Trump bizarrely demands Joe Biden takes a drug test before their first debate – he’ll even get one too

Donald Trump has just demanded Joe Biden should take a drug test before their first major debate against each other on Tuesday.

The POTUS claimed on Sunday morning that Biden’s recent debate performances have been “record-setting UNEVEN”, so he wants confirmation that his political opponent isn’t under the influence of drugs.

Naturally, he’s fine with taking a drug test too.

He tweeted:

People responded in disappointment to the POTUS:

It’s unclear which debate performance of Biden’s in particular set Trump off on this latest rant, but it’s not the first time he’s suggested the idea of a drug test.

Earlier this month, Trump claimed on Fox News:

I think there’s probably – possibly – drugs involved. That’s what I hear. I mean, there’s possibly drugs. I don’t know how you can go from being so bad where you can’t even get out a sentence…

In 2016, Trump also challenged Hillary Clinton to take a drug test before their third debate in the presidential election.

During a rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, he claimed:

Athletes, they make them take a drug test. We should take a drug test prior to the debate because I don’t know what’s going on with her. But at the beginning of her last debate, she was all pumped up at the beginning. And at the end … she could barely reach her car.

I'm willing to do it.

If they drug test Trump, they likely find hydroxychloroquine. This is after he admitted to taking the drug to prevent coronavirus – a baseless claim that isn't backed by scientific evidence.

Trump and Biden are scheduled for three major debates in the next month – 29 September, 7 October and 15 October.
