Add #LittleMichael to the long list of Trump enemies.

Trump belittled Michael Bloomberg as an ineffective candidate and vowed to defeat him in a potential 2020 presidential matchup — if the ex-mayor gets that far.

“Little Michael will fail,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn. “And if he did (win the Democratic nomination), I’d be happy. There is nobody I’d rather run against than Little Michael, that I can tell you. ”

Pompeo Faces Fire Over Ambassador Targeted By Trump

November 5, 2019 5:07 pm
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had achieved the seemingly impossible in Donald Trump’s Washington — pleasing the mercurial president while casting himself as a defender of his institution.
But that wiliness has reached its limits. Pompeo is now facing fire over accusations he ducked from standing up for the US ambassador to Ukraine, whose sacking is a key part of the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry into Trump.

The unusually open criticism by seasoned diplomats comes amid growing expectations that Pompeo will soon exit to run for Senate in his home state of Kansas — where his frequent travel has

Bolton has been asked to testify on 7 November but it is unclear how he will respond to the invitation. His former deputy Charles Kupperman has asked a court to decide whether he should respond to a congressional subpoena to testify or obey a White House order not to appear.

Democrats are readying articles of impeachment, the catalyst being Trump’s July phone call to his Ukrainian counterpart in which he urged the European ally to investigate his political rivals.

No sitting Republican lawmaker has publicly expressed their …
