As the debate between the two candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, in the US presidential election in November approaches, the former demanded that the latter take a doping test.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday demanded that his Democratic opponent in the White House race, Joe Biden, take a doping test before or after their first televised debate on Tuesday.

"His performances during the debates were UNIQUE as ever, to put it nicely. Only drugs could have caused these discrepancies ???", tweeted the Republican billionaire who is late in the polls for the presidential election of November 3.

Donald Trump said he would agree "of course" to submit to the same test.

I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night.

Naturally, I will agree to take one also.

His Debate performances have been record setting UNEVEN, to put it mildly.

Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy ???
