JAKARTA - The nephew of the President of the United States (US) Donald Trump, Mary Trump, said his uncle was increasingly desperate to win the US election. The reason is, Trump has accused his rival Joe Biden of using drugs to increase electability before the presidential candidate debate.

"The allegation of drug use is a form of Donald's desperation," Mary Trump told CNN Monday, September 14. Previously, President Trump accused Biden of taking illegal drugs in his past. He made the accusation when interviewed by Fox News host Jeanine Pirro.

"There may be, maybe drugs. That's what I heard," President Trump told Pirro.

In addition, Mary Trump said President Trump accused Biden of mental instability because Trump was previously accused of the same thing by the public. But Trump defended himself by admitting he scored well on cognitive tests. "He projects almost anything," said Mary Trump.

Mary said Trump's current attitudes were partly a result of his parents' past care. "Donald is a person who is psychologically badly damaged, based on his upbringing and the situation with his parents," said Mary.

One of the things that Mary was questioning was about her uncle's attitude who reduced the danger of COVID-19. He said the president's response to the pandemic needed to be condemned.

Trump's allegations

On the evening of Saturday July 12, Fox News broadcast an interview in which Trump without evidence accused Joe Biden of drug use. Trump believes that drug use is so that Biden is able to get through the debate.

"That's what I heard. I mean, there might be drugs. I don't know how you could go from being so bad you can't even get a sentence ..." Trump said.

Trump didn't finish his own sentence, but he went on to say he was referring to Biden's hesitant appearance in the early primary debate.

"You see some arguments with a lot of people on stage," Trump said. "I mean, he used to say, 'How could he possibly get ahead?'"

Trump's allegations against Biden come shortly after his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., denied claims he used cocaine before speaking at a Republican convention. Nor is it the first time Trump has accused Biden of using drugs.

Trump and Biden will face presidential debates in Cleveland on September 29, in Miami on October 15, and in Nashville on October 22. Meanwhile, vice presidential candidates Mike Pence and Kamala Harris will debate in Salt Lake City on October 7.
