I know that won't happen, but this absolutely needs to happen.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump put on a seriously good show at his rally in Doral, Florida (kudos to Miami!) on Tuesday night. And now, Trump says he wants to provide even more entertainment, so he's officially challenged Joe Biden to an 18-hole charity golf match following his epic exchange with him at the CNN debate in June.
It was so great that the first Powell Golf commercial was born. *LOL*

Just minutes into the rally, Trump denounced Biden's on-course challenges, and the former president laid out some guidelines for his own challenge: He would give Biden 10 strokes on each side and, if he won, he would put $1 million of his own money into a prize pool to be donated to a charity of Biden's choice.
“I officially challenge Bad Joe to an 18-hole golf game,” Trump said. (Related: It's clear that U.S. golf is receiving great guidance from Keegan Bradley, and thank God for that)
“It's going to be one of the most-watched sporting events of all time. It may be bigger than the Ryder Cup or the Masters. And I'm going to give Joe Biden 10 strokes apiece. Ten strokes. That's a lot. For those of you who don't play golf, that's 20 strokes. I'm going to give him 10 strokes apiece. And if he wins, I'll donate $1 million to a charity of his choice. I'm sure he's not going to take me up on that offer.”

And Biden responded… well… exactly as you would expect.

My goodness, Trump is going to crush Biden in November…what a PR disaster for “the President.”
