It is demeaning for the president of the United States to challenge a journalist interviewing him to a physical fight. But President Joe Biden‘s schoolyard taunt wasn’t even the lowest point in his recent sit-down with Time magazine.

The interviewer asked if he was too old, and Biden responded, “You’re looking at me, I can take you, too.” The president then also confused Russia for China, accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of prolonging the war in Gaza — when, in truth, Israel has been prevented from moving faster by Biden himself — falsely claimed wages have outpaced inflation during his term in office, and said his only regret on immigration was not opening the border sooner.
