US President Donald Trump has called for himself and his Democratic Presidential rival, Joe Biden, to submit drug tests before their first debate next month. On Wednesday, President told a local media outlet that he had noticed a sudden improvement in Biden’s performance in TV debates.
However, Trump offered no evidence that his rival might be on drugs but rather said, “I’m very good at this stuff”. Before the November 3 polls, President and Joe Biden will have three debates.

This is not the first time that Republican President has made such remarks about his rival candidate. In 2016, ahead of the polls, he accused his then-rival, Hillary Clinton, that she had been getting “pumped up” before the debates and challenged her to take drug tests ahead of their final debate encounter on TV.
On Wednesday, President Trump made a similar comment against Joe Biden, arguing that his debating skills have dramatically improved in the final debate. Meanwhile, he is also expected to give his acceptance speech on the final day of the Republican national convention being held in the White House, despite the criticism from political experts and critics.
Trump added that the former vice-president was not even coherent during their Democratic primary debates. On March 15, at the time of the final primary debate, the field had been whittled down to just Vermont senator Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden.
President Trump said that he is shocked that Biden has been so incompetent in debates “be ok with Bernie” at the final debate. The three presidential debates will take place in Cleveland on September 29, in Nashville, on October 15, and tense on October 22.
Meanwhile, Trump also asked for additional debates to be scheduled with his Biden, however, the Commission on Presidential Debates declined the request. Both the rivals have traded, gives that the other is suffering from dementia. Biden’s campaign is yet to respond to the comments made by President Trump.
