Jon Stewart hosted “The Daily Show” live after Thursday night’s debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, and said the two candidates each had a test to pass.
And they both failed, with Trump unable to “pretend to be normal for 90 minutes” and Biden raising new questions about his age.
Prior to the debate, Trump and his allies accused Biden of taking drugs to enhance his brain and give the president an edge during the debate.
Stewart had a better idea.
“Both of these men should be using performance-enhancing drugs ... as much of it as they can get, as many times a day as their bodies will allow,” he said. “If performance-enhancing drugs will improve their lucidity, their ability to solve problems ― and, in one of the candidates’ cases, improve their truthfulness, morality and malignant narcissism ― then suppository away.”

And if they can’t take drugs, Stewart said he’d like to use them instead.
“If those drugs don’t exist, if there aren’t actually performance-enhancing drugs for these candidates, I could sure fucking use some recreational ones right now,” he said. “Because this cannot be real life. It just can’t. Fuck!”
