President Trump thinks he’s a “very good messenger” on former Vice President Joe Biden’s controversial behavior — despite his own allegations of sexual harassment and assault — and said he doesn’t see Biden as a “threat.”

“He’s only a threat to himself,” Trump said, joking that people “got a kick” out of the doctored video the President posted of an animated Biden massaging the real Biden’s shoulders, commenting on recent allegations that Biden has invaded women’s personal spaces in the past.

No, I don’t see Joe Biden as a threat. I don’t see him as a threat. I think he’s only a threat to himself,” he said. “I just don’t see him as a threat. He’s been there a long time. His record is not good. He would have to run on the Obama failed record.”

  3. Very large, big brain broadcasts to the world at 150dB: “I THINK JOE BIDEN IS A HUGE THREAT TO ME!!!1”

    This doesn’t really affect my voting preferences or anything, but it’s an interesting data point.

  4. "No, I don’t see Joe Biden as a threat. I don’t see him as a threat. "

    Meaning, Joe is a threat.
