I wrote earlier how Mike Bloomberg is just a horrible campaigner, perhaps the worst ever, although he certainly has tough competition with Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
Bloomberg has only been on the campaign trail a short time and already he’s racking up all kinds of examples to show how socially inept he seems in presenting himself.
He went out of his way on Monday to put out an ad basically pitching himself as the answer to fighting the coronavirus. Notice the effort to make the background even look like the Oval Office.
The coronavirus is spreading. Concern is growing. The economy has taken a hit.
Tonight, I’m addressing the nation because Donald Trump has yet again failed to lead.
I’ve led in crises before. As president, I’ll trust the science and let the experts do their jobs. pic.twitter.com/NHzT3fY3UK

Nice ad, right?
That’s the ad. Here’s the reality.

Not only does he touch the pizza all over and put it back in the box for people to eat, he licks his fingers and then wipes it on the coffee box. Ewwwww.
He licks all of his fingers & then touches the coffee.

He… he licked every single one of his fingers and then… and then immediately touched something WHEN THE ONLY CONSISTENT MESSAGE IN THE NEWS IS TO WASH YOUR HANDS.https://t.co/w8LF5SCrA3

Mini Mike Bloomberg thinks he can lead a #coronavirus task force and he can’t even keep his fingers out of his mouth and off his volunteer’s lunch! pic.twitter.com/Bxp3JCjAgw

Even Donald Trump, Jr had a few things to say.
Truly disgusting! Also shows that #Bloomberg has never been around other people in a communal work space.
The fact that he and his “influencers” put this out thinking it normalizes him is even scarier.
Mike, send me $1,000,000,000 as a retainer and I’ll teach you social media! pic.twitter.com/vDiAWbKLNC

Perhaps Bloomberg needs a lesson from this guy?
With coronavirus spreading, there are a few things we can all do to stay safe:
-Wash your hands frequently
-If you have a cough, stay home & rest
-Avoid touching eyes, nose & mouth
-Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughingFor more information, visit https://t.co/dUvqPH9vTi.
