Bloomberg says Democrats should “get behind” President

Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and owner of several media outlets, thinks it’s time that Americans “get behind” President Donald Trump and “make it work.”Democratic opponents of Trump need to get over themselves, Bloomberg argued during an interview on ABC’s “The View.” “The public has spoken, whether you like the results or not,” he said.

The media magnate compared liberal resistance to Trump with comments made by Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the Republican leader in the Senate, when he said, “the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

According to Bloomberg, such thinking is petty and risks breaking the American political system by making it dysfunctional. “That’s my country. That’s my kids and grandkids,” Bloomberg said in response to the McConnell remark. “You have to make it work. We have an election — whoever wins, you got to get behind.”
