Trump Accuses Biden of Drug Use, Calls for Debate Drug Testing
ICARO Media Group
In a recent interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, former President Donald Trump made baseless insinuations that President Joe Biden used cocaine during his State of the Union speech last month. Trump also called for drug testing before any debate with Biden, accusing him of being "higher than a kite."
During the interview, Trump mentioned the discovery of a baggie containing cocaine in a heavily trafficked area of the White House last summer. However, the Secret Service stated that they were unable to determine who the drugs belonged to. Trump then went on to suggest that both Hunter Biden and his father were using the stash, without providing any evidence to support his claims.
When asked about the possibility of a debate with Biden before their expected rematch in November, Trump expressed doubt, but stated that he hoped Biden would agree. He then went on to say, "I want a drug test. I think debates, with him at least, should be drug-tested." Trump further alleged that Biden appeared to be "jacked up" at the beginning of his State of the Union speech but faded quickly by the end, suggesting that there was "something going on there."
Trump's remarks were met with dismissal by Biden's campaign spokesperson, Ammar Moussa, who referred to them as a "bizarre outburst" and criticized Trump's "toxic agenda." It should be noted that Trump has consistently called for debates with Biden, despite declining to participate in any Republican presidential primary debates.
Biden himself has previously stated that the decision to participate in a debate would depend on Trump's behavior. Trump's demand for a drug test before the debates echoes a similar call he made during the 2020 debates.
As of now, it remains to be seen whether Biden will agree to a debate and if drug testing will become a requirement. The allegations made by Trump regarding Biden's drug use continue to be baseless, lacking any solid evidence to support them.
As the November rematch between Trump and Biden draws closer, their campaigns and supporters await a possible debate showdown that may or may not include the contentious issue of drug testing.
