Former President Donald Trump on Thursday called on President Joe Biden to take a drug test before any potential presidential debates, citing concerns that the president could possibly be under the influence of cocaine at times.
The comments came while Trump was being interviewed with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt.
“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. By the end, he was fading fast,” said Trump.
Trump then added, “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.”
Do you think if there's a debate between Biden and Trump, there should be a drug test like Trump suggested? I do.

When Hewitt then asked the former president if he was suggesting Biden has been using cocaine, Trump said, “I don’t know what he’s using, but … he was higher than a kite, and by the way, it was the worst address I’ve ever seen.”
This is not the first time Trump has publicly expressed suspicion that Biden may be on drugs. Just before the 2020 presidential debates, Trump also commented on Biden’s performance debating other Democrats on stage for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Trump, who is no stranger to making controversial statements, is once again masterfully using his magic weapon — speaking his mind. As he points out the elephant in the room and says what everyone else is already thinking, but isn’t supposed to say, he draws attention to the fact that Biden exhibits strange and out of the ordinary behavior when speaking in public at length and simultaneously puts pressure on him to respond.
Of course, if Biden is indeed on some kind of drug to improve his performance, there is no telling exactly what kind or combination it might be. But it should be noted that Donald Trump is not the only one to have noticed the change both in Biden’s behavior, particularly during his recent State of the Union speech, as some have suggested that his demeanor and way of talking was suggestive of being heavily medicated.
Even Biden’s appearance has changed between now and when he first ran for the presidency, as his face has also developed a very smooth, tight look to it, where it was once wrinkled and drooping.
But regardless of whether or not Biden is using chemical enhancement for his performance, it is still up in the air if there will even be any presidential debates at all. Neither Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris will commit to the idea of doing them and even if there are, Americans can most assuredly expect the environment to be as controlled as possible by a mainstream media completely in bed with the Democratic party.
