Trump demands drug test for Biden ahead of first debate (thehill.com)

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.”

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

All that performance enhancing Geritol.

Him first

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....

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.

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

Trump: is as usual.

The Flakka Debate

I mean Trump Jr. is definitely using the powder room before going on stage, I wouldn't be surprised if some of Donnie's mishaps on stage are also due to his brain being under the influence.

Add some clown noses and boxing gloves and I'm in.

Oh look, the sequel to birth certificate.

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?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sure, reasonable enough.

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Of course, to all of that

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I'd like to test Trump's resistance to several drugs all at once. A Brompton cocktail test

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Drug test everyone holding a government paid position, daily.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

as someone who joined the war on drugs on the side of drugs: test no one.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.
