Piker. He spent a lot more on that on a vanity campaign that failed.

Don’t know the truth of course, but George Webb IIRC said Bloomie was just a conduit for CIA drug money being laundered and channeled by him. That wasn’t his billion going into his campaign.

How pathetic! This nyc bum spends $600,000,000 (mainly giving money to support the anti-America/anti-President-Trump media) and yet can’t even give his measly $40,000,000 to support USA people in this chinese virus difficulty. Instead, he want to help weirdos in whack countries.

Exactly.

If he had been elected President, he would have been paying everyone in the world BUT Americans - USING OUR MONEY.

To those who voted for him, this is a small window of what his presidency would have been like - Everyone but Americans. They hate us. That is what you get when you vote for a democrat. YOU are to blame and will be held financially accountable for the rest of your life, working to send money to others who HATE us.

Dems are screwed up in the head.

Not wishing ill on anyone but if bloomberg got hit with coronavirus, I wouldn’t feel the least bit of sorrow.

He spent 500 million for the privilege of getting abused by Pocahontas.
