Michael Bloomberg, who is mulling a run for the Democratic presidential nomination, will spend $34 million to run just one week of ads bashing President Donald Trump, according to a new report.
The ad campaign is slated to run nearly nationwide beginning on Monday, and comes one day after Bloomberg filed paperwork creating a presidential campaign committee, according to Politico.
Bloomberg is worth $52 billion according to Forbes, and reportedly plans to spend up to $500 million of his fortune seeking the presidency.
The gargantuan ad buy is possibly the largest one-week spend in U.S. political history, eclipsing the $30 million then-President Barack Obama dropped in a week while seeking re-election in 2012.
The initial ad buy will see ads running in all but two of the contiguous 48 states, according to tracking firm Advertising Analytics.
Bloomberg committed this past week to spending $100 million in digital ads aimed just at Trump and another $15 to $20 million to register half a million voters.

Good way to throw away money seeing as how they are already broadcasting anti Trump for free.
You may be filthy rich Bloomy, but you are no Donald John Trump.
Spend to your blessed hearts content.
>>And it won’t make one damned bit of difference.<<
It will be the Charlie Brown trombone wha wha with an “orange man bad” in the middle somewhere.
Nothing unexpected in Real America.
No one cares Michael. Go Trump.
$34 Million in all of those states won’t buy much air time unless the networks are giving a steep discount.
Do it Mikey, it will be good for the economy and
won’t do a thing to stop Trump.
Why? The entire media complex is against him...and that’s free. I’m sure Warren will be condemning this since she’s against money in politics
Is that legal? Doesn’t seem like soft money.
