Former President Trump said he wants President Biden to be drug-tested before their first debate.

“I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said at the Minnesota Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner Friday. “I am, no I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union, he was high as a kite.”

Trump has previously stated in a radio interview that Biden was “all jacked up” at the beginning of his State of the Union address, as well as “higher than a kite.”

    Remember back in 2016 when Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate? Bernie said sure and Trump had to walk it back.

    The last thing Trump and his people wants it to have to have him stand up in an uncontrolled setting.

    I’ll be amazed if these debates happen.

      Conservative projection is a confession.

      It’s tragic how many potentiall talented drag queens are probably hiding their inner light in the GOP right now. Not just because they would feel better about themselves, but because they would cause less harm, and be more of a blessing to their families.

      He’s probably been on drugs for decades. He accused Biden of being on drugs 4 years ago.

    Make Trump take a cognitive test issued by a board certified and independent neurologist and gerontologist.

    These are both old men… They both take a lot of drugs. This is America. Have you seen an older person who doesn’t have weekly pill organizer?

            Yeah he’s a big important man. Reality can go fuck itself who cares.

            He’s is clearly suffering from early on set dementia, not too bad at this point but seriously you guys need to get a grip. I agree he’s better than the competition, but it’s not exactly a high bar is it?

          That’s fine, I was just answering the question “Have you seen an older person who doesn’t have weekly pill organizer?”.

            There’s plenty of people their age that are healthy. It’s just neither of them are healthy.

            Obviously Trump has whatever his his mental thing is. I assume he’s not taking medication for it though. The drugs he’ll be on are illicit.

    Sure, reasonable enough.

    Trump gets one too, no special treatments, right? RIGHT?

      Trump could come steam rolling into the debate with tiny pupils and white powder under his nose and Republicans would give zero fucks. Also, he is clearly on drugs because with Trump, every accusation is an admition.

    I wish Biden would say something to the effect of "I’m the president of the United States, I don’t entertain ‘demands’ from candidates '.

    This may be a ploy for Trump to avoid the debates, since he knows he’s likely to lose as in 2020. Biden refuses the drug test, Trump then refuses to debate…

      How about we just fill them both with amphetamines right before the debate? Would make it entertaining at least.

    So this proves Trump is taking drugs before going on stage. Every accusation is a confession.
