Former American president Donald Trump traveled to New Hampshire on Monday to personally register for its upcoming presidential primary.
Afterward, Trump rallied with his supporters. During the stream-of-conscious diatribe, Trump compared himself to former anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandel, blasted current president Joe Biden’s handling of the Hamas attack on Israel, and vowed to build an “Iron Dome-style missile defense shield over the United States,” according to the Associated Press.
Trump took personal aim at Joe Biden, who previously remarked during their 2020 campaign that he’d like to take Trump “behind the woodshed,” insinuating a fist fight would follow.
Trump responded in kind Monday night.

“I dream of that,” Trump said. “You know what I’d do with him?” Trump asked before showcasing his boxing skills. “I’d hit him right in that fake nose—that fake nose. There’d be plastic lying all over the floor.”
His social media supporters loved the line.
“He really is the [greatest of all time,” wrote one.
“My president,” remarked another supporter.
“Gotta be the co-main event for the Mark Zuckerberg–Elon Musk fight,” wrote another Trump supporter.
Trump and Biden are currently the betting favorites to carry their respective parties’ nominations into 2024, setting the stage for a rematch of the bitterly contested 2020 election.
