I remember after Trump's bout with COVID, he was in the news about how good he felt. That the doctors had him on something that began with dextro metha something. I thought to myself I bet he is feeling good he's higher than 40 dollars right then. Any speed freak would buy some of that s... But when you have some of them best doctors around tending to you anything is possible I rectum

@redredred That's deflection from Trump, who actually wears a diaper.

@Poppies He's probably like my dad. He won't do street drugs, like cocaine or heroin, but if a doctor prescribes it, he figures it's okay.

@JollyRoger when you realize that 90% of the media is controlled by 6 conglomerates...and they control the mainstream narrative...then you'll understand that the ability to read takes a back seat to critical thinking.

@BizSuitStacy Nice come-back! Those 6 conglomerates.... are they all in the USA? I presume that's what you mean. However, look around the world at how other countries are 'hedging' against the possibility that Trump will become president again. If the (boldly stated here) 'rest of the civilized world' who interacts with the USA is fearful of Trumps erratic behavior, then that says volumes about intelligence trust and alliances and war and immigration and.... everything that Trump can manipulate because of the power his position gives him. It would be much less of a worry IF he would take advice from the good people who study situations and do tell him - but whom he ignores!

What report are you referring to?? Or: is this something you just made up?

@akindheart Yes, that was cocaine.

Here is one doctor's opinion:
[quote]Several lines of cocaine, I mean investigation, lead to Mr. Trump’s purported history with stimulants. Reports going back decades assert that doctors prescribed Mr. Trump phentermine. The FDA approved the stimulant medication phentermine for weight-control, but physicians also prescribe it off-label to treat ADHD. Phentermine prescriptions receive less government scrutiny than more tightly controlled stimulants like Ritalin or Adderall. During the presidential campaign two years ago, pundits extensively discussed Mr. Trump’s sniffing, grimacing and hyperactivity, and whether these behaviors indicated a habit of snorting cocaine or other stimulants. Months ago, individuals who worked on the reality show The Apprentice claimed that Mr. Trump routinely snorted Adderall while on the set. The issue achieved greater prominence following Mr. Trump’s recent Presidential Address, with a flurry on Twitter noting that his frequent sniffing and visibly dilated pupils might both indicate ongoing Adderall snorting.
. . .
The following constitute an outline of the compelling case for Mr. Trump’s ADHD: He displayed symptoms of ADHD in childhood. Observable behaviors recorded on video suffice for fulfilling the current formal definition of ADHD; we do not need knowledge of his emotional state, motivations, or internal thoughts to diagnose this condition. He pervasively continues to display a broad array of ADHD symptoms. No other disorder comprehensively explains all of these behaviors. The presence of ADHD does not indicate the absence of other mental health problem; actually other mental health issues commonly co-occur with ADHD. He displays many aberrant behaviors unattributable to ADHD. Furthermore, other people with ADHD only resemble Mr. Trump in their shared ADHD traits, we should not stigmatize them with Mr. Trump’s particularly virulent lie-about-the-border, abuse-a-reporter, Adderall-snorter, generalized-disorder form of ADHD.
. . .
I hope to have converted snorts of derision about Mr. Trump’s purported stimulant use to snorts of enlightenment. Stimulant medications help many adults with ADHD improve their focus on, and engagement with, their worlds. Those who seem most “over-stimulated” to begin with (but are actually under-stimulated) are often the patients who respond most powerfully to ADHD medications. It is not surprising that people have a hard time wrapping their head around medications that produce hyperactivity, rapid and disjointed speech and impulsive behavior in some people and alleviate it in others. Yet Mr. Trump, his immediate circle, and the whole country will benefit from effective treatment for his ADHD. Rather than riffing on his sniffing, maybe we should be supporting his snorting.[/quote]

If you were working in the Trump White House, you would need to be on drugs too, just to be able to live with yourself.

and in all white houses. This is not news.

@MasterLee I can envision that! Those people are always on the run for long hours. I wonder what their reward is. I do volunteer work in my community, but I pace myself.
