U.S. President Donald Trump fired off a new round of Twitter insults aimed at political rival Michael Bloomberg on Thursday, shortly after the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign debuted a new television ad attacking the Republican seeking re-election. Trump mocked Bloomberg’s height, called the entirety of the Democratic field of candidates “clowns” and dismissed the idea that the former New York City mayor would help the ultimate Democratic nominee in the general election. Bloomberg might be getting under Trump’s skin with attack ads, part of a campaign focused on the president with an estimated cost so far above $200 million.
