WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump has been uncharacteristically quiet on Michael Bloomberg, declining to publicly attack the media mogul and philanthropist since the Democrat launched his White House bid last month.
The president has not mentioned Bloomberg at rallies, where he regularly derides Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg with zeal.
Trump's campaign says it is unfazed by the billionaire, who has spent $100 million of his own money on advertising and voter registration efforts for a relatively late entry in the race for the Democratic nomination. That amount does not include other campaign spending such as on staff, travel and offices since Bloomberg entered the race in November after saying earlier in the year that he would not compete in 2020.
