At the halfway mark of this terrible presidency, one has to wonder how much more the country can take,” the former New York mayor said.

Michael Bloomberg, in a blistering op-ed for his namesake media company, eviscerated President Donald Trump for the federal government shutdown and called the budget standoff a “dumb” way to demand border wall funding.

The former New York mayor’s column, published on Sunday, said the partial shutdown of the U.S. government shows Trump’s administration is unraveling.

Bloomberg wrote that his major concerns include the potential for an economic nosedive triggered by what he described as Trump’s devil-may-care style of leadership.

“With other countries pleading for sanity and institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organization warning of severe consequences if trade sanctions get out of hand, talk of a looming recession is growing,” he said. “Yet the president seems determined to make matters worse — and to hell with the economic consequences.”

Bloomberg pointed to last week’s stock market plunge as another sign that “Trump’s recklessly emotional and senselessly chaotic approach to the job” has a real impact.

“At the halfway mark of this terrible presidency, one has to wonder how much more the country can take,” he added.

The only solution, Bloomberg said, was for the GOP to stand up to Trump.

“Unless something changes — unless, in particular, Republicans in Congress start showing some spine — two more years might be enough to test whether we can sustain Trump’s model of bad government. This past week, we got a glimpse of what the beginning of the collapse may look like — and what it may ultimately cost us.”

Bloomberg, a Democrat, has openly flirted with a 2020 presidential run.

LOL!! Poor Bloomberg, a little rich guy who wants to be important but doesn't know how to be. It's sad really, but funny at the same time.

Trump is fixing our country, every single day he fixes 2 or more things that are wrong and need fixing. Fake News doesn't know how to report it because they've hired stupid people who can barely concentrate off themselves long enough to read a Tweet and half the time they get that wrong, so they've no time or ability to comprehend and report accurately what is really happening. That is what the stock market reacts to, that is what creates that part of the volatility, the other being they are learning about protected trade but don't quite yet understand it well enough to be comfortable, a few more cycles, a few more trade deals finished, and then they'll have learned that when you have the trade deficits, you're King in a Trade War, because you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
