Hillary Clinton wrote the book on how to run a bad campaign and loose an election, but Michael Bloomberg is a maverick and is rewriting the rules. With the most embarrassing social media team ever, the billionaire busybody thinks he can attract young voters by acting cool and hip. Actually, he thinks he can get elected by identifying as a meatball. No, seriously, a meatball.
We’ve already seen some awesome failure from Team Bloomberg when they tweeted out a picture of Bloomy looking angrily at a plate of brisket, thinking it was ribs. Somehow this social media campaign got worse. During last night’s democratic debate that Bloomberg couldn’t buy his way into, his people sent out the stupidest tweet storm in recorded history:
Mike owns a small weekend place on the moon. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate

Mike can telepathically communicate with dolphins. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate

In a Bloomberg Adminstration, there will be no tweeting from the Oval Office. Just an aggressive number of TikToks. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate
— Team Bloomberg (@Mike2020) January 15, 2020
Mike has a deep respect for facts and science, except for the ridiculous “round Earth” conspiracy theory. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate

In lieu of an inaugural address, Mike plans on singing “Shallow” with Lady Gaga. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate
— Team Bloomberg (@Mike2020) January 15, 2020
If that doesn’t make the ancient billionaire relatable to millennials maybe some of this rich old guy aloofness will do it:
While Mike is currently the 14th richest person in the world, that position could change depending on how he does tonight at the dog track. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate

Last year alone, Mike spent over $200 million dollars on scratch-off lottery tickets. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate

Mike’s house is designed to look exactly like the interior of the Millennium Falcon. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate

And for some reason there was a lot of food-related tweets:
Mike is a fervent opponent of the bad NRA (National Rifle Association), but a proud supporter of the other NRA (National Rigatoni Alliance). #BloombergFacts #DemDebate
— Team Bloomberg (@Mike2020) January 15, 2020
What’s your #DemDebate #DebateSnack? If you want to sample Mike’s spicy guacamole, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Mike 2020 headquarters and Mike will send you a scoop!

Mike has eaten clams casino for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for the past 30 years. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate
— Team Bloomberg (@Mike2020) January 15, 2020
Which culminated in this:
Test your political knowledge:
SPOT THE MEATBALL THAT LOOKS LIKE MIKE. pic.twitter.com/CkzdgwpzdI— Team Bloomberg (@Mike2020) January 15, 2020
Clearly what is going on here is that Bloomberg is culturally appropriating by identifying as a meatball. As someone of Swedish descent, I find that incredibly offensive. We consider “meatball” an ethnic slur. Where’s the Viking Anti-Defamation League on this one?
They say that money can’t buy happiness, which is a lie, but money definitely can’t buy relevance. With all of Bloomberg’s billions, the best he can do is people tweeting out his status as a meatball. Hillary Clinton is laughing her saggy ass off at this pathetic campaign and she’s someone who knows what a pathetic campaign looks like.
