Trump Alleges Biden High on Drugs: ‘Higher Than a Kite’ during State of the Union

Former President Donald Trump launched a scathing critique against current President Joe Biden, denouncing Biden’s recent State of the Union address as “the worst address I’ve ever seen.” Speaking in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, Trump resurrected reports of cocaine allegedly discovered in the White House in July of the previous year.

In the interview, Trump insinuated that Biden appeared to be under the influence of drugs during his State of the Union speech, using phrases like “all jacked up” and “higher than a kite” to describe Biden’s demeanor. Despite lacking evidence, Trump speculated about the possibility of drug use, suggesting that the substance found in the White House might be connected to Biden.

Furthermore, Trump asserted that Biden’s apparent struggles, including appearing drowsy or disoriented at times, indicated possible external assistance. Trump’s comments culminated in a demand for Biden to undergo a drug test before any future debates between the two, asserting, “I want a drug test.”

However, it’s important to note that there is no concrete evidence to support Trump’s allegations against Biden. Despite speculation from Republicans and critics regarding Biden’s energy levels during the State of the Union, there is no proof of any substance abuse.

Regarding the reported discovery of a white, powdery substance in the White House, which was determined to be cocaine, investigations were inconclusive. The absence of conclusive evidence led to the closure of the Secret Service’s inquiry into the matter.

In response to Trump’s call for a debate and drug testing, Biden emphasized that any potential debates with Trump would depend on Trump’s behavior. This response came after Trump’s challenge for debates “anytime, anywhere, anyplace,” following their previous debates during the 2020 presidential campaign.

It’s worth noting that Trump himself has faced allegations of drug use in the past, particularly after incidents during the 2016 presidential debates where he was observed sniffing repeatedly. However, these allegations were speculative and lacked substantial evidence.

In conclusion, Trump’s recent remarks regarding Biden’s alleged drug use lack concrete evidence and appear to be politically motivated. Despite Trump’s attempts to cast doubt on Biden’s credibility, the claims remain unsubstantiated.
