Donald Trump tells supporters Joe Biden will do cocaine before TV debate

The Republican candidate for US President has made his most outlandish claim yet about President Joe Biden. Watch video.

Donald Trump has made his most outlandish speech yet claiming Joe Biden was going to take cocaine to get “pumped up” for next week’s televised presidential debate.

The former US president was addressing supporters at a rally in Wisconsin when his speech took a bizarre turn.

“He’s gonna be so pumped up, he’s gonna be so pumped up,” Mr Trump said, referring to Mr Biden.

“You know all that stuff that was missing about a month ago from the White House? What happened?”.

Mr Trump continued: “Somebody didn’t pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine.

“I wonder who that could’ve been. I don’t know. Actually, I think it was Joe.”

He appeared to be referring to the discovery of cocaine at the White House last year.

The Secret Service executed an investigation into the matter without arresting a suspect.

Mr Trump’s savage remarks come after Mr Biden’s son, Hunter, was convicted on charges of lying about his drug addiction while buying a handgun.

In the historic first criminal prosecution of a sitting US president’s child, a jury last week found Hunter guilty on three felony counts stemming from his 2018 purchase of a handgun while addicted to crack cocaine.

The businessman turned reality star turned politician has upped his attacks on the president as he continues his campaign to return to the White House.

In a campaign speech in Detroit on Saturday, he took shots at Mr Biden’s mental capacity and proclaimed he had taken a cognitive assessment test – but then incorrectly recalled the name of the doctor who conducted it.

“Doc Ronny Johnson,” said Mr Trump, who turned 78 last Friday.
“Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas?” Mr Trump continued.

“He said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history, so I liked him very much.”

The doctor was in fact Ronny Jackson.

Mr Trump also told his supporters that the president had been lost while at the G7 in Italy, turning “to look at trees,” while other world leaders were looking at a parachutist who’d just landed in an aerial display.

The moment Mr Trump referred to is based on a video that has gone viral in right-wing media and Republican circles.

However, the video is misleading because it has been edited, leaving out footage that shows Mr Biden turning away from the other G7 leaders to gesture to a different skydiver who had just landed out of frame.
