As the US presidential race continues to heat up, Donald Trump has taken his controversial tactics to a new level by demanding that his opponent, Joe Biden, undergo a drug test before their upcoming debate. The unexpected accusation has caused a stir in the political arena, with many questioning the motive behind Trump's bold move.
According to sources, Trump made the demand during a recent rally, stating that he believes Biden's performance in the previous Democratic debates was fueled by some form of performance-enhancing drug. He further expressed his concern that Biden would not be able to keep up with him during the highly anticipated face-off, hence the need for a drug test.

The call for a drug test has been met with mixed reactions, with some praising Trump for his transparency and others condemning it as a desperate attempt to discredit his opponent. The Biden camp has vehemently denied any allegations of drug use, with one spokesperson calling it a "pathetic and desperate attempt to distract from the real issues at hand."
This is not the first time that Trump has made controversial statements about Biden's mental and physical fitness. Throughout the campaign, he has repeatedly questioned Biden's cognitive abilities, often using derogatory nicknames and mocking his age. Some experts believe that this latest demand for a drug test is just another tactic in Trump's playbook to cast doubt on Biden's capabilities.

With the first presidential debate just around the corner, the pressure is on for both candidates to perform their best. However, the focus has now shifted from policies and plans to a potential drug test, which has left many wondering if this will be a distraction from the real issues that need to be addressed.
The debate over the drug test demand has also reignited discussions about the importance of mental and physical health in a presidential candidate. Should drug tests be a standard requirement for all political candidates? Or is this just another attempt to discredit opponents and manipulate the public's perception?
Whatever the case may be, one thing is for sure – the upcoming debate between Trump and Biden is now set to be even more dramatic and contentious. As the two candidates prepare to face off, the question on everyone's mind is, will Biden accept Trump's challenge and take the drug test? And if he does, what will the results reveal?
As the nation eagerly awaits the first presidential debate, one thing is certain – the drama and unpredictability of the 2020 election continue to unfold. Whether Trump's demand for a drug test will have any impact on the outcome remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure – it has certainly added another layer of intrigue to an already contentious race for the White House.
What are YOUR thoughts?
We want to hear from you! Please comment below to join the discussion.
If anyone should be tested it’s Trump.
I’ve only commented twice, nothing bad, racist or offensive but twice now I’ve had ‘Comment is awaiting moderation’. I think I’ll not bother and just unsubscribe to Main Street Press as it’s pointless if they won’t let you post comments.
ADRUG TEST, WHY NOT?
Should Biden agree to test, the results will be skewed in his favor if his MD runs the test.
For Biden’s safety, he will not agree.
Trump has agreed to Biden’s demands. Trump only has one demand and that is a drug test on the day of and just prior to starting the presidential debate , absolutely nothing wrong with that, if biden does not apply to that, what is he hiding?
no he might fall again
It’s very simple to sort out, both candidates take the test, under observations of four doctors, the urine samples being split under the watch of all the doctors, these samples are to be tested under observation of all. Now if they are finding this so hard to work this out, it’s no wonder the country is in a bad state of affairs.
I don’t blame Pres. Trump for asking Biden to take a drug test. It was apparent that Biden was on something the night of the State of the Union Address. He was really on the ball reading the Tela prompter and I haven’t heard him speak so well in his whole 3 years of President.
Both should take test
Why not
I have had to take them for jobs
Trump doesn’t have to do anything to discredit Biden. About the only thing Biden does do well is discredit himself.
A serious mistake for Biden to ever consider debating an infant. Trump has no shame amongst everything else and that in itself makes a debate completely senseless.
Bidens handlers will cheat. Yes, biden should absolutely take a test for drugs!°°°°°°°!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe, just tell Trump he has to hold the cup.
We know Jr. has a drug problem, so I think it’s extremely reasonable that “The Big Guy” Daddy Biden should be drug tested !
Everyone already knows he’s on drugs.Sometimes he can’t put one sentence together,other times he can’t shut up with all the lies,, like always, Don’t be a puss tough guy, take the test!! He will fail if he does which is nothing new. (He’s failed at everything else)…..
