Trump Demands Biden Drug Test, as They Head to Tuesday Debate

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday he will demand
   that his Democratic challenger in the November 3 national election,
   former Vice President Joe Biden, take a drug test before or after their
   debate this Tuesday night, suggesting that Biden's uneven performance
   in previous political debates this year was because he was drugged.

   Trump's unorthodox accusation, which he leveled previously in recent
   weeks, came as he continues to trail Biden in national polling, as he
   has for months. Trump is facing the possibility of becoming the third
   U.S. president in the last four decades to lose a bid for re-election
   to a second four-year term.

   "I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to,
   or after, the Debate on Tuesday night,' Trump said on Twitter.
   "Naturally, I will agree to take one also. His Debate performances have
   been record setting UNEVEN, to put it mildly. Only drugs could have
   caused this discrepancy???"

   Biden engaged in a string of debates with other contenders for the
   Democratic presidential nomination starting last year and extending
   into 2020.
