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.

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 91 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

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

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

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

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.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

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

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 110 points 5 months ago

Please drug test trump 🙏🏻

[-] newtraditionalists@kbin.social 68 points 5 months ago

Yeah, this is clearly one of those the accusation is a confession moments.

[-] sndmn@lemmy.ca 31 points 5 months ago

It's always projection with these people.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 105 points 5 months ago

I'd love for both of them to take one.

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 36 points 5 months ago

But then the results of that would be rigged, too.

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

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

[-] ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 5 months ago

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

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 5 months ago

With blind live reading of the results

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 60 points 5 months ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 36 points 5 months ago

Why would you torture the janitor like that?

"Welcome to the Biden-Trump presidential debat....and it's over. Goodnight, folks."

[-] mkwt@lemmy.world 50 points 5 months ago

These are both old men... They both take a lot of drugs. This is America. Have you seen an older person who doesn't have weekly pill organizer?

[-] refalo@programming.dev 11 points 5 months ago

yes, they're called healthy

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 17 points 5 months ago

Neither of those two are healthy though.

I thought this was covered by "This is America" /s

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 39 points 5 months ago

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 '.

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 37 points 5 months ago

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

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 36 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Forestial@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago

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....

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago

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

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 7 points 5 months ago

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

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

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

Christ, this man is an imbecile.

[-] voluble@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Oh look, the sequel to birth certificate.

[-] nixcamic@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago
[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 26 points 5 months ago

Or: dose them both the fuck up. Let's see the both of them up there rolling like the old lady from Requiem for a Dream.

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.

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.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago
[-] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

However, drugs are mandatory for viewers.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago
