Trump is 'unhinged' over Bloomberg, former aide claims

Former White House aide Anthony Scaramucci – who famously served only 11 days before being fired – has claimed that Donald Trump is “unhinged” over former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

“Awwww it’s getting around. @realDonaldTrump is unhinged about @MikeBloomberg,” Mr Scaramucci tweeted.

His feelings regarding Mr Trump changed following his short-term stint at the White House. Now, Mr Scaramucci appears to support Mr Bloomberg, who he believes will “trounce” Mr Trump in a general election.

It’s not surprising Mr Scaramucci supports Mr Bloomberg. He comes from the same world as both Mr Trump and Mr Bloomberg; he formerly worked as a financier for Goldman Sachs in New York City and went on to found capital investment and management firms. Now he hosts a show on Fox Business Network.

As I've said before, Bloomberg's a billionaire. Trump just plays one on TV.

I'm not a Bloomberg fan, but if he's getting under Fat Nixon's orange hide, good for him.

3. from the article:

“I think the president would be very intimidated by a guy like Michael Bloomberg,” Mr Scaramucci said. “He’s a New Yorker. He could stand the onslaught of the president’s bullying. He’s worth probably five to eight times the president’s net worth. He could spend a fortune defending himself and getting ads up in all areas of the country.”


I'd fix that one sentence to read: "He's worth probably fifty to eighty times the president's net worth." That's a lot closer to the truth.

12. This is, by my count, the 9,403rd story about Trump being unhinged about something.

Of course, that pales in comparison to the 21,729 times it's been predicted that Trump's approval rating will plummet because he's finally gone too far.

And that's just on DU.

5. Sorry, but for that fucker to be "unhinged" would mean he was actually once "hinged"

I have seen absolutely no evidence since 2015 on that the man is anything but a carnival barking clown with no grasp of reality to begin with...he can't be 'unhinged' because he was never anchored to anything or any principles in the first place!

I prefer to to simply call it like it is - "morbidly obese madman, with orange fake skin tone, and mustard yellow fake hair color, poorly fitting clothing and elongated neckties, masquerading as sentient being continues exposing self as completely unfit for polite company, let alone public service".

Granted, that's a bit verbose...could just go with "STFU grandpa, and no, you CANNOT have the phone back"...

That doesn't mean they'll vote for him. More importantly, there are a hell of a lot of people who won't vote at all or will vote 3rd party if Bloomberg buys the nomination.

His team of coconspirators have spent their time building a fake case against Biden, and assembling a ton of propaganda to use against Sanders (in case he were to win the nomination) so Bloomberg blindsided them.
They haven't got the time or money to run toe to toe with him.
