Douglas Endorses Bloomberg For President
Michael Douglas has offered his official endorsement of Michael Bloomberg for U.S. President, calling the former New York City mayor “one of the greatest candidates in the history of our elections.”
Both men have strong connections to Bermuda, Mr Douglas’ mother is Bermudian and both he and Mr Bloomberg have both spent considerable time on the island.
A story on People.com said, “Michael Douglas wants to see former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg in the White House.
“On Tuesday morning the Academy Award-winning actor officially endorsed Bloomberg in the 2020 election, telling People that he “hasn’t been this excited” about a presidential candidate since John F. Kennedy.
“I feel so blessed that in this particularly difficult time that we have one of the greatest candidates in the history of our elections,” says Douglas, 75.
“In his view, Bloomberg offers “a rare opportunity to coalesce and bring us back together, get rid of all this horrid, negative scare tactics that are going on, and the fact that he’s succeeded to the degree that he has is phenomenal.”
“Bloomberg, 77, is the billionaire head of his eponymous media and financial company. He previously spent three terms as the mayor of N.Y.C., from 2002 to 2013.
“Douglas says criticism or concern about Bloomberg’s spending — what others in the race have contended is essentially an effort to buy himself voters in lieu of persuading them through campaigning — is “a little unfair.”
“The fact that he doesn’t need people to pay for his campaign means that he doesn’t owe anybody,” Douglas says. “Do I hope eventually that money in political campaigns will become a thing of the past? Certainly. I think Mike would be one of the first ones to say that.”

I’m with you MD ….
It’s great to see a #Bermuda resident endorse another Bermuda resident. @MikeBloomberg #2020 #beatTrump
TRUMP going to beat him. Americans love the Trump. Only person who has a chance is Biden because he got Obama’s voters.
Bernie to old and Warren is LOL.
“It takes a real billionaire to take out the trash”
Billionaires don’t take out the trash they pay minions to do it.
so what is your point? would you say the same if the billionaire in question was JayZ?
I said billionaires which includes all of them, got it?
“ I’m a New Yorker and I know a “con” when I see one” – Mike Bloomberg
Stop and frisk
Not in favour of Bloomberg. Stop and frisk, That was aimed at Black Men. Period! He is just as racist as Trump de Frump!!
It would be like dashing out of a frying pan and dashing into de fire!!
Biden is the best bet!!
He rides off of Obama’s coat tails!!
Truly tired of racist and divisive Trump. Horrid for Blacks!! Horrid for Blacks around this world.
Obama likes gays, white people and foreigners…how do you reconcile that with your hatred for these three groups?
….but they don’t like him anymore thus the very reason Trump won and will win again.
Re read for comprehension.
Bermudians love Obama, but hate gays, foreigners…and the minority population.
The majority of the Bermudian electorate align with trumps republicans.
The hypocrisy is palpable.
Oh of course. You’re perfectly entitled to be a criminal.
Michael Douglas and Michael Bloomberg – two outstanding supporters of Bermuda. Thank you both for your contributions to our Island. I certainly endorse Michael Bloomberg as President of the USA.
You really don’t know truth about Bloomberg, because if you did you would retract that statement. SMH!
like you know him?! puhleeze
Any evidence to back up your claims?
Wow – Michael Douglas endorsing Michael Bloomberg for President of the USA. That should seal the deal…
I’m not a fan of ‘celebrities’ endorsing politicians or raging against them. i’m sure this was reported here because M D is a Bermudian and MB is a resident. that’s all.
Michael Bloomberg is no racists.
If you do your homework you will come to the same conclusion.
There is no better candidate qualified to beat Trump. Period.
TRUMP 2020!!
