Trump has upped his allegations against Biden that he was on drugs. Although he has not offered any evidence, Trump has argued that Biden's performance in his public interactions had improved and this was not possible without help of drugs.
Biden has already rubbished Trump's claims. However, this has not deterred Donald Trump from repeating the charge.
