Mike Bloomberg is haunted by his past chumminess with Donald Trump, the man he wants to boot from office
As Mike Bloomberg rises in the polls and lands on the debate stage, his past interactions with Donald Trump are coming back to haunt him.
Before a crowd at the business school at Oxford University, Bloomberg relayed a lighthearted story about speaking with Trump after a Sept. 11, 2001 memorial service apparently in 2016. "I saw your speech in Philadelphia," Trump told Bloomberg, a seeming reference to Bloomberg's takedown of Trump at the Democratic National Convention that summer.
"And we had a good laugh," Bloomberg continued. "If you’ve sat and had dinner with Donald Trump, you’d probably walk away saying everything he just said is bullshit, he can’t be doing that. But you have a good time. He is socially a nice person. Will he be a good president? I hope so. Because we desperately need leadership in the country and the world.”
On Tuesday, in a statement to POLITICO, the Bloomberg campaign downplayed the former New York City mayor's past praise of the president.
