republican and the only thing he has going for him is that he's rich. If he wasn't wealthy he wouldn't even be an afterthought in this race.

3. Ah, the ol' reverse psychology trick.

Sorry, Trump, no sale.

4. Combine that with the Russian propaganda machine backing Bernie as well..

and it makes for one compelling case NOT to support Bernie imo.

It has been proven that the propaganda coming out of Russia was targeted at supporting Trumps Run.

By word and deed, Trump has strong backing and support from and collusion with Putin.

Based on facts, draw your own conclusions.

12. Russians want to divide democratic support, not support Bernie Sanders

They have done it before and they will do it again. We need Sander's supporters. They are motivated and more likely to participate if he is part of the democratic ticket. We can't afford to isolate his supporters. The alternative would be Trump.
