BY MORGAN CHALFANT - 02/18/20 04:25 PM EST
President Trump on Tuesday accused former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg of trying to illegally buy the Democratic nomination for president, taking aim at the billionaire businessmans massive self-funding operation.
What Mini Mike is doing is nothing less than a large scale illegal campaign contribution. He is spreading money all over the place, only to have recipients of his cash payments, many former opponents, happily joining or supporting his campaign. Isnt that called a payoff? Trump tweeted Tuesday afternoon.
Mini is illegally buying the Democrat Nomination, Trump tweeted, repeating his claim that the Democratic Party is trying again to take the election away from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and mocking Bloomberg for his height.
Trumps remarks come as Bloomberg, who has been funding his campaign with hundreds of millions of his own money, is rising in the polls. Federal candidates who fund their own campaigns do not face restrictions on how much they can spend of their own money in order to win an election.
