Donald Trump Demands Joe Biden Take Drug Test Before First Debate

Former President Donald Trump demanded President Joe Biden take a drug test before their first debate. At the Minnesota Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner on Friday, Trump claimed Biden was “high as a kite” during the State of the Union address.

“I’m gonna demand a drug test, too, by the way. I am, no, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union; he was as high as a kite,” Trump stated. 

In a radio interview with Hugh Hewitt, Trump accused Biden of being high on cocaine during the speech. “I think what happened is, you know, 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.”

Rep. Greg Murphy (R-North Carolina) also claimed that Biden “must’ve been jacked up on something” in an interview after he delivered the lengthy speech. When asked to elaborate, Murphy stated, “I believe they gave him something to help him sustain the vigor that he had.”

Trump and Biden agreed to participate in two presidential debates scheduled for June and September. During the 2020 election season, Trump also demanded Biden take a drug test due to “uneven” performances during debates. Neither of the two presidential candidates took a drug test.

Trump had Covid-19 during the first presidential debate in 2020 but failed to take a required test before appearing.
