Trump mocked Pete Buttigieg by comparing him to the MAD Magazine mascot: 'Alfred E. Neuman cannot become president of the United States.' More from our interview with the president today:
Trump, who made his remarks in an interview that stemmed from POLITICO’s inquiries for a separate story, has taken a few shots at Buttigieg as he’s risen in the polls, including at his recent rally in Florida.
“He's got a great chance, doesn’t he?” Trump continued sarcastically, going on to suggest that Buttigieg might not be tough enough to square off against America’s adversaries. “He’ll be great representing us against President Xi of China. That’ll be great. I want to be in that room, I wanna watch that one."
