Trump Dubs Mike Bloomberg "Mini Mike," Says He's Trying to Get A Hidden Lift Set Up Behind Podium to Hide His Shortness; Leftwing Media Then Can't Stop Talking About How Short Bloomberg Is

@realDonaldTrump

Mini Mike is part of the Fake News. They are all working together. In fact, Bloomberg isn't covering himself (too boring to do), or other Dems. Only Trump. That sounds fair! It's all the Fake News Media, and that’s why nobody believes in them any more.

@realDonaldTrump

Many of the ads you are watching were paid for by Mini Mike Bloomberg. He is going nowhere, just wasting his money, but he is getting the DNC to rig the election against Crazy Bernie, something they wouldn't do for @CoryBooker and others. They are doing it to Bernie again, 2016.

@realDonaldTrump

Mini Mike is now negotiating both to get on the Democrat Primary debate stage, and to have the right to stand on boxes, or a lift, during the debates. This is sometimes done, but really not fair!

@piersmorgan

Donald Trump’s got the whole of America talking about whether Michael Bloomberg is so small he’ll need to stand on a box for TV debates. This is indisputably a form of genius, stable or otherwise.

And of course egg-shaped Jeff Zucker Sextoy Brian Stelter had to get in on the action:

stelterbloombergshort

I'm still baffled by this "without evidence" locution from CNN, the sleazy propaganda outfit that ran a Hillary-funded conspiracy theory for four whole years.

But meanwhile, Trump repeats something he's heard about someone he doesn't like -- which is CNN's only criterion for newsworthiness -- and it's a foul?

I do enjoy Trump making his yapping bitch-dogs at CNN chase the newest rumor.

_______________

I was on a game show once and one of the other contestants had to stand on a box, because the producers wanted us all to look similarly-sized, and I'm quite tall. We were behind podiums, so you couldn't see his box, but he did almost fall off of it at one point.

Ironically, the game show was produced by Donald Trump.

84 I'm 6' 5" tall--or was at age 19 a long time ago. I was well aware of the "short man's disease". Guys like Bloomberg (along with others similarly "vertically challenged") tend to have a chip on their shoulder about their lack of stature. The good thing about that chip is that it's not too far off the ground.

The bad thing about that chip is that it can provoke a shorty--looking up at a taller guy--to say or do foolish things.

I knew a couple of shorts at age 19 that I could set off just by grinning at them. Trump no doubt has had the same experience. Yo Trump! Go for it with Mini Mike Bloomberg.

118 Uhhh...no. Bloomberg is not comparable to James Madison, the Founding Father. There was a clip on here earlier of Bloomberg saying the Chinese dictator is not a dictator-that he is responsive to his peoples concern about the environment. Bloomberg is obviously smart in some ways, but NOT as smart as Madison and I expect not as pleasant of a person

That's as may be but the average height of a man back then was 5'6.

I've never looked at DeNiro the same, and never will again, after seeing that platform shoes pic.

Yeah, that made me bust out laughing so hard. I wonder how often he sprains an ankle. It reminded me of the Scott of the Antarctic sketch on Monty Python where she's standing in a trench and he's got boxes tied to his boots.

133 That's just it eh?

My favorite is when they insist something has been disproved. And their evidence it has been disproved is the person accused saying "That's been disproved."

Joe Biden comes to mind - when Republicans say there is something wrong with that relationship, between hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and Burisma, they always say "that has been disproved." When? by who? how? legally or morally? their answer is to quote Joe Biden saying it was not true. that's it.

Trump's hair isn't fake, it's just weird, although it's less weird looking now that he has stopped coloring it that odd orangish/blond color he had before, and letting it go more naturally white/gray.

He still does the goofy comb-over thing though. But lots of older men do that.

261 Speaking of Bloomberg -- this is really egregious:

Bloomberg.com publishes an article about how Twitter banned ZeroHedge for "doxxing" (not really) the name of a Chinese doctor in Wuhan who "knows why the epidemic started." (Zerohedge didn't doxx him, merely linked to his publicly available online profile on the hospital Web site). Somehow Twitter deemed this to be "doxxing" and used it as an excuse to ban ZeroHedge's founder "Tyler Durden" forever.

AND THEN...in the same article, Bloomberg.com takes great glee in DOXXING THE REAL NAME OF "TYLER DURDEN" -- real doxxing, not the fake doxxing reported about in the Twitter ban:

NYC is a very weird political environment, don't remember Bloomie doing much more than inheriting Rudy's successes and general good feelings.

His anti-freedom (anti-gun) stuff is very ham-handed and crude and mostly unsuccessful, and where things have gone south he had nothing to do with it (hi, dumb bigoted voters!!!). Think his mayors against icky guns thing turned out to have half its membership with outstanding warrants and pending indictments.

Any short person who *isn't* asking for boxes is a fool. Asking for one and standing on one may get you mocked, but peering over the top of the podium like a 12 year old is much worse.

Still, even so, Trump is sort of horribly brilliant about this and I have to agree with Piers.

322 I heard a funny story about Shawn Bradley once. At the MTC, a lot of missionaries play basketball when they get a chance. The system there for getting to play next is everyone waiting gets in line and shoots a free throw. If you make it before the court is full (four players per side I think), then you get to play. When Bradley was at the MTC he didn't get to play much basketball. Like most 7'6" giants, he wasn't very good at free throws.

She rested her feet on mine when we were sitting opposite at a restaurant because they wouldn't reach the floor. It was cute, but I do know that being short does make life a bit harder. Stuff is built for a certain x height, and you need others to reach stuff for you. I can see for guys how that would really be annoying and potentially emasculating.

The house we live in was built in 1919, so it has tall ceilings but short fixtures. The sink in the bathroom is low, the mirror is so low I have to stoop to see anything over my mustache. I wonder who it was built for, because I'm not enormously tall, just over 6'2.

This.

He has gone around and around with Nadler for years in NYC. He has known Schumer for a long time, and thought that Anthony Weiner (Schumer protege) was a real schmuck way before the rest of us caught on.
And Bloomberg too.
Likely Bloomberg is no taller than 5'6" tall, and maybe shorter.

400 Just scouring the internet for pictures of Bloomberg standing next to people reveals that there is not a single picture of him standing next to anyone where he either taller or of equal height to anyone he stands next to, man or women.

Conclusion, Bloomberg is significantly shorter than average height.

No B.S., I've scared people out of lines. It's usually a little old lady.

Basic scenario goes like this: I'm in a line at a bank. There are five or six people in line. Little old lady is a couple people ahead of me. Because the line is taking some time, eventually people who aren't attached to their phones look around. I'll see the LOL slowly turn, spot me, startle, then leave.

I feel so bad whenever it happens. I don't even dress like a scary person. I'm just big.

Bloomberg is 5' 8" and the average white American adult male is 5' 10".
So there's not much substance to Trump calling Bloomberg "Mini Mike."

at debates, which could be a big deal on TV.

Speaking of accidental intimidation, I was rounding a corner in a bar just as this guy came from the other direction. Guy obviously was looking for a fight and had his "I'm ready to rumble" face on...and realized he was looking at my sternum.

It was hilarious to see the fight drain right out of this guys face.

And it wasn't like the guy was looking for me, he appeared to just be mad at the world.

Even more amusing, all I had was height, because I'm on the thin side.

448 I'll tell you what's really unnerving, it's when you can't tell whether you're taller or shorter than another guy. I was in a housing situation where the girl had her boyfriend move in. He's about my height.

Guys sometimes think they're shorter than others because they look at the top of the other guy's head and that means looking up. You have to look at the other guy's eye to judge, are you looking up or down at that? And I'm looking at this guy's eyes and as best I can tell I'm looking flat level.

So I ask the girl and she says I think you're both the same height. This is not satisfactory. If he's taller than I am I will assimilate this fact, if I am taller than he I will decorously hide my gloating.

But this you're the same there's not one who is taller nonsense is bullshit.

Leftists, like Satan, can't laugh at themselves. It takes away from the aura of infallibility.



And almost invariably, the ones who say they can laugh at themselves
always do in in the context of mocking someone else - e.g., the dog
eating crackhead's "yeah, I suck at bowling, but at least I'm not in the
Special Olympics, yuk yuk yuk!"
