VIDEO: Bloomberg “Donald Trump is a Great Guy, I’m a Big Fan of Donald Trump”
An old video of Michael Bloomberg praising Donald Trump calling him a “great guy,” has resurfaced. Bloomberg, like many others, had great things to say about Trump before he became president.
In the video clip, George Stephanopoulos of Good Morning America asked Bloomberg his thoughts about Trump getting into the presidential race, before the 2012 election.
“America’s a wonderful country. Everybody who’s born here and is over 35 has the opportunity,” Bloomberg replied.
“I know Donald Trump. He’s a great guy. He doesn’t do everything he says, but he sure tries. And I’m a big fan of Donald Trump,” added Bloomberg.
It’s a far cry from the things Bloomberg has been saying about Trump lately.

Bloomberg’s recent campaign ad compares President Trump to bullies in movies and television shows.
Bloomberg tweeted, “He lies. He bullies. He gets away with it. Our kids are watching Donald Trump. Is this the lesson we want them to learn?”
He lies. He bullies. He gets away with it.

During a Twitter fight, Trump called the former mayor “a mass of dead energy” and Bloomberg attacked back by calling him a “carnival barking clown.”
.@realDonaldTrump - we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence.

I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will. https://t.co/fO4azmZaUg
Bloomberg tweeted he “can’t trust a word” Trump says.
Can't trust a word you say - and now you want us to believe you?
