After former mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg trashed Donald Trump and the Democratic National Convention, The Donald took to Twitter, as he’s been known to do, to hit back at the “little” man:
"Little" Michael Bloomberg, who never had the guts to run for president, knows nothing about me. His last term as Mayor was a disaster!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
If Michael Bloomberg ran again for Mayor of New York, he wouldn't get 10% of the vote – they would run him out of town! #NeverHillary
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
Trump even went after Bloomberg’s golf game in a taped appearance with George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning saying, “I hit the ball a lot longer, and a lot better” than teh former mayor:

This stands in stark contrast to what Trump said about Mayor Bloomberg in 2012 and 2013, which were the final two years of his third term:
Mike Bloomberg is doing a great job as Mayor of New York City. Ray Kelly is a great Police Commissioner. @MikeBloomberg

"@ElliotD224: @realDonaldTrump do you think Bloomberg is a good mayor?" Yes!

Trump also praised Bloomberg for selecting his company to develop a golf course in the Bronx:
Once the Bloomberg administration selected Trump to take over the very expensive and years late project, I kicked "ass" and got it done fast

Credit the Bloomberg administration for having the foresight and courage to get this decades old project finished – will be BIG for NY.

Will be cutting ribbon at 10 A.M. with Mayor Bloomberg and Jack Nicklaus for the opening of TRUMP LINKS at FERRY POINT.

All smiles, no “Sad!” on display for the ribbon cutting. Via DNAInfo:
Bloomberg’s last day in office was December 31, 2013.
