What we don’t need for 2020’s end is to see two septuagenarian men in a slap fight, and according to CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale, our very presidential dude, Donald Trump, has been fantasizing about beating up Joe Biden. This falls in line with the president’s niece’s book, revealing her uncle to be a bully in school, and apparently, Donald Trump has never grown up. And sure, the two have talked about duking it out before, but Trump is the president of the United States, and this country is suffering through multiple crises — so maybe he should focus on that.
Trump is flailing behind Biden in the polls. Instead of reaching out to independents and undecided voters, he’s obsessing over Biden’s physical strength — and the president seems focused on the former vice-president’s legs.
This is peak 2020 stuff:
The president has now started assessing Biden’s body while fantasizing about beating him up. He says, “Those legs. Those legs have gotten very thin. Not a lot of base. You wouldn’t have to close – you wouldn’t have to close the fist.”

Well, this is on-brand for Trump. Trump fights for Trump while Biden wants to fight for all of us amid the raging pandemic. Over two hundred and thirty-one thousand Americans have died from COVID-19 under Trump’s watch, and you can see where his priorities are. On Sunday, Trump tweeted in support of his fans that are being investigated by the FBI after they formed a “Trump train” and surrounded a Biden campaign bus in Texas, causing two vehicles to collide. Violence against his opponents is acceptable to this president, and somehow, part of our society is OK with that, too.
Over the course of a few seconds Trump has promised to fire Dr. Fauci, accuses Biden of having cosmetic surgery, said he wanted to physically fight his opponent, and continued to support the intimidation of the Biden campaign by his supporters.

But, according to Trump, it’s Biden’s mental acuity that we should be concerned with.
Psychopathy, Narcissism, Machiavellian, and Sadism (The Dark Tetrad). Not only is Trump openly inciting violence against a Presidential candidate (and truly fantasizing about violence), he’s *recalling* specific past violent episodes. Let this sink in. https://t.co/BsRRaR1RH8

America married its abusive boyfriend, and on November 3rd, we can all get a divorce. Unless Americans want a continuation of what’s taken place in 2020, that is. If Trump is reelected, then 2020 might be a trailer for 2021.
