“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”

Says the guy who allegedly held coke parties at the Plaza while he was hooking up with underaged teenage girls, hung out with a known human trafficker, paid hush money to multiple women to hide how much of a predator he is, and has been found guilty of raping at least one of them.

Let's drug test them both.

In fact, I have a better idea. The debate is headed by Snoop Dogg. Both of them have to get high with him and answer his questions.

I think Biden demand Trump submit dna for comparison to cold case rape kits.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

I second that idea. 'Once while sober and once while drunk' and all that.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Trump currently mumbles word salad at his rallies, because he doesn't need drugs to sound like his brain is failing.

[–] [email protected] 125 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This was a pretty predictable comment, given that (1) Trump himself has long been alleged to snort Adderall and take other stimulants, and (2) Trump always, without fail, accuses his enemies of exactly what he is already doing.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The day Trump accuses Biden of sleeping with Ivanka is gonna be wild.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That'll never happen, because Trump's not actually doing it.

Edit: Wait, I misread and thought you were talking about Melania.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

The edit really made this comment amazing.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So trump was definitely high as a kite during his state of the union.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

That's just his baseline projection. Drumft is high all the time.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Trump needs to submit one first. Taken by an impartial authority. Throw in a proper cognitive test.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Send him to some random drug test place like they do for a job interview. Those nurses won't take shit from anyone. "Oh you accidentally flushed the toilet after peeing in the cup, guess you're coming back tomorrow."

Is this a thing in America?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Yes, it really is.

The funny thing is it was the Trump WH medical staff that was found to be illegally distributing drugs to staffers. Not saying definitively that Trump was partaking, but ...

Trump White House pharmacy improperly provided drugs and misused funds, Pentagon report says

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

The drug scheduling rules that the Trump White House pharmacy was following were inspired by "It's every day, bro" by Jake Paul.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

This one I’m not so scandalized about. I’m sure every White House admin does this - they have hard and punishing international work where they need to be sharp. Ronnie Jackson was there during Obama too.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To think that this pathetic sack of shit is the best the Republicans could come up with, for 3 consecutive elections, blows my mind.

[–] Chef 19 points 3 months ago

Everyone on earth with something to gain knows he’s an easily manipulated useful idiot. He’s the greatest thing to happen for the corrupt since lobbying became legal.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 months ago

Projection, projection, always projection.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 months ago

Welp...I guess we're safe to presume Trump is loaded on drugz...the z makes it different and ok.....

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lol, more projection. Let's have them both take one together and see who fails. I'll bet there's one that would go into an incoherent rant and blame someone for something and not take the test. Sound about right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

"Fake news! The test is fake news! It was all a conspiracy by the Democrats, the worst conspiracy I have ever saw!"

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago

So, Trump was high.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The same Trump that just forgot who & where he was at his rally a couple hours ago?

Sure, Jan.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Cult leaders don't need to be smart to be popular.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Biden should demand an anal cavity search for trump. Who knows what manner of Russian recording device he has stuffed in there.

Weak willed dementia patient trump trying to concoct a reason to back out. Of course he can't come up with anything new because that part of his brain is mush.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Of course he can’t come up with anything new because ~~that part of~~ his brain is mush.

Fixed that for you.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Proof that Trump actually is the Adderall addict he's rumored to be.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

trump sounds like a bitch

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why doesn't Biden just shoot this fuck? I thought presidents can't be charged for crimes they commit while in office.

Trump:

“Sniff”

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Only if Trump does too.

[–] Corkyskog 12 points 3 months ago

Just another lame attempt to get out of the debate.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago
[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

That's fine tiny hands. Let's try the tissue paper test on that face of yours... How much shit can I swab off that Macco ass paint job of a spray tan.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Trump should get a brain scan 🪱

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

On what? Blood pressure medication?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

They should give them surprise ones right before they go on then live announce the results

"I will if you take a dementia test..."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I have no doubt the debates with be the Manhattan project of methamphetamines
