Trump Mocks Bloomberg for Having a Bad Night in New Hampshire, a State Where Bloomberg Is Not on the Ballot

President Donald Trump tried to swipe at Michael Bloomberg over the New Hampshire Democratic primary results, though his jab has drawn mockery because of what it revealed about Trump’s understanding of the primary (or lack thereof).

“A very bad night for Mini Mike!” Trump proclaimed after attacking his Democratic competitors, mocking those who dropped out on Tuesday night, and saying they have “very low political I.Q.” This comes hours after Trump attacked Bloomberg over his resurfaced stop and frisk remarks, just to delete his tweet later.

A lot of Democrat dropouts tonight, very low political I.Q. https://t.co/1fZmJOifLo

A very bad night for Mini Mike!

What Trump may or may not have known though, is that Bloomberg wasn’t even on the ballot for the New Hampshire primary. As such, there were plenty of people on Twitter who were happy to inform him of the error.

Something Bloomberg & I have in common: We weren't on the ballot in N.H. https://t.co/KrsvE6DOx2

Are you really this stupid? You can't have a bad night when you're not on the ballot. https://t.co/iaeqW8b3Nr

Beyond that, people have also started commenting on how Trump has been obsessively attacking Bloomberg lately:

Bloomberg is 30x richer than Trump but he's paying $0 to live in his head. https://t.co/tygjEaGEr4

The president’s obsession with Bloomberg is chronic. https://t.co/YbeX7KAgqN

Forget being presidential, or thinking strategically. Just as straight up punditry this is a terrible take https://t.co/JrOmpratSQ

Trump seems weirdly obsessed with Bloomberg. The ex-mayor isn't even on the ballot in New Hampshire (he's only registered for primaries on Super Tuesday and beyond). https://t.co/FoFPS2tPMT

Wonder how long it will be until Trump starts hitting up a foreign leader for dirt on Bloomberg https://t.co/aRUXc2NFLr
