Trump, Still Stuck in 2020, Recycles His Tired Drug Test Demand

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-still-stuck-in-2020-recycles-his-tired-drug-test-demand

Former President Donald Trump, who four years ago called on Joe Biden to take a drug test prior to the pair’s first debate that September, decided to make the same demand on Friday—one that Biden is sure to wave away once more.

At a campaign rally in Minnesota—where he said he would never return if he lost the state in 2020—the indicted former president recycled his old line of attack against the now-president in advance of the debate next month on CNN.

“I just want to debate this guy, but you know, I’m going to demand a drug test, by the way. I am, I really am,” Trump told supporters at the state GOP Reagan Dinner in St. Paul.

Trump then reiterated what has become a right-wing talking point on Fox News and other platforms regarding Biden’s State of the Union address, which seemed to quell criticisms of the president’s demeanor.

Does this mean Trump is also going to do a drug test?

bradv@lemmy.ca · 28 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Sure, but he'll pick the doctor for both of them

I want Dr. Demon Semen to tell us Biden is vaccine injured and injected with demon semen.

Yeah he does know that they'll test both of them right?

He probably just thinks they'll only test Biden because he asked for Biden to be tested.

I have a feeling the drugs he was on for a long time he cut back on, like Adderall shortages and Trump suddenly falling asleep everywhere.

Pretty ironic seeing Rolling Stone of all publications displaying a disapproving stance on drug use

Right? They could be just pissed at the hypocrisy of it all.

I would like to see a list of the medications Trump takes daily. Rumor has it that prescription (and non-prescription) medication flowed freely in his White House. What is the saying? People who smoke glass shouldn't throw stones?

No I think it’s

people who live in glass pipes shouldn’t smoke rocks

Lacking anything close to empathy, every accusation of this narcissist is an admission.

Is Ronald McDonald going to go first? And make sure he's tested for everything?

Not sure why you're being down voted, with the stress and stakes of the presidency I assume every single modern president has had their performance enhanced a number of times.

Precisely.

Lmao I was at ~5 upvotes, now I'm in the negative, and no one has written a comment explaining their disapproval for either of us. Amazing

People think that being the president of the USA is a 9-5 job, Monday to Friday. :)
