Trump Calls on Biden to Take ‘DRUG TEST’ and Says He’d Take One Too

Former President Donald Trump is calling on President Joe Biden to take a drug test ahead of their debate.

The two presumptive nominees will debate for the first time this election cycle on Thursday in what is so far the first of two scheduled debates. Trump and his allies have long portrayed Biden as old and feeble, if not outright senile. However, the former president’s campaign is reportedly aware that such a depiction has “lowered the expectations” for Biden in such a way that any halfway competent performance in the debate could receive rave reviews.

“I watched him with Paul Ryan and he destroyed Paul Ryan,” Trump recently said of Biden’s performance in the 2012 vice presidential debate. “So, I’m not underestimating him… I assume he’s gonna be somebody that will be a worthy debater.”

On Monday, Trump took to Truth Social where he called on Biden to take a drug test.

“DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!” he wrote.

Last week, Trump suggested Biden will do cocaine before Thursday’s debate.

On Sunday, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who served as White House physician during the Trump and Obama administrations, called on Biden to take a drug test before and after the debate.

“It’s embarrassing that I have to do this, and it’s really embarrassing as a former White House physician to have to do something like this, but we don’t have any choice based on what’s going on,” he told Fox News. “But I’m gonna be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that he submit to a drug test before and after this debate, specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs.”

Fox News host Sean Hannity has also suggested Biden may have used pick-me-ups. After this year’s State of the Union, Hannity called the president “Jacked-Up Joe.”
