'The President of the United States is currently planning a potential reelection campaign centered on the theme that his opponent is too short.'

Photo: Joe Raedle/Getty Images President Trump has been signaling a plan to attack Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren as radical socialists and Joe Biden as corrupt. Now that Michael Bloomberg has appeared on the president’s radar, Trump’s emerging plan has come into view: He plans to discredit Bloomberg on the basis of height.
And for good reason: Even a child understands there is no relationship between height and the ability to serve as president. Unlike his allegations that Biden helped enrich his son, or that Warren advanced her career by identifying as a Native American, both of which are false, the Bloomberg insult lacks even the most threadbare element of substance. He is literally making his opponent’s immutable physical trait his central argument.
Trump “has made clear he will paint former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. as corrupt if he faces him in the fall and will assail other possible Democratic challengers as socialists,” the New York Times reported recently. Having apparently ruled out both socialism and corruption as lines of attack against a potential Bloomberg candidacy, he has settled on a lack of height.
