This morning Trump came out swinging against Mike Bloomberg with a couple of tweets:
Texas & Oklahoma: Mini Mike Bloomberg will kill your drilling, fracking and pipelines. Petroleum based “anything” is dead. Energy jobs gone. Don’t vote for Mini Mike!

Mini Mike Bloomberg can never recover from his incompetent debate performances. Also, as mayor he was very bad under pressure – a chocker!

A chocker? That’s a british slang word meaning being ‘fed up’. I think Trump meant ‘choker’.
UPDATE: Trump fixed his tweet:
Mini Mike Bloomberg can never recover from his incompetent debate performances. Also, as mayor he was very bad under pressure – a choker!

What’s interesting to me about this is that Trump, the other day, said that he thought Bernie would give him the most trouble because he had a very enthusiastic fan base, like himself. But he hasn’t tweeted about Bernie this morning, telling voters not to vote for him. He has tweeted twice about Bloomberg though, which tells me he may actually consider Bloomberg a more difficult opponent in the general election.
I should note that last night Trump did take a moment to mock Biden over his history of gaffes, but that was just in response to a video highlighting his gaffes:
WOW! Sleepy Joe doesn’t know where he is, or what he’s doing. Honestly, I don’t think he even knows what office he's running for! pic.twitter.com/454v9GFpgF
