Trump accuses Clinton of being on drugs during debate

Republican nominee Donald Trump has accused his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton of being ‘pumped up’ on performance enhancing drugs during the Presidential Debate and has challenged her to a drug test.

Trump also accused “corrupt” media of seeking to rig November’s vote in Clinton’s favour, by reporting snowballing claims of his sexual misconduct.

The businessman turned politician also theories about Clinton’s health, seizing on her bout of pneumonia last month to suggest she is concealing a major health problem, and is unfit for office and in attack

Trump suggested she had taken drugs ahead their last debate, and called for her to be tested ahead of their final duel Wednesday in Las Vegas.

“I don’t know what is going on with her,” the 70-year-old told a rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. “At the beginning of her last debate, she was all pumped up at the beginning. At the end, it was like, ‘Take me down,’ she could barely reach her car.”

“Athletes, they make them take a drug test. I think we should take a drug test prior to the debate. Why don’t we do that?” Trump said.
