Supposedly, Trump has challenged Joe to submit to a pre-debate drug test and says he'll submit

to one also. A couple of questions for him:

1,) Instead of just a urine screening, which would show up drug use in the past several days, will you consent to a hair sample analysis, which will reveal drug use---including amphetamines, i.e., Adderall---during the past 90 days?

2.) As long as a lab will be involved, why not a drop of blood (or whatever) for a DNA test? (Several women might find that useful.)

Golf, business, taxes, you name it, he's a complete fraud. I would guarantee Biden isn't on anything illegal, but they'll make a big deal of it if he even takes some little something for pain, which would be perfectly normal for a man his age. Meanwhile, Trump would find a way to cheat, as usual, and they would make Biden out to be Keith Richards. No, Biden's no fool. There just won't be a debate, most likely.
