Bloomberg apparently thinks farmers and blue collar workers are dumb too

“I could teach anyone how to farm. Dig a hole, plant a seed, cover it with dirt, throw some water on it, and corn comes up”

Big tent indeed.

Bloomberg has never set foot on a farm in his life. Bold strategy, considering he needs the flyover votes to have a shot in hell

Then you get that really wet corn to make sandwiches with...don't forget to cut the crusts off. Mini Mike promotes a nanny state law against sandwich crusts!

He thinks everyone is stupid.

He was the mayor of one of the most sophisticated cities in the world and wanted to tell them how big their soda could be.

Yep, just like Ole Joe "anyone can mine coal, mining coal's easy"

Basically, a simpleton goes into a coal cave, punches shovel into the coal, drops the shovelful into wheelbarrow.

1. Clear from context that he was talking about farming before the Industrial Revolution, so not entirely inaccurate. (He says, “ and then we had 300 years of industrial ...”).

2. Really stupid to say, anyway, in this age of trolls and out-of-context clips. Yes, OP, I am looking at you.

I have 0 desire to ever give Bloomberg the benefit of the doubt, but are we sure that’s real? The lips don’t sync up to the audio, and it doesn’t particularly sound like Bloomberg. At least not how he speaks now. He has a little bit of a slur to words now that is completely missing from the video.

Maybe it’s an old speech before his voice changed and the audio is just on a bad loop. But this one has me skeptical.

Does he think this is 1940 ? I don’t think this is how professional farmers do it now. Very few Americans could afford the land and tractors to have a farming business.
