1. There's Enough Dirt Already

If this can't be proven, i'd prefer we just let this pass. There's a laundry list of reasons to loathe him and his gang now.

[Bucky]

84. It's gossip, but then so is history. It's what humans do.

I agree it's not high minded policy debate to point out the leader of the Free world is an adderrol snorting sex predator. But neither is the 🍄 weiner stuff and we all get a kick out of that.

[MineralMan]

2. We don't need unsubstantiated rumors to defeat Trump.

[MelissaB]

5. No, but I love seeing him humiliated.

[Just a Weirdo]

7. Actually it is fact..

He's been well-known cheap speed freak.

[MelissaB]

11. Thanks for the reminder.

I knew I had read this before.

[Achilleaze]

14. It would explain Dirty Donny*s super suspicious sniffing all the damn time

* aka republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[ZeroSomeBrains]

46. That sniffing constantly seemed to indicate something

It would also explain the 2am tweets and the allegation that he doesn't sleep.

[Chalco]

65. Exactly. I was thinking the same thing!

[dalton99a]

29. +1

[Dustlawyer]

34. That's what all of the sniffling, snorting and wheezing was during his speeches!

[llmart]

43. And the pacing behind her.

[grantcart]

44. I was going to call bull shit because he is abstains from alcohol, then I clicked on your link

Here they list side effects from Phentermine

C. Richard Allen, the director of the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency, called phentermine “cheap speed” to The New York Times. Side effects of phentermine include:
•Trouble with thinking, speaking, or walking
•Decreased ability to exercise
•False or unusual sense of well-being
•Insomnia
•Nervousness
•Increase in sexual ability, desire, drive, or performance
•Confusion

You could not get a better match of symptoms including "false or unusual sense of well-being"

On the sexual side it probably affects his desire but performance is diminished by the well known side effects of Propecia

[octoberlib]

58. Do you remember when he kept sniffing during a debate with Hillary and everybody kept

joking he must have been snorting coke? I was on Twitter and 3 different journalists said no, he crushes and snorts Adderall. I posted it on here.

[Bucky]

86. If you watch the stand up comic's video...

You'll see it's actually an unsubstantiated eyewitness account.

It's posted here

3. I had no idea one could snort Adderall, or that it was a thing, but

apparently it is, and it's bad: https://www.addictioncampuses.com/adderall/insufflation/

Chronic and extended Adderall abuse can cause unpleasant changes in mood, due to the chemical changes it may produce in the brain. Common moods reported due to Adderall abuse include nervousness, agitation, anxiety, irritability, depression, confusion and restlessness.

When someone snorts large doses of Adderall, they may experience irrational periods of aggression or paranoia. The more frequently someone snorts or abuses Adderall, the more likely they are to experience sudden mood swings.

[mr_lebowski]

16. It's not much worse than just eating it, though it'll give ya pretty bad nose problems after a time

It just hits you a little faster and slightly more intensely, and wears off a little quicker (8 hours vs 12 hours).

Not that I'd know personally, just what I've heard.

[sarcasmo]

73. It explains captain bonkers sniffles during the debates.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

79. +1

[Cha]

87. I just looked it up.. it's suppose to..

"It also improves attention and focus"

It missed the boat on that with trump.

Adderall's Effect On Your Brain: Whatever Obscure Benefits There Are, It's Not Worth It

[KPN]

4. That's actually believeable.

Wouldn't it be nice if this were corroborated? Another log on the bonfire can't hurt.

[LiberalArkie]

48. His supporters would not care at all.

[demmiblue]

6. I just finished watching the video:

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. That is very interesting.

A lot of stand-up works well precisely because it is something true, and boy, does this have the ring of truth.

[mr_lebowski]

17. And you do REALLY want to FF to 3:28. Not cause he's a bad comic (though he's not great)

But there's THE MOST ANNOYING friggin' banging in the background ... it's like he's performing in the dining room at Benihana ...

[Rorey]

31. Yeah, what the heck was that?

But then it got really interesting, so I didn't even notice that the banging had stopped.

[Rorey]

28. Wow!

[colorado_ufo]

54. He actually had some pretty great lines!

He just needs to work on his initial delivery a little bit, perhaps he's somewhat nervous when he first gets up there. However, the Trump schtick seals the deal!

"In humor there is truth."

[dewsgirl]

8. There's been a rumor forever he's addicted to Adipex an amphetamine like weight loss drug.

Obviously it's not working.

[FM123]

9. There is nothing about trumpy that would surprise me!

[safeinOhio]

10. Can the House demand that he......

Pee in the cup?

[dem4decades]

12. I have no idea if he is or not but he does sniff about like at the debate.

With Hillary.

It was weird.

[mn9driver]

13. Trump is known to be contemptuous of drinkers.

The likelihood of this rumor being true is low.

[mr_lebowski]

20. Right because his brother died from his alcoholism ...

However, a LOT of people regard taking addictive drugs that come from their doctor in an entirely different light. Like 'I'm not some low-life drunk/druggie, cause this is PRESCRIBED to me!'

Plus there's the fact that if the brother is an alcoholic, then addiction may run in the family. In pics I've seen, Ol' Fred looks like he probably liked his drink, too.

There's also the fact that you KNOW this gonna get back to Trump. This guy would be taking a big risk of getting sued by Trump for saying this ... hell even if it IS true, let alone if it's not.

This is very, very believable to me, given the totality of the circumstances.

[Locrian]

37. absolutely

MANY drug abusers (alcohol is a big one) look down on the "other" drugs and users.
I know a few semi-alcoholics who think weed is the devils drug but alcohol is perfectly fine.

[getagrip_already]

47. Trump is the source of that rumor.....;

And he lies about everything. Don't take it as fact. Yes, his brother died, but EVERYTHING else about this story is suspect.

[LanternWaste]

51. Carrie Nation had no issues at all with opium use.

I think you're conflating two separate things.

[waddirum]

71. Being contemptuous of drinkers

and being an Adderall freak oneself are not mutually exclusive concepts.

Much like being a germaphobe does not preclude one from being into piss play.

[Aristus]

18. That might help explain his popularity out in meth country.

[Raine1967]

19. Eichewald had this story killed by his new editor at NEwsweek

before he claimed he quit. HEre is the link: https://www.scribd.com/document/372716093/According-to-Medical-Records-Obtained-by-Newsweek


and here are his tweets from last march.

Link to tweet

I don't think the guy is lying.

[blueinredohio]

21. He sure doesn't have much energy for a speed freak.

[peggysue2]

32. He might take amphetamines sporatically or play with the dosage

You can have huge spikes from manic behavior to falling off a cliff after days of no sleep. Snorting the substance gets the drug into your system quicker. Ruinous to your health, particularly for a 72-year old man.

Back in the day, when I was young and stupid, I was addicted to diet pills. Watching Trumpski, I've always believed the man was on something. His behavior during the debates and those wild rallies? He's been jacked up on something for quite awhile.

[redstateblues]

78. As a former speed freak and later a coke user

I believe he is doing either-the symptoms are obvious to me.

[peggysue2]

93. There you go!

Those of us with addiction problems in our past and/or those who have watched friends/family deal with these high-highs & low-lows, recognize the behavior simply through observation. Trumpski's behavior is not normal but absolutely explainable. He's jacked up on something.

[Vinca]

22. That would explain the sniffing.

[Dave Starsky]

23. You know what? Big deal. Who cares?

It's almost become obvious, at this point.

And it's nothing compared to his treason and other monumentally sleazeball behaviors and criminal activities.

[anarch]

24. jeez, you'd think someone with the resources he has would be able to afford cocaine

FFS, does he sniff airplane glue out of a brown paper bag, too?

What a loser.

[Buckeyeblue]

36. Since this is a prescription drug, he doesn't consider it drug abuse.

[kskiska]

70. Like Elvis.

[mr_lebowski]

75. Let Us Pray ...

Trump keeling over on the can would make an epic tale.

Only second to croaking in the sack with someone not named Melania ...

[OnDoutside]

25. Doesn't he have a lawyer to kill these stories ???? .... Oh wait.....

[emulatorloo]

33. ...

[Equinox Moon]

40. OMG!

[Bucky]

85. He's got teams of them

The comedian discussing his adderal habit said he had signed a non-disclosure agreement, but apparently the guy doesn't care. I assume he assumes the president is too busy with other concerns to launch yet one more lawsuit.

[JHan]

92. lol

[Cha]

26. It's been obvious

trump is on some kind of speed.. doncha think?

[KCDebbie]

27. So, the Russians installed a stupid, racist, drug-addicted

Compulsive liar into our Oval Office...

Well, the Russians and the poorly educated that seem to make up two/thirds of Trump supporters!

[UTUSN]

30. Been saying this since the rebuke primaries, his sniffling and snorting.

Plus the odd non-sleeping.

[flibbitygiblets]

35. Maybe Wonderboy Jared could take this on as soon as he fixes the opioid crisis!

Sounds like something he'd be great at handling, given his long list of accompli...oh yeah, never mind.

[tinrobot]

38. Explains the excessive sniffling during the debates.

[Equinox Moon]

39. Adderall - This does make sense to me. Here is what the drug is:

What is Adderall?

Adderall contains a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine are central nervous system stimulants that affect chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control.

Adderall is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

[violetpastille]

56. And it does make you feel like you are the smartest person in the room.

If not the world.

But why is he obese?

[ecstatic]

60. LOL! I've taken ADD. meds and I ended up losing a lot of weight but

the thing is, they don't work if you don't actually have something productive to focus on. If you don't have an agenda or a to-do-list, it's pretty much worthless.

[mr_lebowski]

77. Not everyone in the world loses weight on amphetamines ...

Not only can they affect people different ways (I had a good friend in my early 20's who I swear could totally eat on Crystal, like eat a LOT!), but also after a lot of years, the appetite suppressing effect wears down (as do most of their other effects, just like most drugs ... tolerance).

Plus for all we know Trump would be 400lbs w/o the Adderall.

[violetpastille]

80. Trump could be Russia, he could be China

"Or a guy sitting on their bed who weighs 400 pounds"

[mr_lebowski]

81. You got it!

[Blue Owl]

41. He's Nostrildumbass

n/t

[Ilsa]

88. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Love that.

I'm stealing it!

[czarjak]

45. "Fake news", of course!

[paulkienitz]

49. the idea that he's on speed came up a couple of times during the campaign

There's at least one story from ten or twenty years ago of him getting Doctor Feelgood prescriptions for speed, and it was noted in several places that the behavior profile matches that of someone on speed. So this may be unsubstantiated, but it's also quite plausible.

[llmart]

50. I believe it.

[Honeycombe8]

52. How nice for him to wait until Trump appears to be going down. nt

[leftynyc]

53. OK - finally we have a story I don't believe

donnie is a freaking disgusting degenerate - both personally and professionally - but there has NEVER been a whiff of scandal involving either liquor or drugs. He's famously against both.

[smirkymonkey]

62. However he has a very addictive personality and it would not surprise me at all if he had

a hidden prescription drug problem. Like he does with everything else, he has probably convinced himself that because he got it from a "doctor" that it's perfectly fine and therefore he's not a low-life druggie. Also, he is a flaming liar. I wouldn't trust anything he said about his own habits. The symptoms he exhibits are right in line with those of a speed freak.

[leftynyc]

90. Agree with what you're saying

He does exhibit many symptoms of an addictive personality but that doesn't always translate into drugs or alcohol. But you bring up another good point - he finds excuses for everything he does so if he was given drugs by a doctor, he would never see himself as a "lowlife" addict. I'd have to learn more, much more, before I would repeat this story.

[jmowreader]

72. Was he against alcohol...

BEFORE or AFTER he was in the vodka business?

[leftynyc]

91. It's been since his brother died

an alcoholic. MANY drug dealers don't do drugs themselves, they're only looking for the money.

[violetpastille]

55. Why is he obese?

And he seems to be gaining weight around his hips and thighs since he became President.

What is going on with his health?

[Different Drummer]

59. This explains the obesity.

[violetpastille]

61. His diet is awful

But most addicts have awful diets. They don't like to eat very much though.

Is he forcing himself to eat? Has he completely fucked up his endocrine system? Questions, questions.

[smirkymonkey]

63. Also, he doesn't move.

I have known of obese or very hefty drug addicts. They don't all look like strung out rock-stars.

[Hekate]

64. KnR to read thread later

[Runningdawg]

66. LOL anyone else see an ad for Adderall in this post?

I got 2 - after OP and at the end of comments.

[shanny]

67. that would explain a lot

not all, mind you--his bedrock "issues" are just that--but a lot nevertheless

[lame54]

68. Sniff sniff

[elocs]

69. We can suspect a lot, but can't prove anything without a drug test or tests

and that just ain't going to happen.

[ffr]

74. Side effects include heart problems, seizures, aggression, paranoia, and psychosis.

That would explain a lot.

[Ponietz]

76. Hmmm

82. Sniffy McSniffleface

That guy could hoover up a bag of cement with his nostrils. I'm sure it's more than just adderal.

[backscatter712]

83. Trump's tantrums must rival Hitler's

Particularly the ones in Downfall (Der Untergang)...

[hexola]

89. I know an Adderol addict - and he's EXACTLY like Trump

I worked with a young fellow - who is/was an extremely talented country music singer and guitar player.

Sings like an angel

I'd probably be on tour somewhere in the USA if this douchebag wasn't an Adderol junkie.

I've been working with him since he was a teenager - so I've watched the whole thing.

He is the best - and not afraid to tell you.

He is better than everyone else

He's always right

Everyone else sucks

Trust me - that attitude won't get you very far in the music biz. He was a flaming failure.

I'll never forget, before one our biggest theater shows - we're getting ready to hit the stage - and he goes back to the green room crushes a pill - snorts it - and heads for the stage...hate to say - that was the best show we ever did!

But - it was pretty much downhill from there - now he's a broken moron who posts videos of him playing guitar and singing in his bathroom.
