Wtf, is he going to crown himself president like the guy in Venezuela?

He should do what he does best , buy the votes he needs. Or is that not working well for this clown BloombergIsRacist

Don't care who it is or what party they represent, it's irresponsible to add confusion to the masses. WHO and CDC are the ones who can provide factual information.

Good job politicizing it, MiniMike!

This is his dream scenario, telling everyone what to do all the time. We would wake up to rain alerts and umbrella reminders.

Bloomberg has said a person can't get coronavirus (Covid-19) contact tranfer on flights. The article also airplanes have filters that can pretty much filter out coronavirus in the air. Everything I read from CDC and WHO says all the opposite. Not trying to spook, just noticed it.

Ugh

Hey Mini Mike....

he is a fool

Jumping the shark with this. Little to gain and a lot to lose by yoking yourself to this crisis as a candidate for office!

🤮

Ever get ad fatigue, that's exactly where we are at with MikeBloomberg. I wouldn't give him my vote if he paid for it. DropOutBloomberg

Kudos to B’berg for the PSA meanwhile the asshole that occupies the White House says the virus is a hoax. Tell that to family of the deceased

_3rd_Derivative Trump and his goons can’t stop the public from getting the necessary information it needs.

Wonder if it’ll be about his connections/roles with the WHO and/or his work in Wuhan?

Who does he think this will impress, especially among democrats? This just smells of desperation, ego, and flaunting his cash because he can. Yes Trump is handling this situation like an uneducated buffoon, but an ad like this doesn't help matters any.

The minute scientists come out with studies showing that you can bribe the coronavirus to go away, I'll want to hear from Bloomberg. Otherwise, that ad space could be going towards people who actually know what they're talking about.

Mini is going to spend a billion and not win a single state. Lol, mini.

Probably will blame it on soda

Quite the annoying little guy...

Lucky I don’t have ads

I don’t think he actually wants to win. I think he’s just there to chip away at Trump’s fragile ego. Which makes me kinda like him.

Who in the world would sit thru a 3 min political commercial without changing the channel?!!!!

I like MikeBloomberg but this is going to backfire.

Yay for politicizing something in hopes to win favor for a vote. Cretins will be cretins, especially those with the money to power it, unfortunately...

OMG. This is very very inappropriate

Can't wait to miss this one.
