Trump’s macho posturing is a sad joke

First, the trumpet. Donald J. Trump: @realDonald­Trump — “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!”

6:19 AM — Mar 22, 2018 President Donald Trump’s alter ego Donald Trump appeared Thursday. Again. Trump touted and tweeted pugilistic prowess with an assertion that he could beat 75-year-old “Smokin’” Joe Biden.

The Prez remains singed by Biden’s comments about the “Access Hollywood” tape that caught Trump and show host Billy Bush offering dirty talk.

So, Tuesday this week, Biden brought up the lewd comments Trump made on the show almost a decade ago.

“A guy who ended up becoming our national leader said, ‘I can grab a woman anywhere and she likes it,’” Biden said.

“They asked me if I’d 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.”’

Biden, like so many other people who got the better of Trump from former President Barack Obama to some schoolgirl who beat him in the 100-yard dash, remain stuck in the Commander-inChief’s throat.

The Trump schtick connects with the mental frame work of many devout followers. President Trump knows his base will get ‘em outta here’ when Trump delivers his prelude to violence “Get ‘em outta here,” when an agitator interrupts a stump speech.

bouts against 84-year-old Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.), 84, (“I’ll knock out her into next Tuesday),” Trump said. “and any “old fart” challenger.

“Ernest Hollings? (96) Bob Dole? (94) I”ll put a hurting on all those dudes. In fact, put Hollings and Dole on the same day.”

“They don’t want to fight. Nobody wants to fight. I talked about Misfit Romney and his wife. Nothing. Everybody called Chris Christie a tough guy. I told him to get on the plane. And what did he do?”

What about a fight with Daniel Akaka?

“Ain’t he Hawaiian? About, 93 years old?”

“Yessir.”

“As long as Akaka has a legal birth certificat­e. We’re good. I’m not fighting another Hawaiian birther. You know Obama has a fake birth certificat­e. Heard he’s got a pretty good left jab, too.”
