Donald Trump is going to be pulling his comb-over out over this one, folks. The Hill points out that 37 percent of the respondents to a Tuesday survey believe that Joe Biden could take out No. 45 in a fist fight. Meanwhile, 32 percent think that Trump could beat the former Vice President. A remaining 30 percent had no opinion.
It’s probably worth noting that the survey was conducted by Public Policy Polling, an organization that tends to lean towards the left. That doesn’t make it any less hilarious, though. The poll comes as a response to the beef that started back in 2016 when Biden said he would have taken Trump “behind the gym and beat the hell out of him” back in high school, a belief he reiterated last Thursday.
Trump fired back on Twitter, saying, “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!”
Ever the gentleman, Biden took a step back from his combative stance. On an episode of Pod Save America, the ex-VP said, “I shouldn't have said what I said...because I don't want to get down in the mosh pit with this guy.”
