President Trump responded to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's acceptance speech with a surprisingly subdued and succinct tweet.
It's possible that Trump ran out of steam after going off on former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who spoke before Biden. Trump said that Bloomberg, a former Democratic presidential candidate, gave "the worst debate performance in the history of politics," is "commonly known as Mini Mike," and was treated "like a dog" by Democrats. Perhaps after a few Diet Cokes Trump will be back with a "Sleepy Joe" or two.
