Trump calls Biden sleepy but not a word about Sanders..

Sanders is older than Biden. I think Trump would prefer to run against Sanders so he can talk about socialism every single day..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

So he thinks he can beat tweet.

But paying attention to what he tweets isn't important. There's no telling really what's in his mind.

"Sleepy" Joe nickname is odd, though, because Joe is known to be energetic. So he's attacking the perception of Joe's being energetic. Coupled with Trump's statements about his own youth & vigor (he even flexed his arm...like he's ever been in a fight in his life...it was pathetic). He's worried about looking older than a man who is older than he is, and being in bad shape, which he is.

So transparent, this fear he’s wearing on his sleeve. And his pitiful attempts to disguise it with sophomoric name calling, when it isn’t frothing at his mouth or gone stuttering hysterical, makes the case that he’s on the defense, obsessively jealous of his more popular rivals.
