Move over, Joe Biden: Creepy Porn Lawyer Michael Avenatti wants to try to get some licks in on President Trump, too.
During an appearance at Politicon, the attention-craving camera chaser sparred with citizen journalists.
To one wearing a red Trump 2020 hat, he said, “Let me tell ya something, if I run against your president, I’m gonna kick his ass!”

He’s just the latest high-profile Democrat to threaten physical violence.
Earlier this year, former Vice President — and rumored 2020 presidential candidate — Joe Biden said he wanted to beat up Trump.
“If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,” Biden said about Trump’s comments about women.
To be clear, it’s Biden who thinks only he should be able to put his hands on women and girls uninvited.
Meanwhile, Avenatti says he’s got the support of the top brass of the DNC for a 2020 run.
During an appearance on MSNBC earlier this month, the creepy porn lawyer talked big about his aspirations.
“I’ve been traveling around the country raising money for Democrats,” Avenatti told Kasie Hunt, “and I’ve received an incredible response, every state that I’ve gone to. I think I’ve surprised a lot of people.
“I’ve received a lot of encouragement in various states to run,” he said.
“I’ve received a lot of encouragement from the Democratic National Committee, and senior leadership within the Committee, frankly, to run and people want a fighter,” he continued.
He declined to name the “senior” leaders pushing him to run.
Maybe DNC Vice Chair Keith Ellison, who is being accused of domestic assault by a former girlfriend?
“People want somebody who can actually beat Donald Trump,” Avenatti insisted, apparently implying that’s him.
“I don’t care how much experience you have. I don’t care how deep you are on policy. If you can’t beat Donald Trump, you don’t have any business running for the presidency of the United States in 2020, because if you can’t beat Donald Trump, you go home,” he said.
