    Is there any evidence Trump is on Adderall? Other than his erratic, occasionally manic behavior, which could be a sign of any upper.

    I always figured he was abusing pseudoephedrine, since he had a drawer full of it in his first term.

    I could also imagine him doing a kind of “Dr. Feelgood” mix of drugs just like Reagan and Hitler. He is following in their footsteps. This idea seems unlikely though, Trump appears to be somewhat of an honest teetotaler due to his family history of drug abuse and early death.

        Totally agree that we can’t take Trump at his word, but the man has been on camera for decades and there is no footage of him drunk. I don’t believe that Trump has the self-control to hide a drinking habit.

        Also I believe Trump’s #1 motivator is narcissism. He may not have cared that his brother died, but he did see himself in his brother. He saw the devastating results of lifelong alcohol abuse and committed himself to avoiding it.

          Yeah i can see that. I forgot teetotaler meant non-alcohol, not just full on sober. trump definitely does prescription drugs

    • My understanding is that he’s hooked on ephedrine. Seriously, the guy is like the essence of the entire 80s, frozen in amber for all eternity. Can’t even abuse stimulants right.

      Guaranteed, Trump has a Members Only jacket in his closet.

    What the fuck must this meal be like? I can only assume they turned to eat the meal in horrifying, awkward silence.
