KEY POINTS

  • President Donald Trump had choice words against the Democratic presidential candidates after Super Tuesday
  • Trump called Warren 'Pocahontas' and said she was an "all time great spoiler" for Sanders
  • He claims Bloomberg's consultants ripped him off for $700 million
  • Throughout his Twitter rant, he referred to Biden as "sleepy Joe"

President Donald Trump went on a rant storm Thursday where he blasted the Democrats challenging him for the presidency.

Super Tuesday was a made-for-TV, high-rating spectacle brimming with tension, surprises and a shocking ending no one expected -- least of all the man who won the day, former vice president Joe Biden. By winning 10 of 14 states including delegate-rich Texas, which even Biden didn't expect to do well in, the former VP established himself as the front runner in a race that only a week ago featured eight contenders.

Biden's huge win in South Carolina on February 29 led former mayor Pete Buttigieg to call it quits the next day. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota followed suit Monday. Both these former foes Monday evening endorsed Biden at a Texas rally along with former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke.

Needless to say Biden won both Minnesota (he called to thank Klobuchar after his win) and Texas on Super Tuesday. On Wednesday, billionaire Bloomberg called it quits, placing his multi-million dollar campaign machinery at Biden's disposal in the battle against Trump.

The only one left standing in Biden's assured path to the nomination, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-MA, is expected to announce her withdrawal from the race this week. Warren's third place finish in her own home state of Massachusetts should be enough to convince her that her campaign has hit a dead end.

The coalescing of moderate Democrats around Biden that polls consistently show has the best chance of beating Trump didn't sit well with the President. Trump responded to the Super Tuesday results by launching a series of ill-mannered tweets against Biden, Warren, and Bloomberg on Thursday.

He again called Warren "Pocahontas," and said she "didn’t even come close to winning her home state of Massachusetts." He even tried to pin Sen. Bernie Sanders' poor Super Tuesday performance on her in another try at dividing the Dems.

Trump alleges if Warren wasn’t in the race, Sanders would have easily won Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas and other states. He said Warren "may very well go down as the all time great spoiler!"

Trump then went after Bloomberg in another attempt to sow division among the Democrats. He alleged Bloomberg's “political” consultants "took him for a $700 million ride that “washed down the drain, and he got nothing for it but the nickname Mini Mike."

Trump then turned his attention to another former candidate, billionaire Tom Steyer who dropped out of the race last week. He said "Bloomberg, along with his wacky friend, Tom Steyer, have found out the hard way that you can’t buy the election!"

As for Bloomberg placing his campaign organization with its more than 2,000 staffers and a massive data network to support it, Trump said Bloomberg "will pour money into Sleepy Joe’s campaign, hoping to save face."

Trump made it clear that nothing the Democrats are doing can stop him from winning in November.He clearly stated, "it will not work!"
