…..Mini is illegally buying the Democrat Nomination. They are taking it away from Bernie again. Mini Mike, Major Party Nominations are not for sale! Good luck in the debate tomorrow night and remember, no standing on boxes!

Less than an hour later, Bloomberg responded to Trump. The former mayor of New York City questioned the president, asking why he has an interest in running against Bernie Sanders.
Why do you want to run against Bernie so badly? https://t.co/HOnHap4QdL

Then, Trump responded less than 30 minutes later. The president assured Bloomberg that he’d rather run against him and not Sanders. It’s worth noting that Sanders, like others, has accused Bloomberg of just purchasing his way through the 2020 election.
Mini Mike. No, I would rather run against you!
