Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg fired back to President Donald Trump’s constant taunts about his height, saying that height is “measured from the neck up,” Fox News informed.
At the CPAC event in Oxon Hill, Md., Trump made fun of Bloomberg’s height by crouching at the reading stand so his forehead was barely visible.
“We’ve got Mini Mike, but I think he’s out of it,” Trump said in the clip, played by Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum during their Northern Virginia town hall.
“I would like to spend $700 million and end up with nothing. That was probably the worst debate performance in the history of presidential elections,” Trump continued, referring to the ex-mayor’s participation in the Nevada and South Carolina Democratic debates. “He’s going ‘Oh, get me off of this stage, get me off. Get me off of this stage!'”
Bloomberg did not make any comments while watching the footage but just said that physical height is not all that matters when it comes to posture.
“Donald talks about height — where I come from we measure height from the neck up,” he said, receiving applause for the comment.
“He has his shtick and he is welcome to it. And I have mine. And that’s what it’s going to be,” the 78-year-old New Yorker continued.
Bloomberg later stated that if elected, he would also stop another one of Trump’s traditions.
A Bloomberg administration would be visibly lacking in West Wing tweets.
In a self-deprecating way, Bloomberg joked that another reason he would restrict his own Twitter access is that he “can’t spell.”
“But on the other hand, neither can Donald,” he added.
