Trump to Media: You Don't Like My Behavior...? Well, My Behavior Is In Reaction to Yours.
Plus: Trump Dubs Bloomberg "Little Michael"

I rate this as 75% true.

The other 25% is Trump just being arrogant and rich.

Reporter: "Leon Cooperman said this week that, if you can't change your behavior, you probably shouldn't run again in 2020. What do you say to that?"

Pres. Trump: "Now, you really shaped my behavior because, from the day I came in here, I've had problems with phony stuff - like a phony dossier that turned out to be false, like false investigations that I've beaten. So, a lot of my behavior was shaped by the fake news and by the other side. That was a lot of my behavior."

If you're wondering who Leon Cooperman is -- he's a billionaire Wall Streeter Democrat who has been using his wealth to "battle Elizabeth Warren," who now says he'll be supporting fellow billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

Unpopular (but is it really?) thought: If these rich New York City billionaires and hedge funders are telling us, by supporting Democrats and socialism, that they have no need of their billions and wouldn't mind the state stripping them of their wealth, who are we to argue?

If they think their money is best confiscated by the government, why should I, or anyone in the GOP, stand in their way?

These guys always push socialists -- and yes, Biden's a socialist too -- but then rely upon Republicans to protect them from the punitive tax rates their fellow socialists would impose on them.

(Of course, they also rely on corporation and bank funded shills, like Chuck Schumer, to talk a good game about "income inequality" while working with Republicans to make sure no such legislation passes.)

So they get all the virtue points of supporting socialism, but none of the actual costs.

Maybe it's time the GOP started letting the costs fall upon those who are trying to impose this misery on the rest of us. Maybe it's time to make sure that these Democrat billionaire donors know that they will in fact begin reaping what they are sowing, and we shall not stand in the way of the pitchforks and torches.

Hell, we might even lend a hand.

Thanks to Christopher Taylor.

More about billionaire nanny-state authoritarian Michael Bloomberg below.

Trump calls Bloomberg "little Michael," and says "little Michael will fail," because "He doesn't have the magic to do well."

He adds that little Michael "has some really big issues, he's got some personal problems, and he's got a lot of other issues."

"There is nobody I would rather run against than little Michael."

Meanwhile, little Michael can't stop admitting how very weak the Democrat Party's field is.
