Former New York City Mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg mocked President Trump during his Democratic National Convention address, calling out his terrible record both as a president and as a businessman.
"Would you rehire or work for someone who ran your business into the ground?" Bloomberg said. "Who always does what's best for him or her, even when it hurts the company, and whose reckless decisions put you in danger, and who spends more time tweeting than working?"
"If the answer is no," he continued, "why the hell would we ever rehire Donald Trump for another four years?"

In the biting speech, Bloomberg brought up Trump's past business failures, including his many bankruptcies.
"Trump says we should vote for him because he's a great businessman. Really?" he said. "He drove his companies into bankruptcy six times, always leaving behind customers and contractors who were cheated and swindled and stopped doing business with him. Well, this time, all of us are paying the price, and we can't let him get away with it again."
He also brought up Trump's inability to pass real legislation and said that, if Joe Biden is elected, Democrats would roll back the Trump administration's tax cuts benefiting the wealthy — including Bloomberg himself (who is worth over $50 billion.)
Bloomberg began running for president himself in 2019, but dropped out in March 2020 and endorsed Joe Biden.
Why would anyone vote to reelect Donald Trump?
Oh that's easy.
Nearly 180,000 dead from the corona virus.
Riots in the streets
Economy in the shitter
Unemployment in the double digit range.
All the projection last night Cleary stated that the aforementioned would be happing under a Biden presidency. The truth is that these things are happing NOW under Trump.
You honestly blame Trump?
Of Democrat run cities. That's a political game they are playing. Reality of it is they are only making Democrats look more like incompetent boobs than we already gave them credit for.
Due to the virus. Before the virus it was the great.

Hell yes... Happened on his watch! It may have started in China but the shitty response by his administration puts the deaths on HIM.
I'm sure you some how think that the economy was shit on 19JAN17, but Magicly healed on 20JAN17. Trump inherited a solid economy and got to ride the inertia created by the work put in by the previous administration. And the word is inertia.
And the riots..... Not a fucking word about addressing the root cause from this administration. The murder of black men by police. You're silent on it too. You must be in approval.
