“Sleepy” Joe Biden is responding to President Trump’s demands they both take drug tests prior to Tuesday’s presidential debate. The president called out the former Vice President on his months-long stint of uneven debate performances. Trump even offered to participate in the drug test. Biden’s campaign team responded by taunting the president and attempting to draw focus away from Biden’s erratic patterns in public to the Coronavirus pandemic.
I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night. Naturally, I will agree to take one also. His Debate performances have been record setting UNEVEN, to put it mildly. Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy???

Fox News reports:
Biden’s deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield responded to Trump’s comments, disparaging the president and accusing him of trying to deflect from the coronavirus pandemic.
“Vice President Biden intends to deliver his debate answers in words. If the president thinks his best case is made in urine he can have at it,” she wrote. “We’d expect nothing less from Donald Trump, who pissed away the chance to protect the lives of 200K Americans when he didn’t make a plan to stop COVID-19.”
On Monday, Trump tweeted: “Joe Biden just announced that he will not agree to a Drug Test. Gee, I wonder why?”

So will Joe “Hiden” actually answer the call and take the drug test? Doubtful. The presidential hopeful has been finding crafty ways to avoid Trump’s requests and avoid the media for months.
The presidential debate will be moderated by Chris Wallace but the president has not been shy to point out that he believes that the moderator may attempt to “go easy” on Biden.
