Three minutes. Three minutes of watching and listening to billionaire businessman and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg pontificate on why he is a much better leader to handle the coronavirus. Three minutes. In prime time.

You think I’m kidding? See for yourself. The ad was posted in advance on YouTube Saturday. All three minutes.
As can be seen in the screen image, Bloomberg is standing in a faux Oval Office type setting trying to convey a presidential image.
The Bloomberg campaign is promoting the campaign ad as an “address to the nation”:
The announcement by Bloomberg campaign spokeswoman Sabrina Singh, “NEWS: Tomorrow @mikebloomberg will deliver a taped 3-min TV address to the nation on the coronavirus, airing during commercial airtime on CBS, NBC at about 8:30 PM ET”
