71 years old and 13 diet cokes a day. That's a lot of caffeine.

All that caffeine could explain why he gets only four or five hours of sleep a night. Could also explain all that energy Dr. Jackson talked about.

1. Aspartame has recently been linked to Dementia and Stroke

It would be just awful if this asshole died from a stroke.

2. Trump is said to be a long time user of "diet pills" which are amphetamines.

I think this might explain his inability to sleep, hyperactivity and paranoia.
Then on top of that he uses Ambien which causes black outs which might
explain some of his memory problems and psychotic like behavior.

Long term amphetamine use causes serious problems.

3. Diet Coke is taking too long. We need the Congress to do its duty -- now.

[Irish_Dem]

6. The GOP has shown no inclination to do its job.

On any level.

The have a duty to serve and protect the American people and I have seen no evidence that they take this job seriously.

9. I took Ambien for awhile

Took Ambien until the morning I woke up, checked my e-mail and discovered I had bought the $68 ugly green glass frog on e-bay.

4. I imagine its also a lot of trips to the bathroom

5. No toxicological tests were done, were they?

Plus he takes Propecia

8. No drug screens for politicians. Who have more say over life and death

than other occupations which require regular drug screens.

10. What is Propecia?

[L. Coyote]

11. Hair drug for baldness prevention.

7. Caffeine Also Increases Blood Pressure.....

That's another reason I don't believe Trump's BP readings. With all the diet coke he drinks - it should be well above normal and Trump's BP of 122/77 is very close to the optimum of 120/80.

[woodsprite]

13. 120/80 isn't considered the optimum anymore by most drs. That would be considered borderline. n/t
