Michael Bloomberg is trying to make nanny-state authoritarianism cool with the kids again. Yes, he wants to ban soda and vapes, disdains the free press, and supported randomly searching black people for decades — but hey, his social media team posts relatable content!
Just kidding. It’s actually all pretty cringey anyway. Bloomberg didn’t qualify for Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate, so his team decided to troll for attention on Twitter with fingernails-on-chalkboard-level content.

In a Bloomberg Adminstration, there will be no tweeting from the Oval Office. Just an aggressive number of TikToks. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate

Wow! So hip and cool. Gen Z and millennial voters will surely fall into Bloomberg’s camp now.
WHAT IS THE BEST PART OF THE BODY TO GET A BLOOMBERG 2020 TATTOO?

Uh, this one’s just creepy.
Mike has a deep respect for facts and science, except for the ridiculous “round Earth” conspiracy theory. #BloombergFacts #DemDebate

I’m collapsing with laughter. Not.
Test your political knowledge:

OK, the meatball one is actually funny.
In all seriousness, Bloomberg clearly handed off the keys to his team’s Twitter account to his 11-year-old nieces for the night or something. Or maybe he spent some of the millions he has poured into his campaign on some hip social media strategists or something. But it didn’t work. Bloomberg is still a cringey Boomer with the politics and demeanor of a dictatorial grandpa.
