Earlier this week, former Vice President Joe Biden had some strong words for Donald Trump. in regards to his treatment and previous remarks about women. In response, the president decided to hit back, though his reaction didn't go over too well with critics.
Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!

Trump on Biden
It's no secret that Donald Trump promotes himself as a tough guy, often speaking out against his critics in controversial fashion.
Trump's remarks about women have also received backlash from his opposition, with many accusing him of being a sexist in the process. Commenting on his treatment of women was Joe Biden, who gave his thoughts about Trump earlier this week to a crowd in Miami, Florida. "If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him," Biden said. Not stopping there, the former vice president continued to insult the commander in chief, comparing Trump to the "fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room."

In a tweet on March 22, Donald Trump responded to Joe Biden with a warning and threat of his own.
"Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy," Trump tweeted. "Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault," he added.
In addition, Donald Trump gave a prediction about what would happen if the two men ever got into a fight. "He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way," Trump said, before adding, "Don’t threaten people Joe!" This isn't the first time that Biden has spoke strongly about the president as speculation continues to increase about whether or not the former vice president will make a run for the White House in 2020 and potentially challenge Trump.
Instant backlash
Following Donald Trump's remarks, critics of the president didn't take too long to hit back. "How hard could you hit someone with those child like hands you have?" one tweet wondered.
I'm a news junkie, so I don't miss much, even in this crazy environment! :-) But your point is well taken. Glad you are trying to get some of these stories out there.

"OH MY GOD!
HOW INCREDIBLY STUPID CAN YOU BE????" a Twitter user wrote. "Oh, please, please PLEASE, fight him. I would pay good money to watch you drop like a rock," yet another tweet added. "You are the weakest though, you win again," another tweet noted.
Hey, why don't you act like the president instead of some prepubescent middle schooler? You embarrass yourself and our country.

This is simply not POTUS material in Conduct, Thought and Action. Do we really expect leadership from the USA? School boys are cleverer than this @CNNInternatDesk @SkyNews @BBCWorld @FoxNews
