Vice President Joe Biden has spent the last few days in a public debate with himself over to attack Donald Trump or ignore Trump, and has now implied more than once that he’d like to take Trump out behind the school gym and beat him up.
It started Friday, when Biden grew outraged in Pennsylvania about the lewd comments Trump was heard saying about women in a 2005 video tape.
“He said, ‘Because I’m famous, because I’m a star, because I’m a billionaire, I can do things other people can’t,'” Biden said. “What a disgusting assertion for anyone to make!”
“The press always asks me, don’t I wish I were debating him?” he added. “No, I wish we were in high school. I could take him behind the gym!”
After a weekend to think it over, Biden returned on Monday to say he was done talking about Trump.
“We all know the nightmare of a Trump presidency,” Biden said. “I’ve given up on talking about Trump.”
But it didn’t last. Just hours later, Biden was already talking again about beating up Trump behind some school gym.
“I’m not going to say anymore,” Biden declared after trashing Trump some more. “I’ll get myself in trouble and say something like I’d like to take him behind the gym when I was in high school.”
And on Tuesday, Biden found himself once more talking about Trump, and promising once again not to talk about Trump anymore.
“This is a man who doesn’t know where Crimea is, that it was forcibly annexed by Russia from the Ukraine,” Biden said. After ripping Trump for tweeting late into the night, Biden wound down again by promising, “I’m finished with Donald Trump.”
But Biden couldn’t resist, and not only talked about Trump, but once again revisited his school gym fantasy by saying it’s something he’d do to any jock in the locker room who talked like Trump talks.
“The point I was making is he’s trying to dumb down, he’s insulting … the people who play ball,” Biden said. He said if any athlete talked like Trump did, “I would take the guy behind the gym.”
