President Trump released a series of tweets going after former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg (or “Mini Mike,” as he calls him) on Saturday night.
Mini Mike is part of the Fake News. They are all working together. In fact, Bloomberg isn’t covering himself (too boring to do), or other Dems. Only Trump. That sounds fair! It’s all the Fake News Media, and that’s why nobody believes in them any more.

Many of the ads you are watching were paid for by Mini Mike Bloomberg. He is going nowhere, just wasting his money, but he is getting the DNC to rig the election against Crazy Bernie, something they wouldn’t do for @CoryBooker and others. They are doing it to Bernie again, 2016.

Mini Mike is now negotiating both to get on the Democrat Primary debate stage, and to have the right to stand on boxes, or a lift, during the debates. This is sometimes done, but really not fair!

Then, during a pre-Super Bowl taped interview with Sean Hannity on Sunday, Trump doubled-down on the debate box claim and called Bloomberg a “very little” person.
@realDonaldTrump w @seanhannity
during the #SuperBowl2020 – #Bloomberg is short, there's nothing wrong with that. But why does Bloomberg get a box to stand on at the debates? Will everyone else get a box? It's very unfair for the Democrats. ?? pic.twitter.com/s5e0QHYObA— Mr Producer (@RichSementa) February 2, 2020

CNN is on the case (or the box).

Meanwhile, Bloomberg, asked about Trump’s tweets, responds that the president “lies about everything” and that he stands twice as tall as Trump on the “stage that matters.”

But his campaign wasn’t done responding.
Bloomberg campaign spokesperson Julie Wood responding to the Trump comment:
"The president is lying. He is a pathological liar who lies about everything: his fake hair, his obesity, and his spray-on tan." https://t.co/52mqNTxjI5
