Forever mired in dismal egomania, President Donald Trump is not exactly taking the existence of any challengers well. This Wednesday, he took to Twitter to freak out at the news that former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg would be joining fellow Democratic presidential primary candidates on a debate stage just hours later for the first time. His participation was secured by the release of yet another national poll with his level of support above ten percent, and in response, Trump wheeled out an outlandishly hypocritical laundry list of insults.
He even claimed that Bloomberg has violated campaign finance laws via the massive amounts of his money that he’s used to buoy his presidential bid. There’s no evidence for this — but right now, Trump’s own former longtime fixer Michael Cohen is in jail for his own role in a campaign finance law violation scheme that also involved Trump. He even participated in this scheme, which involved hush money for women with whom he’d had affairs, while in office as president. You can’t make up this wild level of hypocrisy!
He tweeted:
‘Is corrupt Bloomberg News going to say what a pathetic debater Mini Mike is, that he doesn’t respect our great farmers, or that he has violated campaign finance laws at the highest and most sinister level with “payoffs” all over the place?’

Again — there’s no evidence for Trump’s allegations. Also — Bloomberg hasn’t even been on a Democratic presidential primary debate stage yet — so no, they’re not going to spout off Trump’s assessment of something that hasn’t even happened.
This Wednesday, he also tweeted about his upcoming visit to India, rising stock market values, and someone who got kicked out of an administration job.
Highest Stock Market In History, By Far!
