2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden wants to challenge President Donald Trump to a battle of fitness.
In an MSNBC interview that aired on Tuesday morning, Biden told “Morning Joe” host Mika Brzezinski how he’d deal with Trump if the President made fun of his age or whipped out the “Sleepy Joe” nickname on the debate stage.
“I would say come on Donald. Come on, man,” Biden said, motioning toward himself. “How many push-ups do you want to do here, pal?”
“Jokingly,” he added.
However, the former vice president said that he doesn’t plan to “get down in the dirt” with Trump because that’s “the only place he knows how to fight.”
“I’m just gonna continue to talk about what he’s doing. Why it’s so damaging to America,” Biden said. “And as my mother would say, I’m not gonna take any guff from him.”

Instead, at the debate, ask him first off if he has gained any weight lately. Bring a copy of his White House physical report that has his weight listed. Bring a simple bathroom scale. Challenge him to stand on it. Prove him a liar right off the bat. If he can lie about something as trivial as his weight…
So Biden just has to do one push-up?
It would be more amusing if Biden weren’t quite so serious. He’s got too much “old man fake testosterone” thing going on. His previous comments about “fist-fighting” aren’t aging well, and neither will he if he doesn’t adapt better.
Biden plays the man card. This should be decisive, right?
That’s right…selectively focus on silly nonsense banter to make it seem like all he’s saying.
