This is nothing more than sorry attempt by a campaign to get attention over the realization that it will be increasingly difficult to win enough delegates to secure the Dem nomination, no matter how much money it spends.
International disaster relief is not for the faint- hearted.
Corporate and country donations/ pledges for disaster relief often come with strings attached.
Company X agrees to sell trailer homes to a relief org at a steep discount. Never mind they have a surplus because FEMA determined them to be tin cans, following NOLA.
The Haitian recipients claimed they lacked AC- never mind they had no AC or a power sources for it.
If I recall correctly, the Red Cross pulled out of Haitian relief efforts because of the dysfunction and corruption in the country and did so after raising half a $ billion for Haitian relief. Clearly some of that dysfunction was of their own making.
Today, the people of Haiti HATE the Clinton's. That probably doesn't matter too much in a US election, but Trump would certainly throw that at her given the chance. The whole Clinton Foundation is not easily defended either, even though nobody's gone to jail over it.
The American public now understand that politicians can be corrupt, yet still avoid conviction, or prison time. It keeps recurring over, and over again, on both sides of the aisle, so people have wised up.
Hillary's got more alleged corruption baggage than any other nationally known politician who is still in the game. Bloomberg doesn't need that distraction/drag.
He needs a young, and highly likeable, VP to offset his lack of personality, and his age.
I hope Mike gets the nomination. At least he's not a Socialist like Bernie. Warren and Klobuchar have voted left of Bernie in the Senate, so I consider them too far left too. I could survive Mike if he were able to upset Trump.
Bloomberg camp has nothing to gain from publicizing, even surreptitiously under the radar, that Clinton communicated with BB. It's actually an election liability for him. They either know or don't know that. It is no effective tactic if originating from Bloomberg's side.
This is 2020. Saying anything that goes viral is a "win" if you suck the media oxygen away from your opponents. Bad news can be good news if you go viral. This is how Trump operates, he says outrageous things because he wants social media eyeballs. Bloomberg's media company already has social media gurus and marketers on board, no doubt they know this.
Bloomberg got the viral "win" here. And tactically the rumor does help him because some Hillary supporters are Biden followers and this might nudge some of them over to Mike's side.

It's a negative viral. It's not good for his campaign.
Poor Trump Haters. They've abandoned "front runner", "most electable", "middle class" Joe because they thing Bloomberg can outspend Trump to win. Dropped him like a hot potato. It's amazing to see. Must be a miserable way to live. Now they're upset their last "most everything" candidate, Hillary Clinton might be back.

If you're a Hillary supporter it's positive viral. Regardless, he's trying to shake things up, get attention, and worm his way into becoming a contender for the nomination. His conventional and social media blitzes are working. We'll see if he can compete against Sanders' ground game and foot soldiers.

It has nothing to do with Trump or Trump supporters. Everyone knows that Joe is a buffoon. Hillary will do nothing to increase Mike's chances. That's all.
