President Trump did not let former Vice President Joe Biden's repeated physical threats (no matter how jocose) go unanswered, tweeting Thursday that if he was to meet him in a fight, he'd be the clear victor.
Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!

On Wednesday, Biden told an audience at the University of Miami that if given the chance in high school he'd "beat the hell" out of Trump over the now infamous "Access Hollywood" tape. Biden made the remarks during a rally for his "It's on Us" campaign, intended to inform students how to combat sexualt assault on campus.
"They asked me if I’d like to debate this gentleman, and I said 'no,'" Biden told the students. "I said, 'If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.'"
He made a similar threat while campaigning for Hillary Clinton in 2016, noting that if he was in high school with Trump he would “take him behind the gym.”
Yes, our leading officials are bragging about who has the biggest muscles.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), for one, was fed up.
Total dysfunction. DC is about to add 1.3 TRILLION $ to your debt like it’s no big deal - and meanwhile both of our crazy uncles are fistfighting in the backyard. Happy Thanksgiving, America. https://t.co/qFfqdtJKkE
