Trump Chaffs Beto's 'Hand Movement': 'Is He Crazy Or Is That Just The Way He Acts?'

By Nicole Lafond
March 14, 2019 11:37 am

President Trump’s main worry when it comes to the firebrand, young liberal who just tossed his hat in the 2020 ring?

He gesticulates too much.

Trump also refused to say whether he thought O’Rourke or former Vice President Joe Biden was a more concerning candidate.

“Whoever it is, I’ll take him or her on,” he said.

Trump is reportedly most intimidated by a possible Biden presidential bid, even though the former vice president hasn’t yet announced his decision. Trump’s allies are reportedly concerned about O’Rourke, who fought an unsuccessful Senate race against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) but shocked the masses with his record campaign fundraising.

“I have nothing to say to that,” O’Rourke said as he laughed off Trump’s grade school attack and said the country is ready to move beyond this president’s “smallness.”

O’Rourke added, “I think people want us to rise above the pettiness, the smallness — they want us to be big, bold, ambitious for this country. That’s what I’m focused on and that’s what I see here today in Burlington.”

The Democratic candidate’s non-response response to Trump’s pettiness came after the president took a shot at the Democratic candidate earlier in the day.
