Michael Bloomberg KBE, 77, has money and business experience, but he has something else that Donald Trump, 73, lacks – the ability to cross the political divide.
Entering the race because he supposedly “fears current Democratic candidates are not equipped to defeat” the 45th President, the billionaire businessman and ex-mayor of New York City has reportedly dispatched his aides to Alabama – the state with the earliest filing deadline for the presidential campaign.
Speaking on behalf of this John Hopkins University graduate and ex-Salomon Brothers partner, Howard Wolfson, described as a “longtime Bloomberg adviser” by CBS News, last night remarked:
Two stories to keep beside you
Trouncing Trump
Donald Trump’s campaign to become President of the United States of America goes awry
The Demise of Donald
Donald Trump’s 75-minute outburst proves once and for all that he’s utterly off his rocker; may his demise please come quickly Donald Trump and the press are living in two different realities. He has failed to transition from a brash campaigning candidate to a dignified President of the United States of America and already […]

Bloomberg – whose political stances can be broadly described as “socially liberal” and “fiscally conservative” – is just the man America needs right now. What a pity we don’t have someone similarly measured here in Great Britain.

For once, some positive news. You are right – Britain needs a Bloomberg.
Rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a COMMIE and anyone with a brain would vote for Donald Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rod, as normal, is wrong. He’s a hugely successful businessman and anything but a Communist. He would restore America on the world stage and is the sensible option to go for. He’s got the money, the track record and he’s an internationalist.
Another self-serving twat.
Michael Bloomberg is five feet tall; there’s no way he beats Donald Trump if they’re ever photographed side by side.
