Trump says he has 'much better body' than Biden
Reportedly, former president Donald Trump asserted that he possesses a "much better body" than President Joe Biden, going so far as to suggest he could prevail in a physical altercation.
Trump ridiculed Biden for his age, describing him as "very, very old," and even mocked his ability to handle lightweight beach chairs designed for children.
Trump said at a rally in Waterloo, Iowa, on October 7, "He's got a consultant somewhere — this is the worst consultant in politics — that thinks he looks good in a bathing suit, right? He spends so much time at the beach. I mean, how do you do that?"
"And, you know, I have a much better body than him. But I'm not really sure that I want to expose it, with the sun blaring down and the sand, the surf, the wind you know. I mean, you know, it's not a pretty sight."
