Former President Donald Trump recently challenged President Joe Biden to another presidential debate and a $1 million charity golf match during a campaign rally at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami, Florida. Trump proposed a “no holds barred” debate with no moderators and offered to donate $1 million to a charity of Biden’s choice if Biden accepted the golf challenge, boasting that the event would be “bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters”
“I’m officially challenging Joe to an 18-hole golf match,” Trump said. “It will be among the most watched sporting events in history. Maybe even bigger than the Ryder Cup or the Masters. I will even give Joe Biden 10 strokes, that means 20 strokes for those who don’t play golf. If he wins, I’ll give the charity of his choice, $1 million.’
“I bet you he won’t take the offer,” Trump added. “Because he’s all talk.”
