"He does not seem to understand that he is an elected official whose job it is to work for the public rather than for himself," the former New York City mayor said. 

Bloomberg formally entered the crowded Democratic primary field last month with the intention of focusing on the Super Tuesday states instead of Iowa and New Hampshire. 

Trump has attacked Bloomberg since his late entry into the race, dubbing him "mini Mike Bloomberg" after his campaign said it would not credential Bloomberg News reporters at future Trump campaign events.
