..White House admitted it 2 me, said "only a short time for diet" when he was not overweight. I countered w/ med records, they cut me off.
Ppl misreading. Drug was diethylpropion. 75 mgs/day. Prescription filled at Duane Reade on 57th Street in Manhattan. Not that I know things.
...Doctor who wrote prescription, Dr. Joseph Greenberg, diagnosed him with metabolic imbalance which we have never heard about again....
...Greenberg was later publicly slammed as someone who provided uppers to rich people in Manhattan.
...a "metabolic imbalance" if true could bea electrolyte insufficiencies, anaerobic imbalances, acid imbalances, and an assortment of....
...related disorders that can have serious health consequences. Yet his OTHER doctor, Dr. Harold Bornstein, said he had been Trump's....
....doctor since 1980 and never mentioned the "metabolic imbalance" found by Greenberg. Did Bornstein even know Greenberg treated Trump?
....and those are my fun facts for the day. Now, back to writing my book. My manuscript is due soon and I cant let my leave end before that.

His brother was an alcoholic. He shows many signs of being an addictive personality. I have no doubt that he could have been an addict at some point. He is such a fucking mess.
