Former US President Donald Trump has raised eyebrows with his latest comments about President Joe Biden's appearance during their recent debate. In a statement that has drawn widespread criticism, Trump suggested Biden's noticeable tan and energetic performance were evidence of drug use.
Trump's Controversial Claims
Speaking to supporters, the Republican leader made the extraordinary allegation that his Democratic rival must have been using performance-enhancing substances. "He was all jacked up," Trump claimed, adding "I think he might have been using something."
The Tan Remark That Caused Outrage
Perhaps most bizarrely, Trump focused on Biden's complexion, stating: "Look at that tan - that's not his natural colour." The remarks have been widely condemned as inappropriate and unfounded by political commentators across the spectrum.
Medical Experts Weigh In
Healthcare professionals have dismissed Trump's suggestions as medically unfounded. "There's no substance to these claims," said Dr. Sarah Wilkinson, a London-based physician. "Energy levels can be affected by countless factors, and suggesting drug use without evidence is irresponsible."
Political Fallout
The comments have added fuel to an already heated election campaign. Biden's team has yet to respond directly, but Democratic strategists have called the remarks "desperate" and "beneath the office of the presidency."
Political analysts suggest this latest controversy may further polarise voters in what is already one of the most divisive election campaigns in recent memory.
