Donald Trump talks tough. He promises to crack down on Muslims, to build a wall on our border with Mexicans, and to stand up to foreign countries. He has joked about getting with murder -- literally -- if he shot someone on New York's Fifth Avenue. He exhorts his crowds to physically assault people. Most recently, he has threatened to hit people "so hard their heads would spin" at the Democratic National Convention, including Michael Bloomberg.
Perhaps it's time to threaten him. A lawsuit might be a good start. But even better would be challenging him to show his manliness by putting his fists where his mouth is.
He'd never do it. It doesn't look this puffy orange man has ever had to fend for himself. He affects the manner of being a tough New Yorker, but he had a privileged childhood, dodged the draft, and has always had his lawyers do his fighting for him. He's afraid to release his tax returns -- and his academic records -- and seems to have done most of his investing with other people's money.
He's not a young man, and a strenuous fight might kill him. But if he's as tough as he says, it's time to show it. Come on, Donald, show you're a man. Put up your dukes. Or go sniveling back to your mansion, you pathetic blowhard.
