President Trump slammed former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren for their poor performances on Super Tuesday.
With former Vice President Joe Biden running away with many of Tuesday’s contests, Trump first mocked Bloomberg for devoting hundreds of millions of dollars toward his campaign war chest only to get routed in the 14 states that voted.
“The biggest loser tonight, by far, is Mini Mike Bloomberg. His ‘political’ consultants took him for a ride. $700 million washed down the drain, and he got nothing for it but the nickname Mini Mike, and the complete destruction of his reputation. Way to go Mike!” the president tweeted.

Bloomberg spent more than $500 million on advertising as he skipped the early voting states to focus on Super Tuesday. The former mayor spent millions more on ads in post-Super Tuesday states, but due to his poor performance Tuesday, he is reportedly considering an exit from the race.
Trump also commented on Warren’s disappointing performance on Super Tuesday, including losing her home state of Massachusetts, dredging up the “Pocahontas” nickname.
“Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren, other than Mini Mike, was the loser of the night. She didn’t even come close to winning her home state of Massachusetts. Well, now she can just sit back with her husband and have a nice cold beer!” he wrote.

The “nice cold beer” remark is a reference to Warren’s Instagram live feed in 2018 following the announcement of her presidential exploratory committee. Warren grabbed a beer bottle from her refrigerator, spoke with followers, and told her husband, “Thank you for being here. I’m glad you’re here.”
At the time, Trump called the awkward moment a “beer catastrophe” for Warren, adding, “It’s their house, he’s supposed to be there!”
