Trump Demands Biden Take a Drug Test Before Debating and Claims the President Was ‘High as a Kite’ During the State of the Union

“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “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 needs to submit one first. Taken by an impartial authority. Throw in a proper cognitive test.

disguy_ovahea,

Something tells me he’s projecting.

AdamEatsAss,

Send him to some random drug test place like they do for a job interview. Those nurses won’t take shit from anyone. “Oh you accidentally flushed the toilet after peeing in the cup, guess you’re coming back tomorrow.”

AlpacaChariot,

Is this a thing in America?

Emma_Gold_Man,

Yes, it really is.

AdamEatsAss,

Yes it is. Many companies require a drug screening for illegal substances. It’s often unclear what they’re testing for or what would prevent you from getting hired and what is a violation of your rights. Most people need a job so they put with with it. But there are numerous companies that all they do is these drug screening.

AA5B,

They do seem to have backed off a bit on recent years, at least with companies I’ve worked for. It’s been quite a few years.

The last time, they tried to start drug testing for current employees. I didn’t bother going and they didn’t bother me about it

The debates will be a lot more boring if they’re both not on drugs.

Mastengwe,

Trump is in NO position to demand anything. He’s lucky he’s been allowed to fleece this country and get away with being a criminal as long as he has.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein,

This was a pretty predictable comment, given that (1) Trump himself has long been alleged to snort Adderall and take other stimulants, and (2) Trump always, without fail, accuses his enemies of exactly what he is already doing.

billiam0202,

The day Trump accuses Biden of sleeping with Ivanka is gonna be wild.

grue,

That’ll never happen, because Trump’s not actually doing it.

Edit: Wait, I misread and thought you were talking about Melania.

TexasDrunk,

The edit really made this comment amazing.

Says the guy who allegedly held coke parties at the Plaza while he was hooking up with underaged teenage girls, hung out with a known human trafficker, paid hush money to multiple women to hide how much of a predator he is, and has been found guilty of raping at least one of them.

Let’s drug test them both.

In fact, I have a better idea. The debate is headed by Snoop Dogg. Both of them have to get high with him and answer his questions.

MagicShel,

I think Biden demand Trump submit dna for comparison to cold case rape kits.

Landsharkgun,

I second that idea. ‘Once while sober and once while drunk’ and all that.

Trump currently mumbles word salad at his rallies, because he doesn’t need drugs to sound like his brain is failing.

Trump should get a brain scan 🪱

Thrillhouse,

Says Trump who is nonstop railing Adderall

Drusas,

Dude probably snorts it.

Thrillhouse,

(that’s what railing means)

Drusas,

TIL. Thanks.

Corkyskog,

Just another lame attempt to get out of the debate.

xmunk,

Honestly, I don’t fucking give a shit if they’re absolutely loaded or not - they’re fucking old so if medication will cause them to be less incompetent I’m all for it.

Projection

“I will if you take a dementia test…”

Rapidcreek,

Donald pulled the same “they need a drug test” stunt on Hillary Clinton in 2016 before a debate, proving that this silly ole drama queen needs a new bag of tricks.

DeepThought42,

The funny thing is it was the Trump WH medical staff that was found to be illegally distributing drugs to staffers. Not saying definitively that Trump was partaking, but …

Trump White House pharmacy improperly provided drugs and misused funds, Pentagon report says

Rentlar,

The drug scheduling rules that the Trump White House pharmacy was following were inspired by “It’s every day, bro” by Jake Paul.

Thrillhouse,

This one I’m not so scandalized about. I’m sure every White House admin does this - they have hard and punishing international work where they need to be sharp. Ronnie Jackson was there during Obama too.

generichate1546,

Welp…I guess we’re safe to presume Trump is loaded on drugz…the z makes it different and ok…

goferking0,

They should give them surprise ones right before they go on then live announce the results
