Let’s compare @realDonaldTrump to @MikeBloomberg.

I’ve despised Bloomberg for years, but I was still shocked by THIS:

After Mike Bloomberg’s rule for hospitals, FDA panel votes to restrict use of painkillers
Federal Drug Administration advisers voted today to restrict access to certain kinds of prescription drugs in an effort to fight drug abuse
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/after-mike-bloombergs-rule-for-hospitals-fda-panel-votes-to-restrict-use-of-painkillers

mentions This is an old article about one of Obama’s illegal actions.

His FDA implemented a new law after Congress failed to pass it.
mentions “Under the new rules, refills without a new prescription would be forbidden, as would faxed prescriptions and those called in by phone.”
mentions “Only written prescriptions from a doctor would be allowed, and pharmacists and distributors would be required to store the drugs in special vaults.”
mentions “Advocates for nursing home patients said older, frail residents needing pain medication would now be required to make the arduous trip to a doctor’s office to continue using hydrocodone products.”
mentions So what’s Bloomberg’s response?

Keep in mind that he’s a billionaire, and he never followed any of the restrictions he imposed on everybody else.

He’s told that the new law is going to be hard on older, sick people.
mentions “Number one, there’s no evidence of that. Number two, supposing it is really true, so you didn’t get enough painkillers and you did have to suffer a little bit. The other side of the coin is people are dying and there’s nothing perfect.”
mentions TYPICAL LIMOUSINE LIBERAL.

That is rich. Predictable. Elites looking down on a segment of people thinking they can portray them accurately while being condescending and prejudice in their observed assumptions. Tom Wolfe can write those books well. Politically minded upstarts and journalists can not.
