Biden and Trump get into an extended back-and-forth over their physical health and golf skills at the CNN debate.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump got into an extended back-and-forth over their physical health and golf skills at the CNN presidential debate Thursday night.

“You can see he is 6’5” and only 223 pounds,” Biden said, poking fun at Trump self-listing himself at a seemingly fabricated heights and weights. “6'4, 200 —”

“Anyway, just take a look at what he says he is and take a look at what he is,” the president added, when his predecessor began disputing his jabs.

“Look, I’d be happy to have a driving contest with him. I got my handicap, which when I was vice president, down to a six,” Biden continued, addressing Trump’s previous comments in the debate bragging about his golf abilities compared to Biden’s. “And, by the way, I told you before I’m happy to play golf if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it?”

“That’s the biggest lie that he’s a six handicap,” Trump jumped in. “Let’s not act like children, Joe. Let’s not act like children.”

“You are a child,” Biden replied.
