Bloomberg to troll Trump with billboards during Phoenix and Las Vegas visits

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's campaign is unveiling a series of attack-based billboards targeting President Trump in Phoenix and Las Vegas ahead of Trump campaign stops on Friday.

The billboards, which will be placed at high visibility locations near a Trump hotel property on the Vegas Strip and potential presidential motorcade routes, say various things from "Donald Trump cheats at golf," and "Donald Trump eats burnt steak,"*

Others will say "Donald Trump lost the popular vote" and "Donald Trump went broke running a casino."

* Trump likes his steaks cooked extremely well done, with ketchup on them.

all Dems need to be doing instead of tearing each other down and giving Right-Wing ads to run. We are in a fight for our lives and M.B is the only one who has impressed me because he only goes after those who goes after him. Dem;s should listen to his wisdom in fighting each other and realize we have to watch how we crap all over our bead and butter. M. B is one reason we have the majority and it would be determent to our cause to mock all over him when he is fighting on our side. So thank you M.B.You are taking the fight right to trump as a road map that all of our candidates should be going by.

This is why I think that Bloomberg will win the nomination. He's taking the fight straight to the Great Pumpkin.

These attacks won’t hurt Trump at all. Trump knows it’s just a fellow billionaire exercising his bank account. The attacks are good old boy back slappers that will eventually slip into absurdity.

The big winners are the Media. They want Bloomberg vs. Trump more than anything, Country be damned. Two billionaires fighting in the schoolyard.

These are not messages from some small group he can dismiss; these are from a known, media-savvy real multi-billionaire. Trump will notice and want revenge.

This chips away at the cult bubble.

Eventually the ads will be dismissed. They will get so mean and nasty it won’t be effective at all. I don’t like our process being taken over by Big Media, financed by Big Money.

I am concerned that as soon as Bloomberg lands some body blows, Trump will shock us back to the reality that he’s in charge. Trump can instantly shift the winds back to himself with a well-timed bombing or the elimination of a terrorist leader. Then, the put downs will be construed as an attack on the Commander in Chief during a time of strife.
