The Associated Press reports:
President Donald Trump demanded Sunday that his Democratic rival Joe Biden take a drug test either before or after the pair’s first debate on Tuesday, in his latest salvo against his opponent’s mental acuity.
“I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night,” Trump tweeted.
“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???” he continued, without offering any evidence for the claim.

Trump has been saying this nonsense out loud for a little while, but there’s something about seeing it in writing.
Between the second and third 2016 debates, Trump insisted, also ridiculously, that Hillary Clinton was on debate drugs. https://t.co/lKYMHfo7Pz pic.twitter.com/b8cmOMqAqT

I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Drowsy Donald Trump prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night. His Cognitive Test performance IN NAMING ELEPHANTS has been record setting PERFECT, to put it mildly. Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy??? pic.twitter.com/iksxpWEO3A
