Mike Bloomberg cosplays as president in coronavirus ad

..

Billionaire Mike Bloomberg's presidential entrada purchased primetime ad space Sunday night -- reportedly worth at least $1 million -- so the hard-hearted New York Flagstone ambassador could cosplay as the president of the U.S. He addressed the nation, vaguely, effectually the threat of coronavirus.

Bloomberg's ad ran effectually 8:30PM ET on CBS as able-bodied as NBC, during "God Friended Me," a CBS existing effectually an defiling who gets a homegrown request from God. The ad space could receive disbursement the Bloomberg entrada anywhere from $1.25 to 3 million, The New York Times revealed Saturday.

In this three-minute ad, Bloomberg stands in a room -- or in front of a jellybean awning of a room? -- that looks remarkably similar to the White House's Oviform Office. He wears a pin in the slickness of an American headline while he addresses the American realizable effectually the coronavirus.

"I palpate this has been a actual awkward week for many Americans," Bloomberg says at the top of the ad.. "The coronavirus is spreading, as able-bodied as the exiguity is demography a hit. Markets receive studio because of the fact that of uncertainty. At times like this, it's the job of the president to reassure the realizable that he or she is demography all of the all-important steps to reassure the healthfulness as able-bodied as zillions of every citizen."

Bloomberg hasn't won a single primary contest. He's spent millions on television as able-bodied as social media ads to increase his name sanctioning enclosed voters anticipative of the important Super Tuesday primaries. That money hasn't won him the president just yet, morally it sure has let him play dress-up so he can pretend like he's once won.
