The Republican contender lowered the tone of electoral politics in 2016 – now the Democratic president has left the high road to take him on at his own game
With Biden in the political ring throwing verbal punches back at Trump, he has hewn closer to the “Dark Brandon” meme that is popular among some of his supporters. That concept, which frequently sees Biden depicted with red laser eyes, imagines Biden as a sort of edgy hero or even antihero – the kind of person who wouldn’t think twice about sarcastically congratulating an opponent on a golf tournament win.

“If you can’t take it don’t dish it out.”
I know I am preaching to the choir here, but Trump has campaigned like a petulant child ever since he first announced his candidacy in 2016 and taken cheap shots at friends and foes alike.
If he doesn’t want people to make fun of him, then he can behave like an adult. But he won’t, so he shouldn’t be upset that Biden is taking cheap shots at him now too.
Trump also makes this really, really easy; he actually gave himself his own award and boasted about it on social media.

He’s also so thin-skinned that I feel like this should be an effective strategy.
