He was joking, presumably…
During a recent interview with TIME, President Biden tried to assuage attacks about his old age by telling the interviewer that he could beat them in a fight.
At one point, Biden was asked if he could still do the job “as an 85-year old man” who would be considered “too old to lead” by many Americans if he wins a second term.
“I can do it better than anybody you know. You’re looking at me, I can take you too,” Biden told TIME, including Washington Bureau Chief Massimo Calabresi and Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs.
“Watch me. Look, name me a president that’s gotten as much done as I’ve gotten done in my first three and a half years. When all of you wrote in TIME magazine I couldn’t get any of it done. When you told me there’s no pay, no way, no way he can get a trillion-plus dollar bill done in terms of, to deal with infrastructure, where there’s no way he gets $368 billion for dealing with the environment, where there’s no way I could get the legislation passed on,” Biden said.
“I remember when I was heading to Taiwan, excuse me, to South Korea, to reclaim the chips industry that we had gotten $865 billion in private-sector investment, private-sector investments since I’ve been in,” he continued. “Name me a president who’s done that.”
