Biden? Beat up Trump? Excuse me, but only in his wildest dreams would that happen!Former Vice President Joe Biden has bragged on two occasions that he would like to beat up President Trump.
In March 2018, Biden huffed: "They asked me would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, ‘If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.â€
Biden’s tough-guy braggadocio was apparently no slip. A year later, he doubled down on his physical threats.
"The idea that I’d be intimidated by Donald Trump? ... He’s the bully that I’ve always stood up to. He’s the bully that used to make fun when I was a kid that I stutter, and I’d smack him in the mouth.â€
Had former Vice President Dick Cheney ever dared to say something similar of President Obama, what would the media reaction have been?
Excuse me again, but the president doesn't appear to be out-of-shape to me. I've watched him on his televised rallies, and it takes a lot of stamina to do what he does. I have the feeling he'd mop the floor with Booker!Sen. Corey Booker, D-N.J., another presidential candidate, took up where Biden left off.
"Trump is a guy who you understand he hurts you, and my testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching him, which would be bad for this elderly, out-of-shape man that he is if I did that. This physically weak specimen," Booker said.
One trait of the Democratic field of presidential candidates is always to sound further to the left than any of their primary rivals. Apparently, a similar habit is to see who can most effectively imagine beating up the president. For now, Booker seems to be in first place.
The current candidates are just channeling three years of sick showboating by Hollywood celebrities.

This is especially dangerous in the aftermath of progressive zealot and Bernie Sanders supporter James Hodgkinson’s 2017 attempt to assassinate Republican congressmen at a practice for a charity baseball game. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., was shot and nearly killed. Three other people were also shot and wounded.

Nonetheless, the current climate is becoming scary. Those who brag of wanting to violently attack the president should worry about where their boasts will finally lead if any of the thousands of James Hodgkinsons in America take such threats seriously and act upon them.
