Michael Bloomberg, Arrogant Elitist
American Thinker.com ^ | February 22, 2020 | Norman Rogers

Posted on 02/22/2020 6:47:12 AM PST by Kaslin

There is a YouTube video featuring Michael Bloomberg speaking at the University of Oxford on the verge of Trump’s inauguration in December 2016. The video reveals much about Bloomberg’s beliefs and thinking: He is dismissive of the working class, seeing them as ignorant and insufficiently intelligent to be able to find useful work in this advanced technological age. He sees himself as a member of an intellectual elite.

And the voters will quickly grasp his real opinion of them. They are unlikely to vote for someone who sees them as serfs in need of guidance and patronage from nobility such as himself.

In three years, Donald Trump has blown apart Bloomberg’s theory that the working class is composed of useless oafs. Under Trump’s policies, the workers that Bloomberg wrote off have found jobs and it wasn’t necessary for the government to hire them with make-work programs.

It is clear that Bloomberg’s mind rarely treads beyond the intellectual bounds of Manhattan and Wall Street. His description of agriculture is a comedy. He thinks there is nothing to it to run a farm and that any dumb person can be a farmer. Bloomberg may realize that food originates from farmers, not from grocery stores, but he has only a foggy idea of how that happens. He reveals himself as a classic New Yorker who is under the impression that the world ends at the Hudson river.

Bloomberg and Carl Pope, a former executive director of the Sierra Club, wrote a book together titled Climate of Hope.

It is Democrat Socialist vrs Democrat Fascist.

Bernie thinks the Govt should run everything. Mini Mike will let you keep what you own but use the Government to tell you everything you can, and cannot, do with it.

He is a fool playing in the hands of communists. Almost like he would be a communist plant to get workers united to torch the like of him, so stupid he is. Even my company J&J strives to use affirmative action and touchy feely stuff for workers to keep them dependent and divided. Bloomberg is popping the lead off of that.

Bourgeois socialist/totalitarian. Is there room in the Clown Car for little mikey or is he a hood ornament? The way he was beat up in the last debate (and since) they might have to rent the Hillary hearse in the future.

I was staying at Bally’s right next to Paris in Vegas when the clowns and fawning press were arriving. My sis was sure she saw the Bern getting out of one of the bp limos. There were flyers in our room to be prepared for unannounced inspections of our rooms, our luggage, out cars. SS agents were everywhere. We checked out before the actual event.

Napoleon was a military genius.

Bloomberg got lucky, once.

What the Left says about Trump, is true about Bloomberg

Someone who thinks he's so much smarter than me, who forces restaurants to take salt shakers off tables or won't let me buy a 32oz soft drink simply because he thinks he knows what's best for me, is not going to get my vote.

Yes. The same Carl Pope who screamed about Overpopulation for two decades until a guy in Newport Beach donated $100 million to the Sierra Club with a proviso: never condemn mass immigration again.

Because the guy’s wife was Mexican.

And so the Sierra Club - which frantically hectored the American populace from 1965 to 1995 about the evils of having children, AND of allowing mass immigration into the US - simply stopped talking about it.

Once bought, Pope stayed bought. Now he babbles about Climate Change - the new phrase for Global Warming which was discredited by the East Anglia email scandal - and still styles himself as an “environmentalist”. Assumptively he gets paid for making such noise.

Which shows you what it’s worth.

Strange. One summer between college years I took a job in a steel mill. Worked with "working class" men. Gained a lot of respect for them. They were good, hard-working guys who showed up on time every morning and did their jobs well. I despise left-wing politicians who patronize people like them while pretending to support them.

And that’s the bottom line. Trump’s support is genuine grass root support from real people. Bloomberg’s is entirely purchased. The latter may get him the nomination (even if it destroys the Democrat party in the process) but that won’t matter in the general election.

Good point. And how does someone who is spending like a drunken sailor to buy support truly gauge his support?

I don’t like the shrimp, and he’s SHORT, too!

One of his commercials talks about he worked his way up to the top from Dirt Poor.... But I guess no one else can do that?!?!?!?
