Biden says if Trump mocks his age or mental state he'd challenge him to a push-up contest [View all]
WASHINGTON – When asked what he would do if President Donald Trump challenged him based on his age or mental fitness in a debate, former Vice President Joe Biden said he would challenge the president to a push-up contest.
Biden made the comment during an interview with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski that aired Monday on "Morning Joe." Brzezinski asked Biden about Democratic voters who wondered how he would handle someone like Trump, "who doesn't play fair," after he seemed unprepared for criticism from Sen. Kamala Harris in the Democratic debate in Miami.
"I realize that some have concluded that because I didn't respond very tough back to her, that how can I take on Trump? I've never had any trouble taking on anyone from Trump to Putin to Xi Jinping or anybody else," he said.
"I'm used to bullies," Biden added. He cited a line from former President Harry Truman, which he said his "grandpop" used to quote. When asked if he was going to "give 'em hell," Truman said, "No, I'm just going to tell them the truth. They're going to think it's hell."
