Trump Campaign Turns Down Biden Request for Debate Breaks: ‘Our Guy Doesn’t Need Breaks’

President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has reportedly turned down Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s request for breaks during the primary presidential debate Tuesday night.

Biden’s campaign had asked for a pair of breaks, one every half-hour , during the 90-minute commercial-free program over the previous couple of weeks, but the Trump campaign has denied the request, consistent with Fox News.

“Our guy doesn’t need breaks,” a Trump campaign source told Fox.

“He gives 90-minute speeches all the time.”

The source added that there’s an ongoing negotiation for Tuesday night’s debate and therefore the upcoming two debates between Biden and Trump.

Trump’s campaign has reportedly asked for a 3rd party to examine each debater’s ears for electronic devices or transmitters before the beginning of the talk .

New York Post reporter Ebony Bowden tweeted Tuesday that Biden had agreed to the inspection several days ago, but has since backtracked and said he would refuse.

Over the weekend, Trump also involved Biden to be drug tested before or after the talk .

“I are going to be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden before , or after, the talk on Tuesday night. Naturally, i will be able to comply with take one also,” Trump tweeted.

“His Debate performances are record setting UNEVEN, to place it mildly. Only drugs could have caused this discrepancy???”

During an August interview, Trump talked of getting Biden drug tested due to the vastly different performances the previous vice chairman placed on during spring debates, arguing that Biden was uncharacteristically on point in his final debate with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

“It wasn’t that he was Churchill , because he wasn’t,” Trump told the Washington Examiner’s Byron York. “But it had been a traditional , boring debate.

“I don’t skills he could are so incompetent in his debate performances then , all of a sudden, be OK against Bernie.

“My point is, if you return and watch a number of those numerous debates, he was so bad. He wasn’t even coherent. And against Bernie, he was. And we’re calling for a drug test.”

Some say Biden simply goes hot and cold.

“He’s an uneven debate performer,” Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, former acting chair of the Democratic National Committee, told The Washington Post.

“When you think that ‘Joe Biden,’ you don’t think, ‘Well, you know, he’s the king of the kings.’”

Fox News reached bent the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates for a response to the campaigns’ requests.

The first debate between Biden and Trump will start at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday and can be moderated by “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace.

Meek Mill Draws Mixed Reactions With Drill Take on Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong”

Meek Mill has released a couple of songs that leaked online recently, giving fans a proper way to hear the tracks after they popped up over the weekend. “Philly Heathens” has been praised for its attention to street culture and youth affected by violence, but his other new album, “Am I Wrong,” has received a much more divided response.

“Philly Heathens” has been praised for its lyrics about street culture and the young people who get caught up in violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, takes a vastly different approach, remixing the song of the same name by Nico & Vinz as a drill centric interpolation.

“Am I Wrong” is now 12 years old, and its connection to the EDM sound of the time makes it especially recognizable to those who grew up with it. So Meek’s take is built on a familiar musical reference, but the response has been far from universally complimentary. A lot of the criticism has been directed at the hook. The production has also been called dated, but the track was leaked, which may explain its sound. But the strongest reactions have focused on Meek’s chorus vocals.

Some of the responses have been good, though. Some listeners felt the track was a throwback to the blog era, while others thought the criticism targeted almost entirely the hook, not the song as a whole. One Reddit commenter wrote that the track was good, but the chorus was bad, suggesting that Meek’s performance on the rest of the song was better than the reception to the hook may suggest.

The different reactions demonstrate the contrast between Meek’s two new leaks. “Philly Heathens” has resonated with audiences for its subject matter, while “Am I Wrong” has sparked discussion due to its interpolation and vocal approach.

Both songs are now officially available on YouTube so that fans can decide for themselves. The response to “Am I Wrong” shows how difficult it is to reinterpret a well known song, especially when a recognizable hook becomes the centerpiece of the new version

Drake Joins Karol G in Houston for First Live Performance of “Ahi”

Drake made a surprise appearance in Houston this weekend, joining Karol G on stage for the first-ever live performance of their collaboration, “Ahi.”
The surprise appearance took place during Karol G’s show in Houston, where Drake jumped out from the bottom of the stage to perform the song with her. “Ahi” is the latest from Karol G’s project No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, and the Houston show marked the first time the pair had performed the collaboration together on stage.

Drake made his entrance to a loud reception from the crowd. The rapper popped out from under the stage, bowed to Karol G, hugged her, and launched into their collaboration. With “Ahi,” the performance was not over. Drake stayed on stage and carried on with the set, performing “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” and giving the Houston crowd a long set from the Canadian rapper.

The collaboration also sparked speculation about Drake’s upcoming music. A rumor started that Karol G was one of the collaborators on the project, along with Molly Santana and Future, days before ICEMAN is expected to drop. Future and Molly Santana were among the names on the rumored list, and Future ended up on “Run To Atlanta.”

The project also featured a couple of unreleased songs, including new material with Yeat and new unreleased music with Don Toliver.
