Trump to Biden: I'd Like to Take You Up on Your Golf Challenge

You of course remember Biden challenging Trump to a golf game not once but twice. He had already challenged Trump before the debate, and then, during the debate, challenged him again. Biden laid a special challenge: Trump would have to carry his own bag.

Will Biden be carrying his own bag? Absurd.

Anyway, Trump has accepted the challenge, and furthermore is giving Biden a twenty stroke lead as a handicap. He declares that if Football Hero Joe beats him, he'll donate $1 million to any charity Biden names.

Trump is softly ending his Silence Offensive. For two weeks, Trump has said nothing, keeping himself out of the headlines, and thus providing no competing stories to the number one story of the century, the dementia of the commander in chief.

I don't think that this shift, to speaking again and getting headlines, is a bad one. In fact, I was going to propose it.

Biden is now in terrible danger of being booted out of the race. Trump wants to keep him in the race. Therefore, it is in Trump's interests to throw Biden a lifeline and take some of the media oxygen for himself.

The famous maxim, "never interfere with your enemy when he is destroying himself" doesn't apply here. We can't let Biden completely destroy himself. We have to maintain the illusion that he's still a viable candidate.

Trump is attacking the idiot narcissist Joe Biden right in his vulnerable spot, his ego. Trump should continue this sort of attack. In fact, I think maybe he should suggest that Joe Biden is a coward at heart and will drop out of the race rather than run and chance a loss. You know, reverse psychology -- make Populist Joe angry and get him to double down on running.

The problem with that last suggestion is that reverse psychology is often pretty obvious and it might not work. If Trump makes it too obvious that he wants to face Biden, that will add to the case Democrats are making against Biden.

They might even point out that Republicans are trying to choose their opponents -- something Democrats have done to Republicans for years and years.

All this said, I don't think we're going to have the privilege of facing down Cannibal Fighter Joe in the election. He's temporarily got Democrats to pipe down, but the polls are getting worse for him. So far, Trump is not seeing a "bump" in polling -- he is so far seeing what looks like a permanent increase in support, and Biden a permanent loss of support.

As that reality sets in, Democrats will again demand that Biden drop out, and they'll start threatening the Biden family that they won't protect them should President Trump start looking into the Biden Crime Family's buckraking operations.

Update: As Trump predicted, Biden has backed down from his own challenge.

You're not allowed to do that, of course. If you challenge someone, you're obligated to follow through if the challenge is accepted.

Biden is a dishonorable, lying coward.
