Bill de Blasio’s presidential campaign has been off and limping for a few days now, but the NYC mayor’s already declared himself a threat to Trump’s hope of re-election while also trying desperately to make “Con Don” a thing:
#ConDon & Co keep on attacking me because they think I’m a threat. Well, guess what—I know a bully when I see one, and I’m not going anywhere. https://t.co/jteUZGxAPb

The excitement is palpable and it definitely indicates a threat to Trump’s re-election:
This seriously may be the most embarrassing showing for a Tweet by a "major" politician that I've ever seen. I've seriously seen city council candidates in small towns with more engagement than the mayor of New York City. I'm seriously embarrassed for you, Bill.

He had 4 retweets after an hour. Come on guys, let's help him out with a comment or something. This is #cringeworthy. Pretty sure @realDonaldTrump starts around 400 retweets in the first couple of seconds after posting and goes up from there. pic.twitter.com/f5rThhdN6Y

After about an hour and a half, De Blasio was up to seven retweets, and an impressive ratio:
Sometimes we can’t help but think that Bill confuses mockery with “attacks”:
