President Trump on Tuesday said he “sort of” prepares every day for the upcoming general election debates with Joe Biden, while once again suggesting his Democratic rival should take a drug test ahead of the events to see whether or not he is “taking something that gives him some clarity.”
The president, during a wide-ranging interview with “Fox & Friends” Tuesday morning, was asked about the upcoming presidential debates. The first is slated to take place in Cleveland, Ohio on Sept. 29, and will be moderated by Fox News’ Chris Wallace.
“I sort of prepare every day, by just doing what I’m doing,” the president said, listing his travel for the week, noting he is crisscrossing the country form California to Texas, to Louisiana and Florida. “I’ve been all over the place, and I watch this guy sitting home, and I think, maybe I’m doing it wrong.” The president was referring to former Vice President Joe Biden, who he said “is always in Wilmington, Delaware” and stays in his basement.
“I don’t know which Biden is going to show up because I watched him during the debates, when they had 20 people on the stage … and I watched him and he was a disaster,” Trump said, referring to the Democratic primary debates. “You don’t get worse. He was grossly incompetent.”
