President of the United States and expert own-hole-digger Donald Trump has a lot on his plate today.
Specifically, he’s going to go ahead and ratchet up the simmering global trade war he started earlier this month by announcing tariffs on more than 100 types of Chinese goods totaling $50 billion in retaliation for IP theft.
You’d think, given the gravity of that decision, that if he were going to spend the morning on Twitter, he’d endeavor to maybe explain that a little further or else just provide some color on why it makes sense and how he’s going to work with Beijing to find an amicable solution that protects important American interests while simultaneously recognizing how critical trade with China is.
But this is Trump we’re talking about, so instead, he told us how an imaginary fist fight with Joe Biden would probably go. To wit:
This comes after Biden suggested that if this were high school, and Trump was “grabbin’ em by the pussy,” Joe would have “taken him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.”
Here’s the clip:
As you can see, the comment came at an anti-sexual assault rally at the University of Miami.
Today’s @itsonus rally reminded us that we are responsible for creating an environment where sexual assault and gender-based violence is unacceptable. Thank you @joebiden for bringing us your legacy of ending violence against women and empowering our students to take action. pic.twitter.com/h43M4gqqpt

Biden also said this about Trump’s contention that he grabs women by the genitals:
I’ve been in a lot of locker rooms my whole life. I’m a pretty damn good athlete. Any guy that talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room.
Yes, “the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room.” To wit:
Nothing further.

Both are chumps. This is the state of US vice executive and chief executive leadership?
Anyway, I think Duterte would whip ’em both, two on one. Duterte swears more convincingly too.
Battle of the “strongmen”? My money’s on Merkel.
Well Canada’s trudeau was a semi-pro boxer. But he’s afraid to mess his pretty hair.
OTOH, obviously Merkel doesn’t give a shit what her hair looks like. So yeah, she’d win.
Erdogan is back in the running after the DOJ had assault charges dropped against his guards before meeting Tillerson. MbS and MbZ were both angry at Turkey’s special treatment. So they had Kushner fire Tillerson.
I’m a card-carrying boomer. I am never again, ever, gonna vote for someone that graduated from high school the same year I did. As my parents generation was the ‘greatest’ mine is the ‘awfullest’. It’s youth for me going forward; my two mil daughters are more capable humans than either of these imbeciles.
My money’s on Putin. That guy can kill you with a thought. KGB-Jedi style.
