Bloomberg tells TODAYshow he’d ‘have to swallow two or three times’ but would vote to convict President Trump.
"When we did it, it got out of control. When I noticed it, we did a little test of seeing what happens if you stopped it. Everyone said crime would go up. It didn't, so I said lets get rid of it," he said in the interview.
The New York billionaire, who built his fortune through the financial information company he founded, only entered the race for the party’s nomination in November — a choice he made after looking at the other Democratic nominees. Spelling out why he feels Trump is so dangerous, Bloomberg said that his impetuous style was hazardous for the country.
“JFK was a millionaire, George Washington was a millionaire, Roosevelt was a millionaire. We have a history of wealthy people in — and I think those three are pretty good presidents, so you can't say it gives you bad presidents, at least not in those cases,” he added.
