Trump Jr. Savages Bloomberg After His Campaign Announcement Flops
Billionaire and ex-NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg put an end to the weeks of speculation and officially announced his candidacy for President on Twitter Sunday. The tweet was met with a negative response and many social media users were upset that he was entering the Democratic race at this late stage. The tweet was met with so much anger it was “ratioed”. This means receiving many more comments than retweets. This is defined by Dictionary.com as “on the social media platform Twitter, a ratio, or getting ratioed, is when replies to a tweet vastly outnumber likes or retweets. This means people are objecting to the tweet and considering its content bad.”
I’m running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America.

The fact that the tweet was ratioed was not issued by First Son, Donald Trump Jr. He tweeted to his 4+ million followers (almost double that of Bloomberg) that his post about Bloomberg not having a personality and buying followers would get more retweets than Bloomberg’s announcement. At the writing of this article, Trump Jr. has 7,000 retweets to Bloomberg’s 4,800.
I guess you can buy followers, but not Retweets or personality? Who wants to bet this gets more RTs than Bloomberg's announcement? https://t.co/b3Ph9FaK4l
