Political strategy in the Trump era is apparently two grandfathers threatening to fight each other.

On Tuesday, Joe Biden got heated during a rally to fight campus sexual assault and went off on President Trump's misogynistic history. According to ABC News, Biden said, "If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him" .

"I've been in a lot of locker rooms my whole life," Biden bragged, "I'm a pretty damn good athlete. Any guy that talked that way was usually the fattest, ugliest S.O.B. in the room."

Biden was born in 1942. The last time he was in high school, Eisenhower was president. This is the second time Biden's openly fantasized about going back to high school to beat up Trump.

Trump responded in the most Trump way -- he referred to the former Vice President as "Crazy Joe Biden" and tweeted that Biden was "weak, both mentally and physically" despite "trying to act like a tough guy."

He also implied that he could take Biden in a fight: "He doesn't know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way."

Yes, this is real. Welcome to 2018 in America, everyone.

The whole duel got Twitter users wondering: what would a Biden/Trump duel look like?

Most people noted that the two septuagenarians wouldn't have much of a fight because of their age -- Trump is 71 and Biden is 76. Watching two old white men beat each other up would probably look a lot like this:

And their pre-fight back and forth would probably sound something like this:

Other Twitter users made fun of immature this whole thing is. Who sounds more likely to bicker over social media, two teenagers or a well established career politician and the leader of the free world?
