Oscar de la Hoya, Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Anderson, Rick Reilly, Alice Cooper, Sports Illustrated editors, golf caddies, and other sources all say Donald Trump cheats at golf.

It is also known from multiple sources that Trump eats the finest and most expensive steaks "well done." And as this 2017 link about Trump and steaks states "food experts say it is a simple matter of science: Steaks with even a little bit of red in them are better than steaks without. This is a fact, a chemical and physical truth."

Just think of what alternative good all that money could have done for truly charitable purposes!
It can be argued that Donald Trump is "the least charitable billionaire in the United States."
Trump: The Least Charitable Billionaire | The Smoking Gun

Donald Trump also makes promises to give millions of dollars to charity, and then gives less than $10,000.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...ecb_story.html

And Donald Trump was found guilty in court of stealing money from his charitable foundation and using the money to buy sports memorabilia and champagne, and the court ordered Trump to pay a $2 million dollar fine for those acts.

Bloomberg on the other hand was "listed as a top 10 American philanthropist each year between 2004 and 2011." Bloomberg gives billions of dollars to charity for medical research, education and the arts. And Bloomberg has pledged to give over $30 billion dollars to charity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomb...hilanthropy-10

How ironic is it for a Trump supporter like yourself to attack Bloombergs charitable donations?

Bloomberg is spending his own money to run for president, and Bloomberg stands on a platform of raising taxes on the wealthy, raising min wages, and giving everyone healthcare. Who is the more honorable billionaire, Trump or Bloomberg?

Trump is right - "Mini Mike' has some manhood issues he needs to work out!
"Mini Mike" is a nickname Donald Trump calls Bloomberg (making fun of Bloomberg for being short.)

And you said ""Mini Mike' has some manhood issues he needs to work out!"

Is manhood judging other men for things like bravery, respect, and charity. Or is manhood making up nicknames for other men and making fun of them for being short?

Here you are shilling for mini-Mike who has yet to win a single delegate. This from some utoob and teevee adverts. Quite the standard you have.
Debates? Those are clown shows. Trump "won" them by telling people they are ugly.

You are right. I'm not interested in that stuff. I am interested in one thing...removing the cancer.

Can't be. They claim real men can't get trolled like that They are not snowflakes nor are they scared of anything. After all, since the chosen one is doing the Lords Work, there is absolutely nothing to fear.

All these Bloomberg threads must just be mistakes...

Or, the other possible explanation is that they think Mike till kick arse. You decide.

Why would he care in the least? He plays chess, not checkers. 50 Billion of his fortune has been made in the last 15 years or so......so if he spends 10 Billion he won't even notice it.

He has already mapped out the moves ahead. If he's not the nominee he pledged to spend vast sums on any and every Blue Candidate.

Didn't you know that?

Believe me, a New Yorker who served as Mayor of that place for over a decade isn't going to get rattled by the likes of melting right wingers or trolls.

Maybe, just maybe, he will offer Trump a few bucks for the remnants of the Trump failed properties and then tear them down....would be sorta fun to watch.

I wouldn't be surprised. Trump could then move to Russia and live it up...to avoid prosecution here.

Mike Bloomberg does give his money to charity. He has taken the Giving Pledge which is to donate most of his wealth in his lifetime or willed after he dies to charity.
Exactly, as long as Bloomberg gives away most his money, it doesn’t matter what the sexist and racist Candidate does.

But he doesn't. And won't.

He could not play as much golf and have the Secret Service stay in his properties..and save 100's of millions. But he won't.

Please - I've heard that real Righties never tell billionaires how to best spend their money. Don't lower yourself to such things.
Trump is thE most generous man there is. Look at the money he gave away before you spout off your dem views should say dim views! LOL

450 million dollars is pocket change to Bloomberg. These ads are not doing Trump any favors no matter who runs against him.

All true.

Funniest line I heard about Bloombergs' spending happened the day after the debate, when a talking head on TV observed "Mike Bloomberg just spent $450 million to get scalped by a fake Indian".
