The fact that Donald Trump has agreed to Joe Biden's demands for timed microphones, no live audience, and only pro-Biden media and moderators is stirring up controversy ahead of their next debate. But now that he's made a demand of his own, Trump is drawing notice.
Trump Makes a Very Interesting Demand of Biden Before First Debatehttps://t.co/bMW706E9Fr

During the Lincoln Reagan Dinner hosted by the Minnesota Republican Party, Trump declared that he would like Biden to submit to a drug test prior to the debate. Biden's performance at the State of the Union raised issues for Trump, who said that it seemed like he was under the influence of narcotics.
In addition, some analysts have questioned Biden's State of the Union speech, highlighting his oddly loud and fast speech in comparison to his typical style. A forensic psychiatrist named Dr. Carole Lieberman made a suggestion that stimulants like Adderall, which can sharpen focus but have drawbacks, might have had an impact on Biden's actions during the speech.
Biden's past verbal mishaps and cognitive errors have raised doubts about his suitability for the duties of the president. Despite public skepticism, Democrats have hailed Biden's performance at the State of the Union as proof of his competence.
Concerns about transparency may arise from Trump's request for a drug test, but given the importance of the impending discussion, it makes sense that he would want guarantees of an even playing field. It is unclear if the Biden team will accede to this request, but it gives the run-up to the discussion a fascinating new angle.
