I am guessing that because I once saw those shared weird wrestling match videos of him attacking that guy and shaving his head that the trauma of those images then morphs into this imaginary scene.
Or perhaps the weird way that he loomed behind Hillary at the 2016 debates also contributes?
Or is it because I am just so traumatized by the whole disaster of endless strangest possible actions?
Of all the things to worry about, this is not one of them.

(21,990 posts)First of all, Trump is a coward.
Second, VP Biden would kick his flabby ass to the floor.
Lastly, that's a barrier even Trump wouldn't cross. After all, has he ever physically attacked anyone other than women?

(64,827 posts)That wasn't an attack.
It was a TV stunt. Just like a bar fight in a movie! It's not a real fight, right?
Same thing with the WWE thing.

(6,268 posts)I seem to be on a worrying spree.
It is terribly windy, wildfires are all around the area, my 3 sisters and their families had to evacuate from their homes last night in the middle of the night. I had to evacuate from my farm last month and I still have not gotten everything back to normal. And might have to evacuate again.
I guess I am transferring my personal kind of angst onto this debate.

(12,409 posts)Don't worry. If Trump tries it, he'll be sorry. Just more pointless trouble on the way to us prevailing. (BTW, "The Sleeping Gypsy" is my all-time favorite work of art from my all-time favorite artist, Henri Rousseau.)

(27,792 posts)I think Biden probably took notes from Hillary and will needle him and needle him, rather than trying to ignore him and calmly observe the debate rules and just answer the questions as she did.
And, the moderators will (maybe) be prepared for him to try and physically move towards Biden. That should never, never have been permitted in 2016, and it still rankles me, but it happened, and I guess I can just hope everyone is prepared this time around for physical intimidation.
The idea of Biden calmly egging Trump on makes me kind of look forward to the debate, though I normally can't stand to look at or listen to Trump.

frankly, i'm more concerned that Trump will infect everyone in the room with coronavirus

Sorry.
That is my guess as to why I am coming up with such a ridiculous thing to worry about.
Glad to get a good dose of sanity here from my DU friends.

(115,579 posts)He used to beat up smaller children when he was a kid but I think he knows he'd get his ass kicked if he ever went after anyone now. It's no longer his style. He loomed behind Hillary only because he was trying to intimidate her. AFAIK the current debate format doesn't allow for that kind of moving around, and anyhow Biden is at least his height if you don't count the shoe lifts. He'll be his usual loud lying assholish self but he's not going to attack anyone.

I do worry about him trying to shake hands with Biden though. I don't trust what he might have on or in his hands. It only takes a few drops of some that stuff his buddy Putin could send him.
