Trump Proposes Drug Test Ahead Of Next Debate With Clinton

Source: Huffington Post

Donald Trump suggested that he and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton should undergo a drug test before their third and final debate on Oct. 19.

“Athletes ― they make them take a drug test, right? I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate,” Trump told the crowd at a campaign rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on Saturday.

Trump went on to insinuate that Clinton might be using performance-enhancing drugs to improve her debate skills.

“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,” Trump said.

He's obliquely addressing the speculation about his sniffles at debates 1 & 2 being the result of cocaine use. Drug testing will never happen, so he will never be subjected to testing but will point out that he suggested it after he is criticized again for sniffling his way through debate number 3. Or maybe Hillary should double-down and agree to pre-debate drug testing and see what shows up in Trump's report?

and it's his way of trying to disprove those who said he was using cocaine in the first two debates. In my mind, it is his admission that he did take cocaine prior to those debates. I'm a physician, and his signs and symptoms certainly fit. At the very least, erratic behavior, uncontrollable sniffling and increased thirst certainly necessitate the inclusion of nasal cocaine use in the differential diagnosis.

Trump Has A Breakdown In New Hampshire And Accuses Hillary Clinton Of Being On Drugs

By Jason Easley on Sat, Oct 15th, 2016 at 1:06 pm
.............


http://www.politicususa.com/2016/10/15/trump-breakdown-hampshire-accuses-hillary-clinton-drugs.html

..............Donald Trump’s national meltdown tour continued in New Hampshire, where the Republican nominee accused Hillary Clinton of being on drugs and demanded that she take a drug test before the next presidential debate.

Video:

Trump said, “She’s getting pumped up. Let’s see. You know. Maybe? I don’t know. We’re like athletes right? Hey, look. I beat seventeen senators, governors. I beat all these people. We’re like athletes. Hillary beat Bernie, although it looked like Bernie got a little bit of a bad deal based on Wikileaks. Right? We’re like athletes right? So, athletes, they’re making them more and more. But athletes, they make them take a drug test right? I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. I do. Why don’t we do that? We should take a drug test prior because I don’t know what’s going on with her.”

Since everything Donald Trump accuses Hillary Clinton of is an act of projection, the Republican nominee should be drug tested right away.

Voters are witnessing Trump have a nervous breakdown all across the country. Trump is falling apart. His accusations against Hillary Clinton are getting crazier every day. In his own mind, Trump sees himself as a world class athlete, not the screaming morbidly obese senior citizen who is a stroke waiting to happen. A drug test would be interesting because it would great to see what Trump is on.

Her campaign hasn't accused him of snorting cocaine, so she has nothing to gain by even responding to this.

Anyway, a drug test would be meaningless, since a urine test wouldn't detect it after 3 days and he could just do a few lines after he takes the test. She would have to demand a hair test, which can detect use over the last 3 months, but Donald would just twist that around to say that she's afraid to take a test for more recent drug use.

Finally, it allows him to call the tune on how the debate will be conducted, which is just feeding into his insanity.

Frankly, I don't care if the guy is snorting enough cocaine to kill a draft horse. It's his demented actions that are the real concern, and those are obvious to everyone. No drug test required.
