President Trump fantasizes on Twitter about beating up Joe Biden and making him cry
President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden have been at each other's throats for the past year and a half, both claiming they could beat the other in a physical fight if they just got the chance. Biden, 75, escalated the threats Tuesday when he said he would have "beat the hell" out of Trump "if we were in high school."
Never one to forfeit the last word, Trump, 71, delivered the counterpunch on Twitter on Thursday:
Biden had initially ignited the adolescent feud in 2016 when he said he wished he could have taken Trump "behind the gym" back in the day, Business Insider reports. Trump responded in the subsequent weeks that he would "love" to fight Biden at "the back of the barn" and that the vice president would "fall over" with "just a little bit of a puff."
Earlier this month, Trump said he would "kick [Biden's] ass" if they were permitted to go at each other.
