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.

      Do the debates, and reveal the results of the drug test (taken by both candidates) DURING the debate. Let’s do this shit like Maury.

      I’ll be amazed if the debate happens, but not because of the Trump camp.

      Flash back to Trump v Hilary. In a sane world, that would have been a smack down, but it wasn’t.

      The issue the Dems have is they keep going “Look at him! He’s Trump!” and everyone goes “uh huh…” and they’re like “Oh shit… I really thought that would have cinched it.”

      Biden can’t make it through a 3 minute address without flubbling/slurring 12 times and then shuffling away looking at the floor like his pampers are full. There is no possible reality that Biden will be able to perform well for a full debate.

      Again, I fucking hate Trump, but the DNC has already sunk the ship for this election, and I think they did it on purpose.

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

    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.

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

    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.

      When they were both running for their Party’s nomination, Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate. Bernie said ‘sure,’ and Trump had to walk it back.

    Anyone remember twitler sniffing like a cokehound all through one of the 2016 debates? Total projection, as usual.

    I can’t wait to see Donny coked up to the gills again so we can all pretend he’s not snorting every five seconds into the fucking microphone

        I’m on the side of drugs, just not for the ones holding power over us and ruining our lives with their hypocrisy.

        It’s not like they’ll ever pass a law that opposes their own comfort anyway.

        I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to reply to my comment though, senator.
