Trump has said that he will insist on Biden having a drug test prior to the debates (please see 'I Don't Get It' below). Great, maybe this is buyer's remorse on Trump's part or a calculation ready to be sprung, either way it is a relief. Just hope Trump sticks to it. And on that note, hope he doesn't take the stand in his election interference trial, that would be as crazy as debating Biden when you are winning. PG 4 CGR
Daily Wire, May 19, 2024. Former President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will have a special request for President Joe Biden before the two candidates meet on stage next month for the first of two scheduled debates.
Trump spoke to a crowd of supporters at a Republican fundraiser in St. Paul, Minnesota, Friday night and discussed his upcoming debate with Biden after the two candidates agreed to face off on June 27 and September 10.
“I just want to debate this guy … and I’m going to demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said to the applause of the crowd. “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,” the presumptive Republican nominee added. “I said is that Joe up there? … And by the end of the evening … he was exhausted, right? No, we’re going to demand a drug test.”
Biden’s frequent slip-ups and sometimes angry demeanor during speeches and press conferences have been a target of criticism for Trump. Last month, Trump told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he would request the president be drug tested before future debates.
“I think what happened is that white stuff that they happened to find, which happened to be cocaine in the White House, I don’t know, I think something’s going on there, because I watched this State of the Union, and he was all jacked up at the beginning,” Trump said. “By the end, he was fading fast. There’s something going on there. I want to debate. And I think debates, with him, at least, should be drug tested. I want a drug test.”
Breitbart, May 20, 2024. The White House refused to confirm or deny Monday whether President Joe Biden intends to use performance-enhancing drugs in preparation for the presidential debates.
Former President Donald Trump believes Biden should receive a drug test before the debates.
“I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union,” Trump told Republicans during a speech in Minnesota on Friday. “He was high as a kite. I said, ‘Is that Joe up there, that beautiful room? And by the end of the evening, he’s like” — Trump made a guttural sound — “He was exhausted, right? No, we’re going to demand a drug test.”
“He can’t talk, he can’t walk, can’t find his way off a stage. Can’t put two sentences together,” Trump added. “Although he has agreed to debate, so I don’t know, maybe they know something. He’s going to be so jacked up for those debates, you watch.”
