In Bizarre Debate Moment, Off-Track Biden Challenges Trump to Golf Game ‘If You Can Carry Your Own Bag — Think You Can Do It?’
Amid a debate question Thursday night asking President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump what they would say to voters concerned about their ages — Biden is 81 while Trump is 78 — Trump responded by saying that he “aced” two cognitive tests and noted that Biden took no cognitive tests.
Shifting to his physical abilities, Trump said, “We knock on wood wherever we may have wood that I’m in very good health.” He added, “I just won two club [non-senior golf] championships … to do that you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way.” Speaking of Biden, Trump said “he can’t hit a ball 50 yards.”
Biden’s response began with him saying something unintelligible about Trump’s height and weight, after which Biden said he’d “be happy to have a [golf] driving contest” with Trump — and then claimed “I got my [golf] handicap when I was vice president down to a six.”
Trump turned away in mirth, likely because such a handicap is considered excellent.
Then things got comical, as Biden turned to Trump in schoolyard fashion and threw down hard: “And by the way, I told you before I’m happy to play golf with you if you carry your own bag.”
