Trump renews call for pre-debate 'drug test'

President Trump on Sunday again suggested that he and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden should be tested for drugs before the upcoming debate between the two candidates.

Trump, who has sought to make Biden's age and mental agility an issue in the campaign by suggesting he has dementia, has baselessly accused Biden of having used drugs to improve his public performance. In the latest tweet, which comes just two days before the debate, he again seized on the issue.

“I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night. Naturally, I will agree to take one also. His Debate performances have been record setting UNEVEN, to put it mildly. Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy???” Trump tweeted.

In recent days, there has been increased chatter that Trump's repeated claims about Biden could backfire by lowering expectations for his debate performance.

his very own doctor and just bring the results for whoever, but NOT Trump. We all know there is not a doctor that Trump will use that will say anything but that he is perfect. DO NOT use a doctor chosen by Trump.

While I am sure Biden and his team are well aware of this and certainly smart enough to figure it out I just felt like saying it.

He's on such a cocktail of 'medications' by now he hardly notices the cocaine he sniffs.

who needs a drug test. Is he just playing his binary politics game again, presuming that if he wants it the other side will object to it and he ultimately won't have to take it? Trying to get ahead of the curve, Sniffles?

I would honestly be terrified to be alone in a room with him. He looks like a giant reptile. He is a horror to behold.

He projects his own sins and crimes onto others, partly to distract and confuse, but mostly because he thinks everyone is as corrupt and shameless and ruthless as he is.
