At 4 am, Fox News ran segments about Alec Baldwin and trade-wars. Trump tweeted about them an hour later.

26. Trump's behavior during the debates

was classic uppers / coke traits. I thought he was going to jump out of his skin a few times - all the fidgeting and lip licking gave him away. T has long been an uppers addict and as the article says, it has gotten to his brain from over use. Yes, no doubt, Trump is a meth head.

[Grammy23]

37. I agree that it is probably not speed. At least not any more.

Speed was what kept people slim and trim back in the day. But tRump is anything BUT slim and trim. I think he may be exhibiting side effects from another drug. Or it could be a psychological problem driving his nutty behavior. But one thing for sure. This guy ain’t right.

[dewsgirl]

40. I read probably like a year ago he takes/has taken the diet drug Adipex, generic name Phentremine.

It's half of what was in the diet drug Fen Phen , it was pulled off the market. I'm not sure if it's an amphetamine or amphetamine like.
I realize he's gained like a hundred pounds since becoming president, depending on how and what you eat it is possible to gain weight taking these type of meds. I have seen it personally.

[Weed Man]

43. Yes he is

Diet pills are cheap speed

[left-of-center2012]

30. "Amphetamine addicts don't ..."

... have a fat ass like tRump."

5. Two more words.....he's nuts..................

[Docreed2003]

42. Lmao...exactly.

[duforsure]

13. Meth will do that to people

[BigmanPigman]

17. He stopped taking that by the 90s (he claims).

"The medical records and interviews with former officials with the Trump Organization reveal that Greenberg gave Trump a prescription for amphetamine derivatives in 1982 to treat his metabolic problem; the records show that Trump continued taking the drugs for a number of years and the former officials said that Trump stopped using them in 1990 at the latest. The derivatives were diethylpropion, known under its brand name as tenuate dospan. These drugs are designed for short-term use; studies have concluded that patients can avoid developing..."

[Volaris]

19. What metabolic problem might that have been?

[tblue37]

21. He's fat. nt

[BigmanPigman]

22. This is how the article explains it.

"According to medical records obtained by Newsweek, Trump was diagnosed with a “metabolic imbalance” in 1982 by Dr. Joseph Greenberg, a Manhattan endocrinologist. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know the full meaning of Greenberg’s findings. “Metabolic imbalance” is a catch-all phrase for different conditions and, in itself, is equivalent of a diagnosis of “heart problem.” There are electrolyte insufficiencies, anaerobic imbalances, acid imbalances, and an assortment of related disorders that can have serious health consequences. According to a 2007 peer-reviewed study in the American Journal of Managed Care, patients with underlying mental illnesses have a higher incidence of this syndrome."

It also said he may have taken it to lose weight.

[azureblue]

27. IOW

Trump found a pill peddler who would write him a script. That is one purposely vague diagnosis there. (Cue the Beatles "Dr. Robert&quot

[lapfog_1]

31. say it aint so!

[Buns_of_Fire]

29. "Metabolic imbalance." In layman's terms, everything he eats

is diverted from the normal human digestive processes and is sent directly to his fat ass. The problem with "Trump Syndrome" is that his brain is deprived of essential nutrients and eventually shrinks to the size of a walnut, while his MAMMOTH ASS is doing fine and growing larger every day. If not treated, his ass will soon assert control of his entire body (if it hasn't already).

[BigmanPigman]

36. too late, it has.

[Volaris]

41. Ok that made me LOL!

[Weed Man]

44. Wrong

He is taking diet pills which is cheap speed. Hes fat and lazy. And abusing the pills.

[Phoenix61]

16. Evil never sleeps nt

[Eyeball_Kid]

18. Holy Amphetamines!

[lark]

20. He'd had a bigly day of snorting

and so couldn't sleep.

[left-of-center2012]

32. He does do a lot of sniffing when giving speeches.

[berni_mccoy]

34. Amphetamines will keep you up

[peggysue2]

39. Yes, they do and . . .

over time they'll make you cray-cray. I've suspected for a long time that the Trumpster has a pill-popping problem. Those manic periods are very typical of an amphetamine addiction. As is the angry down swing and inability to sleep or think clearly.

[Initech]

35. Someone ate too many Big Macs yesterday.

[SpankMe]

38. Looks like our national policy is being set by Fox News.

I can't think of such a destructive force having so much power in the country without being accountable to the people. NRA included.

[TomSlick]

45. Assuming he sleeps (which is not clear),

I would expect a fat man his age to get up at least once during the night to go to the toilet. I have long suspected the early morning tweets are poop-tweets. Now I wonder if there is a TV in the bathroom.
