"'I want a drug test': Trump floats idea President Biden is using cocaine"

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-biden-cocaine/

'There’s something going on there. I want to debate. And I think debates, with him, at least, should be drug tested. I want a drug test," he (Trump) added.'

My words: You first, Trumpy.

Thu Apr 4, 2024, 11:55 AM

take away Biden's chance to demand a debate with Tr**p first?

Is Tr**p now leading the narrative on a presidential level debate?

If Biden agrees to a debate - but with some controls - so Tr**p doesn't blow his lungs out with lies - does it make Biden look bad? Does this then let Tr**p go off on - that his free speech is being stifled?

I remember when Tr**p debated Hillary - he would talk over her. He would make background comments as she spoke. He stalked her - milling around the stage behind her back. Overall - he made a spectacle of those debates.

I really don't see Tr**p trying to interact in a legitimate debate - without any of his shenanigans going on in the background.

of being able to string coherent sentences together without a teleprompter. A debate requires a LOT of fast thinking with responses (he may have the questions, but no idea what Biden would say), and you know he would devolve into gibberish before 15 minutes had elapsed. While making a complete fool of himself with his toddler imitation. Not to mention stinking up the place.

he's stolen the narrative and has put Biden on the defensive and possibly in a weakened position.

I'm hoping that there is some way that Biden can reposition himself on this and basically say the things about TSF that you pointed out in your post.

My first reaction was, hey so you ARE using cocaine.

I know it has become a popular political tactic used very effectively by people like Karl Rove - accuse your opponent of whatever your faults may be. The problem is Trump doesn't understand nuance at all. He uses it to confess to every shortcoming and sin that he possesses. If he had good political advisers that he actually listened to, he would dial it down a few notches or maybe he has some inherent need to confess.

Accusing someone like Joe Biden of using cocaine is like accusing Donald Trump of fidelity or honesty or attending church regularly.

This is just a continuation of the Republican's MO......They have done it forever, and no one ever calls them on it.

If the Republican or Republicans are doing something themselves. The call the Dems for doing it. Them Dems are so busy defending themselves that they aren't, it gets completely lost that the Repubs are doing it. If the Dems are investigated, and found innocent, there is never a counter investigation of the Repubs. All day, everyday the Repubs have done this for decades. And the Dems time is spent being constantly on the Defensive......and never having time to spend on the offensive......

The whole thing the Republicans do is exactly what us guys did in our teenage years.....If there were a group of guys standing around talking, or riding in a car, a guy would fart, and immediately say: "Okay, who farted".......all the other guys would immediately start defending themselves that they didn't do it.

Finally, someone came up with the saying: "Fox smells his own hole first"....

We know his "ideas". He has none. He says stupid shit like, "I will solve the border crisis in 24 hours" and when you ask him "HOW" he starts saying more stupid shit like, "I have a powerful plan..."

A real debate is about ideas and policies which the candidate will propose and implement to make things better.

Trump just wants spectacle. He is a BAD FAITH actor. There is no reason to debate.

The way that Biden handled "debates" last time was fine. There have to be rules about what is debated and about behavior. Trump is desperate and needs the debate WAY more than Biden does. He should have to concede to the rules.

Now that Biden has begun actually getting out and campaigning, Trump needs to find some excuse for being trounced by a man he insisted was a sleepy elderly cognitively impaired man.

Also, there is no magic drug to reverse cognitive decline and dementia. Trump is the same ignorant fool that promoted hydroxychloroquine as a cure/treatment for COVID.

...so long as it's on stage and Trump's urine is tested too.

It would be way cool: Agilent makes a GC/MS on wheels. We get a technician to push one on stage between the podiums. Each candidate is escorted to the latrine for an observed sample just like they do in the Army. Then the escort holds the urine and presents it to the technician...

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just run a 200-Drug Screen on the participants in tonight's debate."
(Holding up printout about six inches long...) "President Biden shows no drug metabolites in his sample."
(Holding up printout so long the end is down to the technician's knees...) "Former President Trump got a perfect score: if this machine can test for it, he pissed hot for it. I can't even pronounce some of these drugs."
