President Joe Biden responded with a number of challenges for Donald Trump after the former president and Republican Party rival issued his own contest to another debate and a round of golf that he claims would be worth $1 million.
During a rally in Dorval, Fla., on Tuesday night, Trump challenged Biden to an 18-round of golf that he claims would be “most watched sporting events in history.”
“I‘m also officially challenging Crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here,” Trump told his followers. “On Doral’s Blue Monster considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in the world.”
It didn’t take long for the President to respond. In a statement, rather than take Trump up on his golf offer, Biden issued a series of challenges himself.
“We’d challenge Donald Trump to create jobs, but he lost three million,” he said in the statement. “We’d challenge Donald Trump to stand up to Putin, but he bent the knee to him.
“We’d challenge Donald Trump to follow the law, but he breaks it. We’d challenge Donald Trump to not destroy our country, but that’s all his Project 2025 aims to do.”
Concluding the statement, Biden said he “doesn’t have time for Donald Trump’s weird antics” as “he’s busy leading America and defending the free world.”
Meanwhile, former president Barack Obama was apparently aware of and didn’t object to actor George Clooney’s call for Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
According to Politico, Clooney had called Obama to warn him he was going to call out Biden in an opinion piece published in the New York Times. Sources told the publication Obama didn’t push Clooney to make his remarks, nor did he try to stop him.
In the op-ed, Clooney said Biden cannot win the presidential race after his poor performance during the first presidential debate against Trump hosted by CNN.
“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big F***ing deal’ Biden of 2010,” wrote Clooney, who had co-hosted a Biden fundraiser in Los Angeles that netted $30 million.
“He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,” said Clooney.
