President Donald Trump on Thursday after lambasted Michael Bloomberg after the former New York City mayor delivered a scorching assessment of Trump’s tenure in the White House during a speech to the Democratic National Convention.
“Donald says we should vote for him because the economy was great before the pandemic? Huh?” Bloomberg asked.
“Let me tell you a little secret: Donald Trump’s economic plan was to give a huge tax cut to guys like me who didn’t need it and then lie about it to everyone else,” Bloomberg said.
Trump quickly jumped on Twitter to whine about the speech and accuse the former Republican mayor of trying to stage a political “comeback” with his appearance at the Democratic Convention.
“After the worst debate performance in the history of politics, Michael Bloomberg, commonly known as Mini Mike, is trying to make a comeback by begging the Democrats for relevance. They treated him like a dog – and always will. Before politics, he said GREAT things about me!” Trump complained.
