Speaking to a reporter in New Hampshire, Avenatti, who is considering a run for president as a Democrat, said he thinks he would be “incredibly effective” in a debate against Trump.

“He’s a bully and I think he doesn’t like people that punch back, and I think I would be incredibly effective against him,” Avenatti said. “I don’t think he’s very quick on his feet, I don’t think he’s that intelligent and I think he’d be completely outclassed.”
