Donald J. Trump has regularly accused his political opponent, President Joe Biden, of being cognitively impaired to the point of being unfit for the office of the White House. But that might be pure projection, if you take into account what one psychologist said on Saturday.Trump over the weekend sp...
I’m sure all the stress caused by the court cases doesn’t help. Usually the presidency is the most stressful thing to people, but that’s only true if they took the job seriously. Trump did not. Something that effects him is likely far more stressful for the narcissist.
And the prolonged use of drugs, for his entire life, but also specifically during his presidency.
I didn’t know he was known for doing drugs. Where did you find this information?
Lots has been coming out about the pharmacy at the white house during Dolt 45.
Mostly amphetamines and opiates.

It 's been alleged by several people from The Celebrity Apprentice era. This Newsweek article quotes Tom Arnold backing up another guy (Noel Casler) who worked on the show and some of Trump’s beauty pageants. They claim that Trump would crush and snort Adderall on set.
There’s also a photo from the oval office with Trump near an open drawer with multiple boxes of Sudafed in it. Snopes verifies that the image is legit, but evaluates the claims that the presence of the Sudafed is evidence of drug abuse as false.
Personally, I am not sure that I think the pic of the Sudefed is really evidence of drug abuse but I do think Snopes may have missed a beat on this one. Snopes claims that the particular formulation in the boxes uses phenylephrine rather than pseudoephedrine. Phenylephrine will not give you a high. However, as a someone with chronic sinus problems, I have been taking Sudefed when I need it for decades. When the phenylephrine formulations were first released they never worked for me at all. I was always able to get the same medicine with pseudoephedrine, though. I just had to get it from the pharmacist since they don’t sell it over the counter and require ID.
The packaging for both formulation look the same, just the ingredient list is different. The images I’ve seen of the boxes in the drawer have never been clear enough to say which formulation is in the drawer.
Minor correction - the Sudafed in the drawer pic is from Trump Tower (Snopes confirms it).
May be helpful if you were looking to do a timeline - this was probably years before he was in the WH.
Thank you. It all tends to blur together on me sometimes.
The labeling is similar but one is branded “PE” the other not
Allegedly insider(s) at the Whitehouse during his term have claimed that the medical staff kept a smorgasbord of stimulants readily available for easy access. Prescription drugs like Adderall.
Honestly haven’t looked at the reliability of the claims. I believe they were allegedly staffers and medical personnel who made these claims IIRC, but I don’t know if anyone actually went on the record.
Its weird they (Trump admin folks) don’t even know there’s pure dextroamphetamine or the big M available pharmaceutically
You gonna do speed -> do actual speeds
I think that was actually what was alleged. My brain interprets that as Adderal, but there’s a range of pharmaceuticals that I really don’t know much about so I kind of lump them together.
I’m sure you could find the actual claims on reputable news sites easily, I just don’t have time to sift through them atm. I’ve heard the claim many times
I’m saying it would be on-brand that they even half-ass doing speed. I consider Adderall as 3/4-assing. Very Trump like altho his 2/1-fat-ass 0/1-asses things, 1/2-ass is the max for his ilk
That’s a very good observation imo. 👍
