Trump's Swimsuit Banter

Donald Trump (former U.S. president) entertained a bizarre swimsuit-contest hypothetical with Joe Biden (President) during a discussion about visiting Argentina.
He said, "You won’t see me in a bathing suit on a beach in Argentina," noting his larger physique relative to Biden.
