About

Mike Bloomberg's Anti-Trump Billboards are a series of campaign billboards for billionaire Mike Bloomberg's 2020 presidential candidacy that attacked United States President Donald Trump. The billboards were widely mocked online with some editing the images to criticize Bloomberg.

Origin

On February 21st, 2020, Bloomberg's verified campaign Twitter ^[1] account posted three images of billboards, which were posted in Phoenix, Arizona that week. The billboards read "Donald Trump eats burnt steak / Mike Bloomberg likes his medium rare," "Donald Trump's wall fell over" and "Donald Trump chats at golf / Mike Bloomberg doesn't." They captioned the initial tweet, "Trump had a rally in Phoenix this week. We made sure there was a nice gift waiting for him!" The post was the subject of a ratio, receiving more than 6,600 comments, 3,500 likes and 750 retweets in less than 24 hours (shown below).
