Bloomberg's Embarrassing Attempt at Relating to Voters

New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg is spending millions in an effort to trick people into thinking he's relatable. The media mogul goes by "Mike" out on the campaign trail, and Mike is working hard to convince everyday Americans just like you that his problems are no different than the rest.
At a campaign event in North Carolina on Friday, the billionaire revealed one such problem the candidate has previously struggled with, and it is one that surely everyone in the audience could relate to somehow. It was the problem Bloomberg had with a housekeeper purposefully throwing rounds of Scrabble in order to let Bloomberg's mother win the game. Bloomberg recalled the conversation he had with his mother about the incident.
"Every day I'd say, 'what did you do.' And she'd say 'well, I played Scrabble today.' And I said, 'who'd you play with.' 'The housekeeper.' 'And did you win.' 'Yes, of course.' And I said, 'mother, the housekeeper works for us. They're throwing the game to you.' 'That's an outrage,' and she finished by saying, 'if you learn to play Scrabble you'd learn how to spell.' I said, 'mother, at my age I'm never going to learn how to spell.'"
Maybe Bloomberg is trying to relate to ordinary people by claiming that he doesn't know how to spell. That would seem consistent with the contempt Bloomberg clearly has for everyday Americans. The elitist candidate probably thinks, "Americans are stupid, so I'll relate to them by pretending to be stupid too." And what better way to relate to everyday Americans than by telling a story that involves one of his housekeepers?
