An interview with Joe Biden for Time Magazine took a very weird turn after the president appeared to threaten a reporter.
When asked about his ability to do the job as president, Biden snapped, “I can do it better than anybody you know. You’re looking at me, I can take you, too!”
Biden unleashed that response to the question, “The last two years of presidents, two-term presidents’ tenure are usually focused on foreign affairs. You are 81 years old, and would be 86 by the time you left office. Large majorities of Americans, including in the Democratic Party, tell pollsters they think you are too old to lead. Could you really do this job as an 85-year-old man?” Red State reported.
Biden’s deteriorating mental capabilities continue to be confirmed purely by his going off-script with reporters. Now, he’s even challenging reporters to a fight.
As the report noted, Biden hadn’t actually been at the top of anyone’s game during the interview as he ranted about how good his economy has performed.
“Wage increases have exceeded what the cost of inflation,” he charged.
“You have everything from shrinkflation to what’s going on in terms of the way in which they’re artificially moving significantly to increase, their, their, their, their profits.”
Despite Biden’s claims, American consumers are paying nearly 20% more now to live since he took office.
Biden also got a couple of key world leaders mixed up during the interview.

Then came the “challenge.”
“Joe Biden is a feeble 81-year-old man who finds walking up the stairs difficult, but he decided to snap at a reporter by challenging him to a fight. What a scene. ‘I can take you,’ the president of the freaking United States says. Do you feel the norms being restored?”
However, one commenter took a much different political view of Biden’s apparent threat.
He explained:
I’m sure you’ve heard the news… Our Commander in Chief is throwing down fitness challenges in the Oval Office! At 81, Biden’s not just pacing through legislation, he’s ready to race reporters! In a recent and lively interview with TIME, President Joe Biden, at the spry age of 81, didn’t just discuss policies. Nope, he took a playful jab at the journalists, claiming he could outpace them any day of the week! … And it didn’t stop there, folks. With a grin, he declared, ‘I can take you too,’ making it crystal clear that he believes he can do the job ‘better than anybody’. … Now, whether he’s talking about running the country or actually running on a track, that’s up for debate. But one thing’s for sure, his confidence is as fit as a fiddle!”
