President Donald Trump is once again mocking his predecessor Joe Biden’s physique.
While hosting Argentine President Javier Milei at a White House meeting Tuesday, Trump, 79, mulled whether he or Biden, 82, is more prepared to show off their body on the beach.
“I’d love to go to Argentina. I’d like to be, like Biden, I’d like to go to the beach,” Trump said after being asked if he would like to visit Milei’s home country. Trump appeared to be referencing Biden’s visits to his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Trump joked that he’s not sure if his body “would be appreciated on the beach” before comparing his body to Biden’s.
“My legs are not quite as thin as his, my legs are slightly heavier, my arms are slightly larger, my body is a little bit larger than his,” Trump argued. “I’m not sure it would be appreciated on the beach, but I’m not gonna take a chance.”
As the president’s remarks drew laughter, he delivered another blow.
“You won’t see me in a bathing suit sitting on a beach in Argentina, falling down, not being able to lift a 3-ounce chair meant for old people to lift,” he continued, seemingly referencing the New York Post’s July report alleging Biden struggled to set up a beach chair while hanging out with his family in Malibu, California, during Fourth of July weekend.
Biden, who is three years older than Trump, is now undergoing radiation treatment for prostate cancer.
“Somebody told him he looked good in a bathing suit,” Trump griped.
Trump has seemed fixated on Biden’s physique for some time. In 2023, he alleged that his body is “much better” than that of the “very, very old” Biden.
“I have a much better body than him. But I’m not really sure that I want to expose it, with the sun blaring down and the sand, the surf, the wind, you know,” Trump said at a rally in Waterloo, Iowa, in October 2023. “I mean, you know, it’s not a pretty sight.”
He then bragged that he could take on Biden in a fight, apparently in response to Biden’s remark in 2018 about how he would take Trump ”behind the gym and beat the hell out of him” if they were in high school.
Biden would “go down,” Trump claimed.
