Trevor Noah made fun of Michael Bloomberg’s campaign spending in a live Super Tuesday segment, when it became clear the billionaire was having a bad night.

The segment aired as it was reported that Bloomberg was considering dropping out of the 2020 presidential race – a prediction that has now come true.

Noah poked fun at Bloomberg’s lavish spending after a series of clips highlighted some of the then-candidate’s most extravagant expenses, such as $500m in ads ahead of Super Tuesday.
