Trump explains why he wants Biden drug tested: ‘He is on some kind of enhancement’
Trump explains why he wants Biden drug tested: ‘He is on some kind of enhancement’
On Tuesday, Fox News personality Laura Ingraham aired the second part of her interview with President Donald Trump, in which they covered a broad range of topics. One of the more interesting parts of the interview was when she asked the president to explain why he recently called for drug tests prior to the presidential debates.
“I watched Biden in the previous debates and he was horrible,” said Trump. “I watched him in the Bernie debate and he was normal. He wasn't Winston Churchill but he was normal.”
Trump compared that debate to an earlier debate in the Democratic primaries in which Kamala Harris took Biden to task for his political track record.
When Ingraham asked Trump what drug he thinks Biden is taking, the president responded, “Well, he is on some kind of enhancement, in my opinion.”
While Trump believes Biden is taking some type of enhancement drug, moments later he claimed Biden lacks the mental faculties to be president.
Trump said, “Look, Joe Biden doesn't know he's alive but let's see how it all turns out.”
The Ingraham Angle airs weeknights at 10 p.m. on Fox News Channel.
See why President Trump compared the shooting of Jacob Blake to missing a putt in a golf tournament:
Trump lashes out after book mentions mysterious Walter Reed visit
Trump lashes out after book mentions mysterious Walter Reed visit
President Donald Trump lashed out on Tuesday over a New York Times reporter’s book that includes information about the president’s abrupt hospital visit late last year.
In his book “Donald Trump v. The United States,” Michael Schmidt writes that the White House wanted Vice President Mike Pence to be put on standby to temporarily assume the powers of the presidency during Trump’s unannounced visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in November, according to a copy of the book reviewed by the Times on Monday and by CNN on Tuesday.
Trump denied on Twitter that he ever went to Walter Reed due to problems with his health, and in the past has called the trip “a routine physical.”
“It never ends! Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes,” he tweeted on Tuesday. “Never happened to THIS candidate - FAKE NEWS. Perhaps they are referring to another candidate from another Party!”
Trump’s White House doctor, Sean Conley, released a statement later Tuesday addressing the president’s health. Conley said Trump “remains healthy” and that there are no concerns about his ability to maintain the responsibilities of the presidency.
“I can confirm that President Trump has not experienced nor been evaluated for a cerebrovascular accident (stroke), transient ischemic attack (mini stroke), or any acute cardiovascular emergencies, as have been incorrectly reported in the media,” the doctor’s statement read.
However, Trump and the White House are denying a health issue that was never reported by “the media” ― Schmidt said he did not include information about a series of mini-strokes, let alone any specific health issue as a reason for the Walter Reed visit.
The only mention of it was Aug. 1, when author Don Winslow tweeted claiming at least three people have told him the president suffered “a series of mini-strokes.” His post included a video from 2017 in which Trump appeared to be slurring his speech and mispronouncing words.
Trump’s Tuesday tweet did not mention Schmidt’s claim about Pence being prepared to temporarily take over the presidency. In his book, the reporter wrote that he learned “in the hours leading up to Trump’s trip to the hospital, word went out in the West Wing for the vice president to be on standby to take over the powers of the presidency temporarily if Trump had to undergo a procedure that would have required him to be anesthetized.” Schmidt did not specify the sources for his claims beyond saying “I learned.”
To this day, the White House has still not fully explained why Trump had an unscheduled, unannounced visit to Walter Reed in November. At the time of the visit, the White House claimed that Trump was getting a head start on his annual physical and that he would undergo the remainder of the exam this year. Unlike previous trips to Walter Reed, this visit was not published on the president’s public schedule. The president’s method of transportation to the hospital, as well as his attire, that day were also starkly different from his routine trips there.
The American public has gotten less transparency about Trump’s health than it has with other modern-day presidents. During his 2016 campaign, Trump refused to release details about his medical history ― something that previous candidates from both parties released. Instead, he released a short letter from his personal doctor that declared his health to be “astonishingly excellent.”
