New video has surfaced of Mike Bloomberg explaining the time he told Donald Trump he loves him as the former New York City mayor continues to face scrutiny for his past friendship with the president.

I heard Michael Bloomberg telling trump that we measure a man from the neck up
And my 1st thought was “Not if your trying to get on a ride at Disney Land”
The Bloomin’ Idiot’s past sayings are an absolute gold mine for oppo research.
lol
Finally we hear Mike Bloomberg say something positive about somebody: and it’s Donald Trump.
Little Mike says he’ll go “toe to toe” with Trump, but what about ... (wait for it)
“Face to Face”. haha
It appears that most of the 1% in any particular area of the country do know each other. They may or may not be ‘friends’, but they know who must be dealt with for various deals and avenues of influence.
I think Trump has learned all he could ever need to know about such celebrity “friends” by now.
