US President Donald Trump has asked for himself and Democratic challenger Joe Biden to submit to drug tests before their primary debate next month.
Trump reported to the Washington Examiner he had marked an abrupt improvement in Biden’s performance in the Democratic TV debates.
The president gave no proof his rival might be on drugs other than to say: “I’m pretty good at this stuff.”
Back in 2016, Trump suggested his then-Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, had been “getting pumped up” before their debates and challenged her to take a drug test ahead of their final live TV encounter. The Clinton camp brushed aside his challenge.
On Wednesday, the president – who is set to deliver his keynote address to the ongoing Republican party convention on Thursday – made a similar claim, arguing that Biden’s debating ability had improved markedly in the final debate.
Trump said the former US vice-president “wasn’t even coherent” during some of the 11 live TV debates he competed in against a crowded field of contenders during the Democratic primary season.
By the time of the last debate on 15 March, the field had been whittled down to just Mr Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Trump told the Washington Examiner: “I don’t know how he [Mr Biden] could have been so incompetent in his debate performances and then all of a sudden be OK against Bernie.”
