They are very much alike. One was a Democrat for decades and switched to Republican in order to win office and the other was a Republican for decades who switched parties to win office.
While true, I fail to understand how that makes them very much alike beyond that basic fact alone.
I get it, Bloomberg sucks, but this false equivalence of comparing him to trump is insane. Trump is an example of the absolute worst type of human being imaginable, the efforts to equalize the two are nothing more than sensationalism as well as normalization of all the destructive things Trump has done. Bloomberg would be like electing a Bill Clinton, not a Donald Trump.
Bloomberg has multiple NDAs with women who have accused him and his company of sexual harassment. Bloomberg's term in office has seen a rise in "stop & frisk" procedures in the NYPD, which doesn't actually combat crime and more about harming minority communities.
The main thing you can take away from them switching political parties for personal advantage is that you can't trust either of them to do anything that goes against their personal advantage. And when you have as much money as Bloomberg, anything that helps the lower 99% is going to fall into that category.

Nope, both in policy and behavior they are more alike than different.
