Trump has made similar remarks about Biden, who has consistently led the crowded Democratic field, before.
“I’d rather run against, I think, Biden than anybody,” Trump told reporters while leaving the White House for Iowa earlier this month. “I think he’s the weakest mentally and I like running against people that are weak mentally … The other ones have much more energy.”
Trump’s reelection campaign has reportedly cut ties with a polling firm whose internal polling indicated Biden leads Trump in several key states after the data leaked to the press.

Trump also said on “Meet the Press” that he is not prepared to lose his reelection bid.
“It would be much better, it would be much better if I said, ‘Yeah.’ It would be much easier for me to say, ‘Oh yes.’ No I’m probably not too prepared to lose. I don’t like losing. I haven’t lost very much in my life,” he said..
“You didn’t like the fact that you lost the popular vote. That bothered you, didn’t it?” Todd noted.

“Well, I think it was a — I mean, I’ll say something that, again, is controversial. There were a lot of votes cast that I don’t believe,” the president replied.
