Bloomberg is a Wall Street oligarch/plutocrat. Of course he wants to see Trump and the GOP "get things done," or at least isn't threatened by them, because the getting of things done will make him much richer. The $800 billion or so in cuts to Medicaid to fund tax cuts on Bloomberg and his buddies doesn't threaten them in any way - Bloomberg and his buddies have gold plated insurance, access to the best healthcare the world can offer, at any time. He probably has a private doctor on standby that he pays a significant sum annually for immediate access.
And his advice makes no sense really. Since when is the proper public response to policies they oppose to sit on their asses and say nothing, don't petition their government to change course, etc.? Should the working poor who will see access to healthcare greatly affected by the GOP plans just say, "Whatever, my cancer doesn't need treating anyway, or it's OK if I have to spend half my annual income on premiums and deductibles because pre-existing conditions are no longer protected. I'm focusing on 2020!!!"
You have been following Bloomberg and his opinions on politics and Trump?
That you would be unhappy with his this opinion makes sense, as you want to throw mud till 2020 the lost time and harm to the country be damned.
