webfact Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Bloomberg could sell his company if he runs for President: Business Insider FILE PHOTO - Businessman and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks at the opening of the Bloomberg Global Business Forum in New York, U.S., September 26, 2018. REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton (Reuters) - Billionaire Michael Bloomberg said he was likely to sell his financial data and news company Bloomberg LP if he runs for president, Business Insider reported, citing an interview he gave to a local radio station. Bloomberg said he would either sell the company, or put it in a blind trust, but that at his age, 76, it makes more sense to sell it, according to the report. "I think at my age, if selling it is possible, I would do that," Bloomberg reportedly said in the interview with Radio Iowa. Bloomberg LP declined to comment.

Emster23 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Given the norm changes due to President Trumps refusal to sell his holdings or release income taxes, why does Bloomberg think he needs to sell. Doesn't he read the news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Bloomberg would sell so no one would think he’s in it for the money also Bloomberg has a much much better track record than Donald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunFred Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Electing a Jewish man as President is arguably more radical than electing a black or a female. America needs to demonstrate that antisemitism is dead and buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
