Judging by his size, he doesn’t abstain for health reasons.

If he were a lush, we'd understand his rants. But to think that he's always sober? It boggles the mind.

is the actual alcohol. I wonder what he would be like drunk? Would it just amplify his horrible qualities or would it subdue him?

He certainly has an addict/alcoholic personality. His drugs are attention, money, food, diet coke, women, lying, etc.

I can't ever see him mellowing out. It is said that alcohol reveals your true nature and I am sure that his is even worse than we know.

Why on Earth would we accept his word about this? If Trump told me the sun came up this morning, I would have to check.

1. Sex.

2. Power...probably wants this for #1

3. Himself...well, it's probably narcissism.
