Donald Trump has asked Joe Biden to take a drug test before the two face off in next month’s debate.
Speaking at the GOP’s annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner Friday night in St. Paul, Minnesota, Trump suggested the resident was on drugs when he delivered the State of the Union address in March.
Trump told supporters he would insist that Biden take a drug test as a prerequisite for the debates.
Donald Trump asked President Joe Biden to take a drug test before their debates.
President Joe Biden delivered a fiery State of the Union address in March, but Trump wildly said he thought he was on drugs.
“I just want to debate this guy, but you know — and I’m also going to demand a drug test, by the way,” Trump said to applause.
‘I am. No, I really am. I don’t want it to happen like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.
Trump said that during the State of the Union, the president’s attitude surprised him.
‘I said, ‘Is that Joe up there?’
Trump said Biden “was exhausted” by the end of his one-hour, seven-minute speech.
“We are going to require a drug test,” Trump said again. “He’s going to be so excited for this, you watch.”
Trump spoke to guests at the annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner hosted by the Minnesota Republican Party in St. Paul, Minnesota.

At the time, Fox News’ Sean Hannity said he nicknamed Biden “Jacked-Up Joe,” saying, “He seemed like a hyper-caffeinated, angry old man.”
The upcoming debates will be different from those organized in previous campaigns in that they will not take place in front of a studio audience. Additionally, the candidate who is not scheduled to speak at that time will have their microphone muted.
During Friday’s campaign stop, Trump promised to reverse Biden’s environmental policies as they relate to automakers before attacking the economy’s performance. He also pledged to resolve the current border crisis.
Trump also took aim at Biden’s habit of telling false stories when it comes to his life experiences.
“He’s so full of bullshit,” Trump said, laughing.
“He is a horrible president who is destroying our country,” he continued before adding: “He is also a horrible human being.”
Trump then called the president a “non-athlete” and attacked his golf game, accusing him of inflating his golfing abilities.
Trump repeated a false claim that he won Minnesota in the 2020 election, falsely stating that he won “a landslide in your state.”
There is no evidence that there were any serious irregularities in the state.
The former president is making the most of his days outside the New York criminal courtroom, where he is in the midst of his secret trial.

The former president is making the most of his days outside the New York criminal courtroom, where he is in the middle of his secret trial over money.
He campaigned in Minnesota after attending his son Barron’s high school graduation in Florida. Minnesota is traditionally a Democratic state, but Trump believes he can win in November.
No Republican presidential candidate has won Minnesota since Richard Nixon in 1972, but Trump nearly flipped the state in 2016, when he lost to Democrat Hillary Clinton by 1.5 percentage points.
Later in the day, he is expected to address thousands of National Rifle Association members in Texas.
Trump will deliver the keynote address as the powerful gun lobby holds a forum in Dallas. Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott will also speak at the convention.
Trump pledged to continue defending the Second Amendment and called himself “the best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House” as the country faces a record number of deaths from mass shootings.
Last year ended with 42 massacres and 217 deaths, making it one of the deadliest years on record.

Speaking on the campaign trail on Friday, Trump said: “You know, it’s an incredible thing. People who have guns, people who legitimately have guns, love guns and use them for good purposes, but they tend to vote very little and yet they have to vote for us.
“There is no one else to vote for because Democrats want to take their guns away and they will take them away.” He added: “That’s why I’m going to talk to the NRA tomorrow and say, ‘You need to get out and vote.’
With Trump enjoying strong support in Texas, Democrats believe they have a chance to score a surprise in November with former NFL player, U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, running an underdog campaign to unseat Republican Senator Ted Cruz.
No Democrat has won statewide office in Texas in 30 years, the longest such streak in the United States.
