The way Mike Bloomberg tells it, after Donald Trump was elected president and before he assumed office, the fellow New York City businessman "let it be known that he wanted a call from me." Bloomberg obliged.
The two "had a pleasant conversation," the Democratic presidential candidate and former New York City mayor said, adding that Mr. Trump gave Bloomberg his personal cellphone number. But, Bloomberg said, he didn't bother to write it down.
"I said, 'Look, you've got to get people that have knowledge of each of these areas: defense and finance and commerce and all of these things that he knows nothing about," Bloomberg told CBS News.
"I said. 'If you could get good people and delegate to them, then you can have a decent administration.' And he said, 'Thank you very much.' He couldn't have been more polite, as I remember."
Bloomberg smiled, then said, "He did give me his private cell phone number, which I didn't bother to write down. And I've never talked to him since."
CBS News asked where Bloomberg was on the night of the 2016 election. "I don't remember election night," Bloomberg replied, then paused. His eyes lit up. "Actually, I do remember election night."
"Everybody was talking about that Trump was gonna win. And the stock market was going to collapse. Half of that was true."
Bloomberg continued, "But I thought days before that Hillary was in trouble. I remember being at a dinner, and maybe 10 couples around the table. Somebody said -- it's a throwaway line -- 'Anybody here kind of vote for Donald Trump?' And two thirds of the people put up their hands, and I said, 'Oh, Hillary is going to have a problem."'

I call b.s. You don’t have to write phone numbers down anymore.
They were all his friends at one point or another.
Trump doesn’t know anything about finance and commerce. Yet my 401K is booming like never before...
This is Bloomberg (”Kill it!”) in capsule form. A no-nothing nanny.
Did you ever notice that when you get a new phone and they transfer all of your data from the prior phone, that even names you’ve deleted show back up?
Cool story, little guy.
Now you seem even smaller.
I betcha Trump can produce call records showing incoming from Bloomie sometime after 1/20/2017.
O, please. He probably clutches it to his breast and stares at it in bed all night.
He’s such a precious little munchkin!
How can someone that stupid be that rich?
I call double-b.s.
Napoleon syndrome.
--Somewhere in The Bible.
He’s basically saying that he acquired direct access to the most powerful man in the world. They had a lovely conversation. Bloomberg was, in effect, handed the President’s private cell number — and Bloomberg basically threw it away, apparently thinking, “This will never be useful to me. Why should I hold on to this?”
Who does that? And who would admit to doing that? Any way you slice it, this is something a dumb person would do.
... and Bloomberg knows about defense, foreign policy etcetera just how again? This story is pure BS but if you believe it Is suggest voting for the New York billionaire who actually has experience leading a country and that is not Bloomberg.
Bloomie then went to farm country to show even a billionaire can stand near a tractor and not look stupid.
"Minnesota needs more immigrants----plus they're shorter."
ISGAS.
I Scarcely Give A .......
I wonder if MiniMike knows that is a sprayer, not a tractor
