Trump demands drug test for Biden ahead of first debate

Former President Trump said he wants President Biden to be drug-tested before their first debate.

“I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said at the Minnesota Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner Friday. “I am, no I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union, he was high as a kite.”

Trump has previously stated in a radio interview that Biden was “all jacked up” at the beginning of his State of the Union address, as well as “higher than a kite.”

Remember back in 2016 when Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate? Bernie said sure and Trump had to walk it back.

The last thing Trump and his people wants it to have to have him stand up in an uncontrolled setting.

I'll be amazed if these debates happen.

Do the debates, and reveal the results of the drug test (taken by both candidates) DURING the debate. Let's do this shit like Maury.

Can Maury reveal it as well?? I would actually watch it then!

Can Maury moderate it? Bring in some family members before they reveal the test results, maybe some videos played to tell us a bit more about them

Perfect. And throw in a few surprise paternity tests at the same time

Oh I meant like several dozen women come out with his illegitimate heirs, but that’d actually be pretty fuckin hilarious.

I hate this but honestly it's the most truly American way to handle it so I say go for it.

It's literally a choice between status quo, or the last election in America. If it's sunk, that is more a result of you then anything the entire Democrat party can do.

31

So... to be clear... your response to someone saying that Democrats are fucking up by thinking "but have you seen him?"... is to double down on "but but but, have you seen him?!?!"

Trump needs to be in a prison, but this shit is directly how the DNC is continuing to shoot itself in the foot with a significant chunk of the population.

The popular vote? Hillary. The egregiously outdated and unfair electoral college vote? The bloated, corrupt rapist that is also a flailing and failing oligarch.

What the 2 party system delivers?

I agree.

But cute sidestep on the question.

I endorse invalidating the 2 party system by not participating in the 2 party system and forcing reform.

You aparently want round 2, Genocidal Joe vs Always was that Trump, but expect a new result. Electric boogaloo.

I also won't vote for militarized police and genocide.

So there's that too.

And how do you plan to do that before shit turns bad?

You shouldn't just ignore elections as if they won't affect you. Unless you have a plan to fix it before the next one. So what's your plan?

I dont. Shits already bad.

Not ignoring it. Awarely and consciously abstaining.

Well folks, I've got some news. Melkath didn't vote. There's only one course now. Electoral College? Scrapped! FPTP voting? Scrapped! Two Party System? Scrapped!

6

As long as at least 1 other person in the country is still voting, "not voting" will never invalidate the system. There's no quorum that has to be met. If only 7 ballots get cast in your state, then all the votes go to the guy that got 4. All you've done by refusing to participate is give the make the other voices louder.

Show me an example in history where doing nothing brought desired change.

Just ONE example.

So Trump is on drugs.

Conservative projection is a confession.

Conservative projection is a confession.

It's tragic how many potentiall talented drag queens are probably hiding their inner light in the GOP right now. Not just because they would feel better about themselves, but because they would cause less harm, and be more of a blessing to their families.

34

Wasn’t trump’s White House doc handing out hard drugs line candy?

23

He’s probably been on drugs for decades. He accused Biden of being on drugs 4 years ago.

It's always projection with these people.

32

Maybe they have to be filmed the whole time 🤔 I wonder if Abbott would let Pornhub operate again if they agreed to film Biden taking a drug test

Yes, please. Subject politicians to the same indignities as the rest of us.

Make Trump take a cognitive test issued by a board certified and independent neurologist and gerontologist.

Trump has to debate diaperless. First shart ends the debate.

Can we make the candidates clean it up as a team? I think it would be fun to watch both of them use a mop...together.

Yeah he's a big important man. Reality can go fuck itself who cares.

He's is clearly suffering from early on set dementia, not too bad at this point but seriously you guys need to get a grip. I agree he's better than the competition, but it's not exactly a high bar is it?

Early onset dementia is for people 65 or younger.

That's fine, I was just answering the question "Have you seen an older person who doesn’t have weekly pill organizer?".

There's plenty of people their age that are healthy. It's just neither of them are healthy.

Obviously Trump has whatever his his mental thing is. I assume he's not taking medication for it though. The drugs he'll be on are illicit.

Sure, reasonable enough.

Trump gets one too, no special treatments, right? RIGHT?

Trump could come steam rolling into the debate with tiny pupils and white powder under his nose and Republicans would give zero fucks. Also, he is clearly on drugs because with Trump, every accusation is an admition.

32

I wish Biden would say something to the effect of "I'm the president of the United States, I don't entertain 'demands' from candidates '.

I can't wait to see Donny coked up to the gills again so we can all pretend he's not snorting every five seconds into the fucking microphone

Anyone remember twitler sniffing like a cokehound all through one of the 2016 debates? Total projection, as usual.

This may be a ploy for Trump to avoid the debates, since he knows he's likely to lose as in 2020. Biden refuses the drug test, Trump then refuses to debate....

How about we just fill them both with amphetamines right before the debate? Would make it entertaining at least.

25

I mean Trump Jr. is definitely using the powder room before going on stage, I wouldn't be surprised if some of Donnie's mishaps on stage are also due to his brain being under the influence.

When they were both running for their Party's nomination, Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate. Bernie said 'sure,' and Trump had to walk it back.

So this proves Trump is taking drugs before going on stage. Every accusation is a confession.

If it hasn't come at trump's request, I would agree with you. But allowing trump to get this win when it comes to changing the requirements for the debates would just open the door for more demands.

11

Oh but you just know Trump would test positive for everything Biden's on and a whole lot more.

4

Says the man who showed up late for one of the debates in one of the last election, presumably because he didn't want to be covid tested.

23

I'd like to test Trump's resistance to several drugs all at once. A Brompton cocktail test

4

I'm on the side of drugs, just not for the ones holding power over us and ruining our lives with their hypocrisy.

It's not like they'll ever pass a law that opposes their own comfort anyway.

I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to reply to my comment though, senator.
