The Twitter back-and-forth began Wednesday morning when Trump tweeted at the former mayor, mocking him for dropping out of the Democratic primary.

"Mini Mike Bloomberg just 'quit' the race for president. I could have told him long ago that he didn't have what it takes, and he would have saved himself a billion dollars, the real cost," Trump tweeted after Bloomberg announced he would suspend his campaign and endorse former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenThe Memo: Warning signs flash for Trump on debates Senate Republicans signal openness to working with Biden National postal mail handlers union endorses Biden MORE.

"Now he will pour money into Sleepy Joe's campaign, hoping to save face. It won't work!" Trump added.

Bloomberg responded with a clip of the duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader from "A New Hope," in which the former utters the famous line, "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Bloomberg responded almost immediately Thursday to Trump's video clip with an ad for Biden — paid for by Bloomberg's former campaign — that used multiple pop culture references to knock the president, followed by the hashtags #DUMPTRUMP and #GOJOE.
