“Clearly Bloomberg’s comments in those clips do reflect what Bloomberg was doing as mayor, for the simple reason that it’s what he did as mayor. You don’t have to be a genius to figure this out: as much as Bloomberg is trying to reposition himself now that he needs the support of black voters, he encouraged his police department to treat black people like they were all criminals. Bloomberg has tried to dodge and shrug off the bad press, but reporters won’t let this story go – they keep hassling him at events, questioning him about his motives, just trying to find any little thing that he’s done wrong. It must be so frustrating for him, and to that I say: Mike Bloomberg, welcome to the world of stop-and-frisk.” —Trevor Noah

“In response, Bloomberg tweeted at Trump and said, ‘Behind your back people are laughing at you.’ Trump called it fake news and spent the next hour trying to look behind his own back.” —Jimmy Fallon
“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
