Trump accuses Biden of taking drugs in Fox News interview


Fox News will broadcast an interview Saturday night in which Donald Trump accused Joe Biden of taking performance-enhancing drugs.

“I think there’s probably – – probably – drugs involved,” Trump told Jeanne Piro, in an excerpt. “It simply came to our notice then. I mean, there are drugs. I don’t know how you can go so bad you can’t even get a single sentence. “

Trump did not finish his sentence, but he said he was referring to the Democratic presidential candidate’s reluctant performance in the initial preliminary debate, before the victory began in South Carolina.

Trump said, “You saw some of those discussions with a large number of people on stage.” That was, I mean, ‘How is it possible that he can move on?’

According to the president, Biden won the nomination after the progressive vote split.

“And he won just because Elizabeth Warren didn’t leave.” “She left Bernie [Sanders] Every state would have won Super Tuesday, and you would have Bernie instead of Biden. “

It wasn’t long before Trump’s claim that his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., denied using cocaine before speaking at a Republican convention. Significantly, this is not the first time the 74-year-old Trump has accused Biden of taking drugs.

Addressing the Washington Washington tester last month, the president said: “We will call for a drug test, by the way, because his best performance was against Bernie. [in the final debate].

“It wasn’t Winston Churchill because he wasn’t, but it was a normal, boring discussion. You know, nothing surprising happened. And we’ll call for a drug test because there’s no way – you can’t do that. “

This week, Trump claimed to have made Churchill a channel when he chose not to tell people in public what he knew about the coronavirus threat. The claim was met with ridicule.

Asked by the examiner if he was comparing it to a boxing match of the term, before which fighters are tested for prohibited substances, Trump said: “Well, it’s a prize fight.

“It is no different from gladiators, except that we should use our brains and mouths. And our body is to Bha. I want all standing bha. They want to sit. ”

Notably, Trump pushed Hillary Clinton to the stage during a debate in St. Louis in October 2016. He also challenged Clinton to take a drug test before his last discussion because, he said, she was “pumped up” before confronting him. He denied it.

Trump and Biden are scheduled to meet in Cleveland on September 29, in Miami on October 15, and in Nashville on October 22. Vice Presidential candidates Mike Pence and Kamala Harris will meet in Salt Lake City in October.

Biden did not immediately respond to Trump’s comments on Fox News.

Trump is notoriously hateful and rejects drug use but his political rise has been fueled by a well-documented love of diet coke and junk food.

Surrounded by speculation about his physical and cognitive health, the president was moved earlier this month to deny rumors that he was asked for a brief notice visit to a Washington hospital last November by a “series of minstrokes.”
