“Take the gloves off” is an expression borrowed from the game of boxing. As we see, today’s boxers all wear thick chubby gloves which are intended as cushions in order to lessen the pain when a boxer receives punch to the head.
If a player takes the gloves off, then obviously he intends to inflict serious pain on the opponent. Now the playing for fun is over. He wants to really hurt his foe.
In short, when the gloves are off, somebody could seriously get hurt.
Seriously, though, nobody can take Trump seriously. The guy has said a lot of things to surprise all, what with building a wall against Mexicans, banning Muslims from entering the United States and so forth.
In the meantime, Trump has picked up verbal fights with many people, actress Meryl Streep included.
I mean, since what he says often defies belief, how can you know whether Trump means what he says, whatever he says?
All right, enough about Trump. Here are other media examples, all recent, of situations where people take off the gloves, usually figuratively speaking:
1. Donald Trump often notes that he has plenty of millions to battle his way to the Oval Office.
But now another billionaire New Yorker is putting up his own millions to prevent Trump from winning the presidency and is calling on Latinos to be part of that effort.
Financier George Soros is launching, along with other donors, a $15 million campaign to achieve the largest Latino and immigrant participation at the polls, the New York Times reported.
