In a recent interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, former President Donald Trump once again insinuated that President Joe Biden has used cocaine. Trump brought up the discovery of a baggie of the drug in a heavily trafficked area of the White House last summer, suggesting that both Hunter Biden and his father may have been involved. However, the Secret Service could not identify the person responsible for the incident.

Trump expressed his doubts about Biden's willingness to engage in a debate before their expected rematch in November. He stated that while he hopes Biden agrees to the debate, he suspects something suspicious may be happening based on Biden's behavior during his State of the Union speech. Trump claimed that Biden seemed "all jacked up" at the beginning but was "fading fast" by the end, insinuating that the president may be using something to boost his energy levels.

The former president went on to propose that debates, particularly with Biden, should involve drug tests, implying that Biden may be using illicit substances. When asked if he believed Biden was using cocaine, Trump responded, "I don't know what he's using, but that was not ― hey, he was higher than a kite." Trump also added that Biden often appeared as if he was falling asleep and suggested that he was being assisted in some way.

In response to Trump's comments, Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa dismissed them as "a bizarre outburst" while emphasizing Trump's "toxic agenda." Trump has repeatedly called for a debate with Biden, despite his own avoidance of the Republican primary debates.

Biden previously mentioned that his participation in a debate would depend on Trump's behavior. Additionally, Trump insisted that Biden should undergo a drug test before their upcoming debates in 2020.

It remains to be seen how these allegations and calls for drug testing will impact the upcoming election season. Both candidates will likely face intense scrutiny and challenges as they vie for the presidency in November.
