Does that sound in any way suspicious?
The Biden Campaign has clearly rejected the possibility of agreeing to take a drug test. This rejection is causing concern among those who have challenges believing that Biden possesses the mental capacity of a president, provoking more questions about what the former vice president knows that he is hiding
The expectations for Biden have been astonishingly lowered. Simply appearing and not collapsing seems to be enough to garner accolades from a sympathetic media. But should we, as a nation, settle for such minimal standards for our leader?
Reportedly, Dr Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, has called for Biden to undergo a drug test before and after the debate. This demand, considering the high stakes and the necessity for transparency, is not unreasonable. President Trump has already expressed his willingness to undergo a drug test, demonstrating his openness and accountability.
However, the Biden camp’s refusal to comply only heightens suspicions that Biden might rely heavily on medication to function daily. Numerous Americans have observed his frequent gaffes, apparent confusion, and instances suggesting a decline in mental acuity. These are not mere idle speculations but serious concerns regarding the fitness of a potential leader of the free world
The last time Joe Biden was publicly seen, he appeared noticeably unsteady, staggering and swaying across the tarmac in Maryland on his way to Camp David. These images exacerbate concerns about his health and his capability to lead.
Previously, President Trump called on Biden to take a drug test before a 2020 debate, and Biden refused. This repeated refusal deepens the suspicions and concerns regarding Biden’s actual health status and his aptitude to lead the nation.

The entire 2020 election was a lie wasn't it? Your people had 50 court hearings and showed zero evidence. as it stands it's a fair election. So trump is a bad faith elector.
The Trump camp has zero faith in the system. So why give them an inch? It will be 100% false with every safe gaurd possible and every trumpist make believe 1000s of different conspiracies. Why give them a plot of land to grow there weeds of lies?
Just like self-defense homeowners shouldn't talk to the police about using self-defense. There is no good faith in communicating with cops. You rightfully save your life with a God-appointed gun at your home, saving your family's life. If you talk to a cop, you lose all your rights.
Everything you give to the cop will be used against you using self-defense. I was training for this single moment for years turns into jerk off for this one moment. Then you go to jail. It's Honestly that easy to turn words around let alone conspiracy so never give an inch.
In reference to another typical anonymous coward below, that can't defend her thoughts and deletes comments, Trump never refused ANY test and when he had cognitive tests, as well as medical exams, he made them all public and even had the Whitehouse doctor hold a nearly two hour press conference going over the results. Then she tells me, "nobody is shocked" by Joe Biden's pathetic showing at the debates! That it was, "expected". Lol... If that was the case, none of us would be having this conversation!
@Wallythewalrus2 I see I'm going to have to not allow anonymous replies again as they don't play fair. 🙄
"Trump never refused ANY test" Except the covid test he was supposed to take before his debate four years ago. That was because he'd already tested positive. He put people's lives at risk.
"At the 2020 debate Trump was scheduled to be tested for COVID, everyone was supposed to be tested for COVID AT THE VENUE, THE DAY OF THE DEBATE. Biden and his people got tested, they followed the rules designed to protect themselves, AND OTHERS. But Trump, and his enablers, showed up late to avoid testing for COVID because, as Mark Meadows' 2021 book revealed, Trump had tested positive for COVID Saturday, September 26 2020, three days before the September 29th debate.
Also, his entourage didn't wear masks, as was required by the venue."
crooksandliars.com/.../whats-hiding-trumps-blood-debate
@goaded Trump wasn't required to take a test the night of the debate. The rule was they had to have a negative test within 72 hrs of the debate, which according to Trump and his "enablers, he did. Also, Mark Meadows said, in his book, that the positive test, on the 26th, was viewed as a "false positive", because following tests were negative.
It wasn't "following tests", it was a single test, three days before the debate (26 September) and he was definitely infected three days after the debate.
"The host, Chris Wallace of Fox News, later said Trump was not tested before the debate because he arrived late. Organisers, Wallace said, relied on the honor system."
www.theguardian.com/.../trump-tested-positive-covid-before-biden-debate-chief-staff-mark-meadows-book
@goaded According to Mark Meadows' book, which is where your claim originated, tests after the positive test were negative. It's in the link you provided! And , again, Trump wasn't required to take a test the night of the debate and also didn't refuse one, contrary to your claim.
Again, no. Meadows mentions precisely one test after the positive one, later on the same day, the 26th, and three days before the debate where, as Chris Hayes said, they were expected to get tested. Three days later Trump was in hospital.
@goaded Yes, there was another one given "shortly" after the positive test and it came back negative! What don't you get? You said Trump tested positive and put people's lives at risk, right? He also tested negative afterwards! Also, you said Trump refused a test the night of the debate? That is easily proven to not be the case. He didn't refuse anything! Seems to me they chose not to give him one. Whether it was because he showed up late or not isn't Trump's problem for their decision. It wasn't even a rule for the debate!
I should also say, Meadows said Trump had TWO tests after the positive test and both were negative.
Yeah, it turns out that a lot of America relies on people having a sense of honour. A trait totally lacking in Trump.
@goaded Okay? Now you wanna make it about Trump's "honor"? lol
That concept is a joke, yes.
@goaded At least you stopped trying to defend your nonsense.
What, that Trump had a positive test, then a negative test, then avoided any more tests before the debate? That's not nonsense, that's a fact.
@goaded You said he put people's lives at risk, you don't know that! You also didn't even realize he had TWO negative tests after the positive test. You also said he "refused" a test the night of the debate. That's actually just a lie. Opinion isn't fact.
Of course he did! He could have had a test a day, in fact I'd be surprised if he didn't before the positive one. Where did you see "he had TWO negative tests after the positive test"? Oh, right, another test the day after the debate, a day late and a dollar short. www.nbcnews.com/.../trump-denies-positive-covid-test-days-first-presidential-debate-n1285158
I was wrong, he tested positive again just 2 days after the debate (after that second negative), which indicates he was being tested daily except for the couple of days before the debate. Sound suss, to me.
@goaded You do realize this is all hearsay right? Mark Meadows said he tested positive on the 26th, that you believe! Mark Meadows also said he had two negative tests after the positive test, but that, you don't believe? Mark Meadows said that in a Newax interview. The rest of your post was incoherent.
NEWSMAX
Ah, the old "hearsay" defence. No, I believe Trump tested positive on the 26th, that a second test on the same day was negative, but I don't think it was reasonable to declare the second test to be the only correct one (a false negative is far more likely than a false positive), and not to test for the next two days until after the debate. Trump was clearly having daily tests before then, just like he did after the debate. One day was negative, the next was positive.
That's even assuming the tester gave a good swab on the two negative tests.
Yes, positive 26th, negative 26th, ... negative 30th, positive 1st.
It's the... that matters. He was clearly infected, suspected it, and avoided tests.
@goaded You don't know if he was "clearly infected", do you? Like I've been saying, you believe one positive test but not the two negative tests after. You also said he refused the test the night of the debate but that isn't true! Its funny, when we first started this interaction, you didn't even realize Trump had testing after the positive test that had negative results. Now you're claiming the people giving the President OF THE UNITED STATES COVID tests might not have known how to give them? You are entitled to you're opinion but pass it off as fact.
DON'T
He looked sick, tested positive once, negative once, and avoided taking any more tests for three or four days until after the debate, when he was probably taking one a day up to that point (he clearly took one a day after the debate, because he was supposedly negative on the 30th and positive on the 1st.
If you don't think that's suspicious, I do.
well obviously he refuses it. cause he's probably on cocain cause that's what it needs to get any activity out of this walking corpse.
i'm not making fun of the fact that he's a senile man struggeling with the challanges of old age. i'm making fun of the fact that he's pushed like a puppet by his goons to make it through another term when he clearly isn't up for the task anymore and should probably rather enjoy his final days close to his family and friends in peace away from the public eye to keep his dignity.
What is it with Trump and his ongoing fetish for drug testing debaters? Even in 2016 he demanded testing from Hillary Clinton! Is he so afraid of losing that he has to prepare an explanation for his cultists?
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/donald-trump-challenges-hillary-clinton-take-drug-test-final-debate-n666896
MMA fighters have to test for their entire run up to a fight, but presidential candidates don't. Half the jobs in this world require a drug test, but not the ol' presidential position. Elected officials should be held to the same standards as the peasants, at least.
That's interesting, if it's not fake news. Most companies today do random drug tests on their employees, and you always have to take a drug test when applying for a job. Since running for Presudent is applying for a job, a drug test should be mandatory.
Then again, think back to a top-five President... FDR. He lived on drugs for his continuous pain, yet that didn't affect his job as President.
The 4th grader, Trump, said "I will if you will". LOL Who gives a shit? Neither of these guys should be President but for entirely DIFFERENT sets of reasons. Those reasons have been enunciated countless times by both the cultists and the non-cultists. So let's skip passed the bullshit. Both of them are on Adderall and each of them have different declining mental acuity issues.
What they DO have in common is that NEITHER should be running, but if it ends up that way, there's a real difference in outcomes. Both continue to support Israeli genocide and allowing Netanfucku to buy Congress, but if Trump wins, the USA WILL BE GILEAD in 2 years. If Biden wins, that won't happen by a long shot. You should all read Project 2025 and be scared out your fucking minds, which explains why maga's aren't scared.
Even the former White House physician who was on staff for the Obama and Trump administration has called for Biden to take a drug test and a mental cognitive test. To me if you're not willing to do the test then you can't be president. It's like many places that you're trying to get a job at they say okay take a drug test if you say no then like well then you're not getting hired should be no different for the president
Captain Ronny Jackson (or is it Johnson)? Used to be an admiral, until he was busted being drunk and taking sleeping pills while on duty.
@goaded whatever the point is potato Head refuses to take a drug test and a cognitive test why is that because he's they're scared and they know the what the results will be and they don't want the American public to know. The good guys don't hide or back down from a reasonable challenge
Nobody takes a drug test for a debate. It's a ridiculous demand from a ridiculous liar.
Trump turned up to the 2020 debate (before vaccines) knowing he was infected with covid and avoided taking the test that had been agreed to. They should have simply delayed the debate until the tests were done and told the audience why.
@goaded well when you see Biden being like a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde a drug test is justified. On the State of the Union you can tell he was juiced up cuz he wasn't mumbling and mumbling and gaffing all the time... Very different from his normal day-to-day bumblings that we see the man is on something when it's important but I guess this debate they either use the wrong cocktail or it's losing its effectiveness cuz he was a mess and even many Democrats admit he lost that debate miserably cuz of how pathetic he looked
Or, at the debate he was drowsy because of cold medication.
@goaded no for those of us who see him on a daily basis that's his normal self with or without a cold some nice try with the lame excuse. The man is too freaking old he needs to step down he probably wants to but his son Hunter and his wife Jill like their prestigious positions and are not ready to give that up so they're willing to put their own personal interest ahead of what's best for Joe and the country
You don't "see him on a daily basis". At least he tells the truth.
@goaded are you kidding Mr plagiaris says nothing but a liar he even lied about his golf game said he got his handicapped down to six tiger woods is 6.5 so he's claiming to be a better golfer than tiger woods, he also lied to his teeth on the debate stage saying the border patrol endorsed him they quickly posted on x but that was a lie they do not endorse him and never will
Did anyone expect Biden to pee in a cup? Biden dictated the terms of the debate. No pee test was just another one of the terms.
Trump said anytime, anywhere and he showed up in enemy territory with no backup. He still cane out on top.
This Presidential Debate has turned America into the joke of the world. How could that be possible? Letting somebody who does not show any sign of mental and physical fitness run for presidency? This is ridiculous!! Biden's health conditions have deteriorated since the last election. I just rewatched the last presidential debate in 2020. He's gotten worse off ever since!! What's happening to him? And what's happening to America?
No. Not taking a drug test for a debate is normal. Risking other people's lives by not taking the agreed-to covid test because you know you're infected, like Trump did in 2020, is not.
We all know now that Covid was a scam. I know a lot of people who refused the vax and never got sick. Yet people who did take the vax are having all kinds of complications, and deaths too. So I think Trump was smart as the tests may not have been bona fide either.
A million Americans died!
And how many of those were from your normal flu? I never saw any statistics of those who did die of the flu, like they do every year. Every death was said to be from Covid.
Almost none, because people were washing their hands and wearing masks. You could save tens of thousands of lives every year by doing that regularly.
To be fair, if that was Biden on performance enhancing drugs then Clyde, the Orangutan from Any Which Way You Can would be a better candidate...
A simple spelling test would already do it
(where one of them will bigly ''win'' it (unless the trophy gets ''stolen'') )
After all - the whole thing is merely a show, and entertainment for the plebs.
Did you see his performance? If they had him juiced up on anything, it wasn't very effective and/or he has developed a tolerance for it.
The only time people refuse a drug test is when they are on drugs so something is up with him
I am wondering how long his heart will keep beating if he is getting juiced up for public appearances. Stuff isn’t good for an absent minded old person!
Well ya they have to make him eat adderall like candy so he can sound somewhat cognizant
Sure they just give him some of Hunter's methamphetamine
Honestly the U. S. Military has strict drug testing requirements since the 1980s. If I were still serving today I would refuse a drug test since my commander and chief has similarly refused a drug test. LEAD BY EXAMPLE!!!
Don’t think that was an issue…
If anything I’m wondering if he spent too long in oval before the debate and was hangry.
He didn’t need it he turned into sleepy Joe
