40 years of amphetamine abuse has taken its toll on Trump

[Snake Plissken]

If rock stars from the 1960 and 1970 didn't stop doing hard drugs when they hit middle age, their brains would be just as guacamole as Trump's is.

1. Someone got flagged for drugs on the security clearances.

Did they check Donald's nostrils? There must be cocaine stalactites in there dating back to Studio 54

9. The one that got flogged for drugs...possibly his supplier? Yikes. nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. I actually dont think he has ever taken a recreational drug or abused a controlled substance

like Adderil etc.

However that is spelled.

He truly is a pure, unadulterated sociopath asshole and incapable of acting ANY other way.

No drugs are necessary for him.

5. Agreed.

110% All Natural Personality Disorders and Insanity.

6. What some videos on Youtube of people on amphetamines, their incoherent babbling is just like Trump

Or better yet, here is L. Ron Hubbard, who also was an amphetamine fiend, he sounds exactly like Trump, the incoherent babbling, the paranoia, the imaginary enemies, the whining.

7. But rump is like this 24/7 for 65 years or more. Drug users go thru various stages

of behavour none of which does rump exhibit othar than the mania and stupidity.

Drug user goes thru withdrawal when low on or out of drugs, and various other stuff.

8. Sure he's always been an asshole, but watch a video of Trump from the 1980s then ...

watch a video of him in the 1990s and later, he progressively acts more and more like a speed junkie, to the point now where he can't even complete a coherent sentence.

13. His vocabulary, volume, diction, acccent and...

...sentence structure were all different then - he didn't sound like such a gangster then.

10. Yes, and when you get older and are on these drugs they have more of an impact and one...

needs to cut back on them since they (at the same dose as before, when younger) retain longer in the system (when you are older) and doses have more of an impact. My mom had the same effect...her drug of choice was Ambien.

11. rich people just never run out of drugs esp w/ the florida connection

Trump is from the NYC of the swinging 70s. Dude's been coked to the gills for decades. Don't let the "I don't drunk cuz my brother" line fool you. Dude's wired.

[Eliot Rosewater]

15. Nothing to do with that. Someone who is abusing a substance WILL exhibit radically different

behavour depending on many factors.

He has been exactly the same, every minute, every hour, every day, every year.

It isnt drugs. Ask ANY former user.

If it was drugs that would be good news, it would mean this is NOT who he really is and possibly could go into recovery and so on.

It is NOT drugs. Wish it was, believe me!

17. Even sociopathic assholes can develop dementia.

Watching the video of him saying "oranges" clearly, at least 4 times, when he obviously meant "origins" convinces me he has dementia, not to even count the weird things he does like wandering away from a huge black car in front of his nose when he comes off the plane.

we'd be seeing a lot more of that if he were not so closely cushioned and guarded by his handlers.

I do think he is being prescribed drugs beyond the statins that were reported, but statins have aknown side effects including cognitive and memory impairments.

Gonna be interesting when the truth comes out, and it will.

3. Keith Richards says hi!

[Snake Plissken]

4. Keith Richards quit in his 50s, Trump is still tweeking like a methhead on an episode of COPS

[Marcuse]

12. And Mick is prepping for heart surgery this week.

14. Or.... syphilitic dementia
