25. How many of Trump's voters or supporters are mainly attracted by his claimed money/acumen?

His claims of being great at running a business may have got Trump his initial publicity and Republicans taking him seriously, but he's not really keeping his acolytes with that now. They like him because he hates the same people they do, "sticks it to the libs", and because they think he wins, and they want to support "the winner".

Bloomberg's money would only make if difference if he actually did run and spend it. He could afford endless ads, until it's drummed into the Trumpists' head that Trump really is an anti-American crook who is only out for himself and whichever foreign authoritarian bids enough to own him.

The New York mouth wouldn't win over Trump supporters. They only put up with Trump's because of the hate that spews out of his. Bloomberg's attitude to guns, and his being Jewish, would actively put off the deplorables.
