JOE BIDEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Trump threatened former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Thursday [3-22-18], saying in a tweet that Mr. Biden “would go down fast and hard” if the two men ever physically fought. Mr. Trump was responding to Mr. Biden’s comments on Tuesday [3-20-18] about how, if he was in high school, Mr. Biden would ‘beat the hell’ out of Mr. Trump for disrespecting women…The back-and-forth blustering between two men in their 70s comes a day after Mr. Trump criticized two of his predecessors, Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, for not being able to improve relations with Russia. And Mr. Trump is facing revived sexual misconduct accusations after a New York state judge ruled that a defamation lawsuit from a woman who has said Mr. Trump made unwanted sexual advances could go forward.”
