Trump: Biden has been ‘absolutely fine’ as VP

Donald Trump offered some praise for Vice President Biden in an interview for the Showtime series documenting the 2016 election. 

{mosads}“He’s been just fine,” the GOP presidential nominee said in an excerpt of an interview with Bloomberg Politics’ Mark Halperin for this Sunday’s episode of “The Circus.”

“I think he’s been fine because he gets along with the president.”

“He seems to have a very good relationship, so I think Biden has been absolutely fine and his relationship with President Obama has been good and that’s a big factor.” 

Last week, during a rally on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Biden said he’d like to take Trump “behind the gym” over the GOP nominee’s lewd and sexually aggressive comments about women.

Trump appeared to embrace that offer earlier this week.

“Did you see where Biden wants to take me to the back of the barn?” Trump asked supporters at a rally in Tallahassee, Fla., on Tuesday.

“I’d love that. I’d love that,” he continued. “Mr. Tough Guy. He’s Mr. Tough Guy. You know, he’s Mr. Tough Guy, when he’s standing behind the microphone by himself.”

In the interview with Showtime, Trump said if he ever made a comment like Biden’s, he would get much more negative media coverage.

“He made some comment, he’d like to take me behind the gym. I would be the wrong guy for him to take behind the gym, believe me, that would be easy. … If I ever made that comment, they’d say, ‘Oh, he’s a bully, he’s a bully,'” the GOP nominee said.

“He makes the comment, everyone thinks it’s so cute. If I made it, they’d say ‘Oh, what a terrible thing.’ “
