People close to Mike Bloomberg paint a portrait of an aggressively boring man.

“The thing about Mike is he actually isn’t that interesting — he’s smart, and you can have a good time talking to him, but it’s like talking to any old Jewish relative of mine,” said one ex-employee in a profile in New York magazine. “The first time I met him, he started complaining about some soup he got that didn’t taste right. I just met the guy, and he was, like, complaining about his sweet-and-sour soup.”

A friend of the 78-year-old billionaire said his problems with the stop-and-frisk issue stemmed from an inability to emphasize with other people’s pain, describing him as a bit “Asperger’s-y”

The former New York City mayor, who has so far spent more than half a billion dollars in his long-shot bid for the Democratic nomination, also takes a blunt view of Trump and domestic politics.

“Mike once said to me, ‘The only way the Republicans abandon Donald is if he f–ks a child or wakes up in bed next to a dead person,’ ” one acquaintance told the magazine. Team Bloomberg said he did not remember the comment.

The human side of Bloomberg comes out more after he’s knocked a few back.

“Mike gets loosey-goosey on wine, visibly shining, but if you really try to get him to open up then, sure enough he gets flustered and retreats into his shell,” one reporter recalled.
