WASHINGTON President Donald Trump says hed rather run for re-election against former Vice President Joe Biden than his 2016 foe, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
In an exclusive interview with "Meet the Press," Trump praised Clinton as a very tough opponent compared to Biden, the current Democratic front-runner in the 2020 race.
Hillary Clinton was a great candidate. She was very smart. She was very tough. She was ruthless and vicious, Trump said in the interview, which was taped on Friday.
I would actually rather run against Biden.
Sleepy Joe. He's sleepy. She was not sleepy, he added, echoing his nickname for Biden.

(2,331 posts)His strategy is to hold huge hate rallies and belittle his opponent. it won't be different regardless of the candidate.
It isn't like he is going to change policy positions based on the perceived weakness of a rival.

(12,344 posts)He is neither afraid or unafraid of Biden. He simply wants people to be confused and argue about non-issues. His real or imagined fears are irrelevant - ignore them.

(22,236 posts)he wants us to think that he means the opposite. He knows that nobody believes a word out of his mouth, so whenever he says Biden would be easy, he thinks we'll assume he's lying through his teeth. Trump really does know that Biden would be way easier to handle than Hillary was, but he's hoping that we think he's just lying again.
