Donald Trump uses his rally to rail against Democrats suggesting Mike Bloomberg is his cheap spinoff

Donald Trump used the Democratic debate Wednesday as ammunition at his rally in Colorado Springs Thursday night, specifically railing against fellow billionaire Mike Bloomberg.

‘I don’t know if anybody watched last night’s debate, it got very big ratings. And you know what? Mini Mike didn’t do well last night,’ he said to the room of thousands of supporters.

‘I was going to send him a note saying, ‘It’s not easy doing what I do, is it?” Trump suggested.

‘I don’t know. It’s not easy Mike. It’s not easy for any of them. No, Mike didn’t do too well. He went way down,’ the president insisted.

‘I don’t know if anybody watched last night’s debate, it got very big ratings. And you know what? Mini Mike didn’t do well last night,’ he said, hitting at billionaire Mike Bloomberg, who faced an onslaught of criticism

The two billionaire’s are very different heights, with former New York City mayor standing at 5ft 7in and the president at 6ft 3in.

Trump hosted a rally in Colorado Springs, Colorado Thursday night and it took him almost no time before attacking Democrats vying to take him on in November.

He also claimed that Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar choked and said in his book her campaign died with her debate performance Wednesday.

‘How about Koobcuahr. Did you see her? She choked. She choked,’ he said to a jeering crowd. ‘She couldn’t breath.’

‘Alfred E. Neuman looked at her and says something slightly derogatory,’ Trump said, using the bame he has likened to former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg. ‘And she said, ‘Are you accusing me of being dumb?’

‘Who would make a statement like that?’ the president questioned. ‘Because that’s really what he’s doing, but he doesn’t want to say that. No, no, how about that. ‘Are you saying I’m dumb?’ That was the end of her campaign in my book. You don’t say that. Even if it’s true, you don’t say that.’

The rally at Broadmoor World Arena, which has a capacity of more than 8,000, was held as part of a rare four-day campaign stint on the west coast as Democrats took their campaigns there with both a debate and the third primary contest.

Trump also held a rally in Phoenix, Arizona on Wednesday night as Democrats hosted their ninth primary debate in Las Vegas, Nevada around the same time.

And the president will hold another reelection rally for the third night in a row on Friday in Las Vegas – as Democrats prepare for the second-in-the-nation caucuses in Nevada on Saturday.

Mike Bloomberg entered the Democratic primary race in mid-November, and swiftly rose in the rankings among the dwindling field of candidates as he used his own deep pockets to increase his exposure in a series of television and social media ads.

The former New York City mayor immediately became one of Trump’s favorite targets – and the president often bashes the fellow billionaire on Twitter, calling him ‘mini Mike’ in a hit to his height.

After taking a night off from his sharp attacks on the Democratic candidates during his Phoenix rally Wednesday night, the president was ready and came out swinging.

Trump’s recent campaign strategy is not subtle, as he holds reelection rallies in the same states as Democrats are in for either debates or primary contests.

Although Trump is facing virtually no real primary competition, he is still aiming for winning big and breaking records for voter and caucus turnout for an incumbent president.

While Pete Buttigieg took the victory for Democrats in Iowa, Senator Bernie Sanders emerged the winner in New Hampshire.
