CNN’s Lemon: Trump looked like a kid prescribed ‘too much Adderall’

CNN’s Don Lemon compared President Trump to “watching a kid whose doctor had prescribed him too much Adderall,” saying he appeared to be “hopped up” during Tuesday night’s raucous presidential debate.

“I felt like I was watching a kid whose doctor had prescribed him too much Adderall,” Lemon said on Wednesday morning to anchor Chris Cuomo while making a sniffing sound, before later adding, “That’s how I feel because he was overly aggressive. It’s like he was hopped up on, I don’t know what was going on.”

“I wish I could see it that way, because I think a lot of people share your observation,” Cuomo added. “This is the only guy I know.”

Leading up to the first presidential debate, Trump had called on Democratic nominee Joe Biden to take a drug test.

“I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night,” Trump wrote to his more than 86 million followers on social media. “Naturally, I will agree to take one also. His Debate performances have been record setting UNEVEN, to put it mildly. Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy???”

“Vice President Biden intends to deliver his debate answers in words. If the president thinks his best case is made in urine he can have at it,” Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield responded after the Trump tweet. “We’d expect nothing less from Donald Trump, who pissed away the chance to protect the lives of 200K Americans when he didn’t make a plan to stop COVID-19.”

The next presidential debate will be Oct. 15 in Miami.
