Trump Backs Ex-White House Doc’s Demand Biden Take a Drug Test Before Debate
Donald Trump is throwing his considerable weight behind his former physician’s demand that Joe Biden submit to a drug test immediately before and after Thursday’s presidential debate, endorsing the doctor’s baseless claim that the incumbent is operating on “performance-enhancing drugs.”
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who served as White House physician between 2013 and 2018, treating both Trump and Barack Obama, announced his intention to send a letter requesting Biden take the tests in a Sunday interview on Fox News.
“Because we see—we have seen recently in his State of the Union address—that there was a Joe Biden that came out that was not similar at all to what we see on a day-to-day basis for the last 3.5 years,” Jackson added.
