    I am a fit 50-something lady and no I don’t think I could beat up the fascist in chief because fat guys have mass on their side. I can think of ways (like the personal protection fighting that gets taught to women) to do enough to run away, but don’t underestimate fat guys. They carry all that weight around all the time.

      Yeah I don’t think I could win a fist fight in the sense of Queensbury boxing match, but a regular fight-fight where I can kick his legs out from under him? People that age and weight tend not to handle falls well

        The way the question is framed makes me think it’s a no-holds-barred hand-to-hand fight. You’d drop him fast.

      I hear you, and my answer is the same strategy that is currently defeating Trump in Iran:

      Rope a Dope.

      Conserve your energy, maintain your stamina, conceal your strength, keep him moving.

      Only take a chance at a strike you know will hit, then flutter away.

      Couple rounds of that, he’s having a heart attack, you win.

      He notoriously has horrendous posture.

      That means his core will tire out rapidly if you keep him him on his toes.
