US President Donald Trump says he will call for a “drug test” for himself and Joe Biden before the first presidential debate, but does not offer any evidence for his suspicions about his Democratic opponent.
Trump says in an interview with the Washington Examiner that he was intrigued by Biden’s performance during the Democratic primary campaign.
The president has no concrete evidence to support his claims, but, he says, “all I can tell you is that I’m pretty good at this stuff.

“I watched him in the debates with all of the different people,” Trump says, referring to the other Democratic presidential hopefuls. Biden was “close to incompetent, if not incompetent, and against Bernie, he was normal,” Trump continues. “I say, ‘How does that happen?'”
