$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

That was a dig against President Donald Trump, alleging that his chaotic and possible justice-obstructing governing is threatening our norms and standards of democracy guaranteed to us by our U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n

Trump shot back Friday by saying, \u201cWelcome to the race Sleepy Joe. I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign. It will be nasty . . . I will see you at the Starting Gate.\u201d<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>It wasn\u2019t the first time Trump has called Biden \u201cSleepy Joe\u201d and accused him of low intelligence. Trump ought to be no one to talk about the latter. He talks like an adolescent picking a fight in the schoolyard. He constantly calls people names that he dreams up as if it proves his communication prowess and wit: Lying Ted (Cruz), Crooked Hilary (Clinton), Crazy Bernie (Sanders), and Pocahontas for Elizabeth Warren. Trash talk on the sports field is one thing; but a trash-talking U.S. president is pitiful! The man has no decency. And kindness? It\u2019s a foreign word to him. Never heard of it.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s vocabulary is atrocious. How many times has he used the word \u201cgreat\u201d since he\u2019s been president? And how many times has he attributed to himself this superlative or the like? He sounds like Muhammed Ali, saying, \u201cI am the greatest.\u201d But that was mostly as an act. After all, professional sports is<\/em> entertainment, especially boxing. But governing the sole superpower nation in the world is no joke.<\/p>\n

Trump has said, \u201cNobody respects women more than I do;\u201d \u201cnobody loves the Bible more than I do.\u201d Vice News has a video of quotes by Donald Trump in which he says 24 different times that nobody does some thing (24 of them) better than he does. Such talk just reveals Trump\u2019s classic narcissism, which is a serious psychological illness.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s constant bolstering of himself in public speech heard round the world is nauseating to most people. It\u2019s the same with his constant practice of characterizing people he doesn\u2019t like as being \u201ca disgrace.\u201d On the contrary, it is The Donald who is a disgrace. His speech and unlawful actions as U.S. president sullies the office.<\/p>\n

Seventy-two year old Donald Trump also responded to seventy-six year old Joe Biden\u2019s announcement to run for the presidency by claiming to be \u201ca young, vibrant man. I\u2019m so young I can\u2019t believe it.\u201d Well, believe it Donald because you act like you\u2019re really<\/em> young, that is, an adolescent.<\/p>\n

In my game, which is golf, when you boast about your game, other golfers of like skill might say, \u201cLet\u2019s tee it up.\u201d That\u2019s the same as saying, \u201cLet\u2019s get it on.\u201d That is, it\u2019s a challenge. Trump, being a good golfer, knows all about this.<\/p>\n

If obese Donald Trump and trim and shapely Joe Biden ran a 100 yard dash against each other, I\u2019d put my money on Joe. At the finish line, it\u2019s The Donald who would look Sleepy and Exhausted. And I suspect if they ran a mile, Trump might seriously expose himself to a heart attack.<\/p>\n

McDonalds best customer has always derided exercise. The book Trump Revealed<\/em> says, \u201cAfter college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Heh Donald, look at all the pro golf I played, and with no golf cart, and I\u2019ve exercised regularly in the gym all of my adult life. Such exercise builds muscle, endurance, and energy, not wastes energy. Your claim to uncanny intuition proves miserable on this one. Besides, how are you such an expert about exercise since you never do it?<\/p>\n

Back in the early days of our republic, when a politician spoke derogatorily about his political opponent, they could get more serious about \u201cteeing it up\u201d than swinging clubs at a ball. There might be a challenge to a pistol duel. The most famous of such duels was in 1804 between Vice President Aaron Burr and Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton. The two had exchanged words in letters made public. Hamilton was a strong Christian opposed to dueling. Yet he challenged Burr to a duel, and Burr accepted. Burr shot Hamilton, who died the next day.<\/p>\n

During the twilight of the presidential campaign in 2016, the Access Hollywood tape was shown on TV. In it, Trump made disgusting sexual assault remarks against women. Joe Biden objected publicly to it by saying, \u201cThe press always asks me, \u2018Don\u2019t I wish I were debating him?\u2019 No, I wish we were in high school and I could take him behind the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, I don\u2019t expect there will be any fistfights between Biden and Trump from now until the November election in 2020. But if both men win their party\u2019s nomination, as expected, their fight for the presidency will surely be a big bruiser with words.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
