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.”

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.

Add some clown noses and boxing gloves and I'm in.

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.

Trump: is as usual.

The Flakka Debate

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.
