Trump says Hillary Clinton is getting "pumped up" for the debate then says they should have to take a "drug test" before the debate.
Uh ... whut?
Yes, just call me dumb. Messed up big time.
Hillary’s always saying how strong she is....the post shows otherwise.....
Classic Twitter anti-Trump remark:
“Or ask him to fill in the US map or name the presidents. He couldn’t do either to save Ivanka’s life.”
Why is Ivanka relevant? Mr. Trump is married to Melania.
Oh — I see. LOL.
The trouble is some operate on the assumption: ‘Fake *but* accurate’.
Most of the media when caught in a lie resort to ‘fake but accurate’. I first noticed it with Dan Rather, but I’m sure it’s been going on forever.
Exactly. What is the probability that the different Secret Service details share information between themselves and somehow that information gets inadvertently overheard by the Trump campaign?
Trump likes his junk food. Nothing but healthy McDonalds until the debate for him!
Well, perhaps not healthy, but McDonalds!
She has Parkinson’s. She will be on her meds.
Trump is the only Republican in my life time (70+) who knows what to say to the Dims and the media to get them on the defensive.
I’m loving this!
Have members of the United States Marines administer and supervise the blood draw and hair samples. Get enough to send to three separate independent labs.
Have each candidate’s sample overseen by representatives of both campaigns as well as the US Marines, Secret Service and the One America News Network.
Like this would ever happen...

I thought her Levodopa levels were crashing at the end of the last debate. There should be drug testing.
Done properly witness this could out her catheter and end the ‘small hands’ nonsense.
I’ve got to disagree. It does an excellent job of planting in people’s minds the idea that she’s in horrible health and that her people are finding ways of making her appear healthier than she is. It doesn’t matter at all whether or not she’d ever agree to a drug test.
The point is that he’s getting people (even I would bet, many of her supporters) consciously or subconsciously to doubt anything that looks like energy, fight, or drive on her part, especially during the debates (not just the upcoming one but the previous ones too)—and he did it in a very entertaining way. (Humor often helps people accept ideas without fighting back against them in the way they would against serious arguments.)
Trump’s been using a lot of great persuation methods since he announced his run, but ones that not everyone recognizes, so they underestimate the effectiveness of what he does. I think it was a clever move on the very relevant topic of her health (the best sort of “fighting back” since it’s fun rather than vicious, but serves a substantial purpose too)—and I do love to see the press propagandists freaking out over nothing.
I watched Trump’s comments today in New Hampshire. He talked about Hillary in his usual free form and I did not include all of the nuance words, but what I repeat is accurate. Mr. Trump said:
“Right now she’s in debate prep. I don’t know, this is Saturday; that’s going to be Wednesday. She’s supposed to know this stuff. You know she’s supposed to be so experienced. What are you going to learn in five days. If you’re going to study that much . . . You know, I actually think she is getting pumped up for Wednesday night. You know—I don’t know—maybe . . . we’re like athletes. Athletes—they make them take a drug test. I think we should take a drug test before the debate. Because I don’t know what’s going on with her! But at the beginning of the last debate, she was all pumped up at the beginning and at the end, it was huh! Take me down! She could barely reach her car. So, I think we should take a drug test. I am willing to do it.”
After that last sentence, Mr. Trump jumped on the Build the Wall theme. He even said the words, “There’s about twelve forms they can do it. They will pick the one that looks the best. They will pay for the wall.
Cheers!
Thank you, President Trump.
President Trump sounds so much more appealing than President Bitch-Face.
