Tr**p likes to get out in front of a situation to control the narrative. Particularly in this situation where he is saying that Biden should take a drug test before the debate.
It is my suspicion that Tr**p knows he himself is taking drugs and if he gets out in front of this situation and says Biden should take a drug test - he probably knows that Biden would disagree and refuse.
If that be the case - that gives Tr**p an out to refuse a drug test himself.
This gets Tr**p off the hook.
I also don't think Tr**p really wants to debate. This could also give him an out or an excuse to - in the end - refuse to debate.
This is especially more of a reality now that Biden has gotten the better of Tr**p by setting the parameters of the debate - with no audience; shutting off the mikes; etc.
Tr**p thrives off an audience. With no audience he can't play off of audience reaction. Tr**p can't debate without interrupting. Without that tactic - again he's forced to listen and react - and Tr**p has no attention span and unless he's in a situation where he can bully - he can't react on his feet extemporaneously.
Bottom line - Tr**p didn't expect Biden to be willing to debate him. So he thought he would be cute and say 'anytime, anywhere, anyplace'.
Now that Biden agreed - and even had the opportunity to set the ground rules for the debate - Tr**p is looking for any excuse to not debate and blame Biden for no debate(s).
I actually think that even though they set dates for these debates - before debate time - Tr**p will find a way to back out and blame Biden.
