For those working on President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, the volatility of the Democrats’ nomination process has been seen generally as a good omen so far. But there are signs that the president is becoming increasingly concerned about the aggressive advertising spending being undertaken by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s campaign.

A report from Politico shows that Bloomberg’s advertising blitz – which has already included more than $250 million in spending in his campaign for the Democratic nomination – might be getting under Trump’s skin. According to insiders, Trump spends much of his day watching news programs, and it is during these shows that Bloomberg’s ad spots frequently appear. One insider said that the president has seemed particularly focused on the former mayor since January, often discussing Bloomberg’s growing campaign staff and ad spending.

Both men notably went head to head earlier this month when each spent $10 million on advertising time during the Super Bowl.

Some of those who spoke with Politico said Trump’s increasingly paying attention to Bloomberg not because he’s worried about him as a political opponent, but because “he’s very reactive to what he sees [on TV] and the fact that Bloomberg’s ads are all over.”

1. No, shithole's aids, staffers, all around mini cons . . .

do not have any "good" feeling so far about the elections. That is a lie.

As to commercials concerning his failures and "looks", his lack of brain density, all the opposition need to pile on . . .

Shithole is already insane and I'm thinkking of white jackets . . .

2. Good, keep it up Mike. Drive him crazier than he already is.

3. Mike's ads are brilliant.

They are hard hitting, edgy and personal. I’m sure knowing it’s making Twitler nuts puts a smile on his face. He has the money to keep this up until the election even if he doesn’t get the nomination. I hope he does.

11. He is making a concerted effort to be a spoiler in this one.

He will be putting ads out there after the primaries and convention. Mike is our equalizer.

4. We may get lucky

Bloomberg is pushing his buttons and hopefully he will manage to push the right one.

6. Not the Nuke button I hope. Just the Coke (or Adderall) button, right?

8. I was referring to a button to cause a medical emergency

...for DT! He looks like he is so close sometimes and I don't think Putin and he planned on Bloomberg.
Try to visualize him clutching his heart, staggering around, and then keeling over. I also enjoy the mental picture of him just completely losing it and not being able to speak properly. I know, I know--his base will just say he is speaking in tongues, but the men in white coats will come and wrap him in a straightjacket. I am quite sure you have a few mental pictures of him imploding as well

10. I won't share my mental pictures.

Very graphic, and the men could come for me!

5. I have to thank Bloomberg for this

He knows Trump and knows how to get to him. I wonder if they're going to start manufacturing dirt on Bloomberg.

I understand Bloomberg has promised to support the Dem candidate if he doesn't win the primary. Good on him for that, too.

7. Bloomberg gets it

you have to fight dirty with Trump - nothing else gets through to him......that is sad, but true

[lagomorph777]

12. Bloomberg could probably target the ads with the help of a psy-ops expert.

Craft the ads specifically to make Pres. Turd spin in circles, froth at the mouth, and flop around on the floor apoplectically. Hmm, now that I think of it, would anybody notice?
