McLEAN, Virginia – Michael Bloomberg

The former mayor of New York City has made his most anti -Trump since he had called the then-candidate, Donald Trump, a "dangerous demagogue" and had knocked out his business. a speech at the National Democratic Convention of 2016.

19659012] "I then said that it was just not up to the mark," Bloomberg said Friday morning in a speech delivered before the Council of Northern Democrat Enterprises of Virginia. "He had neither the skills nor the temperament nor the work ethic to be president of the United States."

Although they are both billionaires in New York, Bloomberg said that he knew Trump in their previous lives only in an "informal" manner during interactions during ceremonies. He attacked the former real estate mogul for what he called "a total failure of the presidential leadership" and "a totally incompetent leadership," while some federal agencies remain closed in the middle of the longest government closure in the history of the United States.

"You got exactly what I described," he said, "He is a person who should not be the president of the United States and I think we need to be serious

Bloomberg dismissed the chief executive of America as being a "real estate developer who has never run a large organization before" and who "lost a lot of money" after inheriting his his father's fortune

And as he kept wondering when he was going to ask for the appointment of the Democratic President in the presidency, Bloomberg was touting his competence s for the job.

"We have to do something to make sure we have someone different in the White House in two years, and I'm determined to do it," he said. "It's a question of competence – or lack of competence. The presidency is not an entry-level job, and the more we have a so-called CEO who rudiments this country, the worse our economy and our security will suffer. It's really dangerous.

He compared Trump and his administration to a horror film: "But instead of Freddy Krueger in" Nightmare on Elm Street, "we have Donald Trump and the nightmare of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

He also advised voters to reject Trump in the next election, in words that he understands: You are fired. He asked participants in the room who would hire Trump to run their business and noted that in the private sector, companies have boards of directors who try to help leaders before taking any action. more severe measures.

"If you can not help them, you take them out, you shoot them," he said. And that's what we have to do. And for two years, a number of honorable people tried to help the president, but left feeling frustrated.

According to Bloomberg, the antidote to Trump and Washington stalemate is a pragmatic and experienced executive who can radius. He recognized his own qualifications, which resulted largely from his 12 years at the mayor's office, a leadership role involving foreign policy and international affairs as the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the city with the largest number of embassies in the country.

"We need to make sure we have real alternatives for 2020 – candidates who are able to do the job, who have training, who have experience of service delivery rather than content with gatherings and speeches, people who know how to manage themselves, "he said. "These jobs – whether president, governor or mayor – are executive jobs. … and we have to make sure we have the candidates doing that.

He joked about why he had visited the first states – traveling to Iowa because of climate change and New Hampshire because there was a house – but acknowledged that he is thinking of trying his luck at the White House.

"It would be great to be president of the United States, but you have to compare that to what you can do in the private sector," he said. "You have to look at the possibilities of being elected. You have to look at your family and your private life and your business that is disrupted and transformed. And I have a good life. That said, I do not like giving up on challenges. "
