US Democrat Bloomberg says Trump is 'flunking' as president

[CNA] TYSONS, VIRGINIA: Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg took his case against President Donald Trump for a test run on Friday (Jan 25), as the possible 2020 presidential candidate told Democratic business leaders that his fellow New York billionaire was "flunking".

"I think it's clear this president at this point cannot be helped, and the training wheels that the staff tried to put on in the Oval Office have not worked," said Bloomberg, a 76-year-old media mogul who served three terms as New York mayor. "The president is just flunking every single test."

Bloomberg repeatedly hinted that he could mount a campaign for the Democratic nomination and join a large field hoping to challenge Trump in the November 2020 election.

The billionaire political activist and founder of a media company that bears his name would bring a famous brand and business background to the field of Democrats that is expected to grow to as many as two dozen.

"We’ve got to make sure we’ve got someone different in the White House and I’m committed to that," Bloomberg said. "Who here would hire Donald Trump to run their company? No. We’re his boss though. We’re the board of directors. And we should do what any board of directors would do in the private sector."

#1 This is rich, coming from a man whose signature 'achievement' as mayor of NYC was the banning of 32 oz. plastic cups.

Bloomberg repeatedly hinted that he could mount a campaign for the Democratic nomination...

At least he'll be in the right party this time around.

#6 Compared to all the rest currently listed as future Democrat Presidential candidates, Mr. Bloomberg is the best of the lot... and Trump would mop the floor with him in the general election. Besides, all the money he would spend on his candidacy can only help the national economy.

#8 For a billionaire who makes his money selling market data and information just flunked himself. Unemployment claims are lowest since Nixon was President. And by the way this is real number; not adjusted for size of population or size of economy.
