1. The man is unwell. There can be no doubt about it.

n/t

[rzemanfl]

5. My pupil looked like that the day after cataract surgery.

What's his excuse, a bad round of golf? Spending too much time with Melanoma's kidneys?

[tblue37]

28. Drugs, I'm guessing. The sniffing, too. nt

[Grasswire2]

48. I don't think there's any of that going on.

Rumor is that she and Barron live elsewhere in D.C. with her parents.

[rzemanfl]

50. If so, we are paying for their Secret Service protection.

Grifters.

[ZZenith]

2. And that's with all the camera lighting going full blare.

Gonna be volumes written about this disaster of a human being. Forever held up as one of the worst human failures in history.

[Demovictory9]

4. yeah. The Trump years will be studied for a century

[ZZenith]

8. Or two.

I always wondered how Hitler managed to bamboozle but I no longer do...

[ginnyinWI]

12. they shot Hitler up with drugs so he could function.

Not sure with what, but that's what they said in "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich".

[ZZenith]

13. methamphetamine, barbiturates, cocaine, steroids, sex hormones and

an early form of OxyContin.

Who wouldn’t become a mass murderer with that chemistry?

[ginnyinWI]

21. thanks! n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

45. Highly recommend the book "Blitzed."

Hitler wasn't the only one jacked on drugs in the Third Reich. Eye-opening stomach churning read.

[Demovictory9]

36. me either

[volstork]

32. If we survive that long

n/t

[Demovictory9]

35. lol. yeah

[Sanity Claws]

3. His face is asymmetrical and his head held

At a slant.
The dilated pupils is a good catch.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. OMG those a fucking pie plates. How much stimulant is he on?

Answer: Apparently a metric fuck ton, because that is under bright lighting. His pupils should be small. Not pin-pricks, but certainly small.

[LuckyCharms]

7. Holy shit, what is dilating those pupils?

That's some scary shit right there.

[True Blue American]

11. I noticed Pence was watching

Him closely. Did not notice the constant sniffing until I watched the video.

[LuckyCharms]

14. Putting the video and the picture together...

he's REALLY messed up. Worst I've seen him. He's on some powerful drugs, or he's very sick. Eyes just don't dilate like that, under lights especially, unless it is being caused by disease or drugs. Freaking terrifying.

[smirkymonkey]

30. It's most likely drugs.

See analysis at the link. I have posted summary below:

https://medium.com/@DrGJackBrown/body-language-and-medical-analysis-4221-why-are-donald-trumps-pupils-intermittently-so-large-f4d883c8126a

"Summary: President Donald Trump’s pupils are intermittently and significantly dilated — from a medical standpoint, this is NOT normal. The ambient light conditions cannot account for such changes. At other times they are within normal limits.

This intermittent pattern is NOT due to trauma, complications from surgery, or disease. I have not examined Donald Trump and I have no firsthand knowledge of him — however, the myriad of photographic evidence available online seems to point strongly to the remaining possible etiology — Donald Trump’s Intermittently Dilated Pupils are due to the side effects of drugs/medications.

Recent reports by journalist Kurt Eichenwald are consistent with this conclusion. I invite everyone to refute or confirm these medical findings — particularly those physicians with neuro-ophthalmology expertise.

I also suggest that an independent party set up a publicly available, online photo/video diary to chronologically highlight and monitor President Trump’s pupils."

[KPN]

38. This article should be an OP in itself.

Clicked on the link, but it came up to home page. I’ll check it out later with more time.

Thanks for posting.

[greyl]

42. Working link is

here.

[cwydro]

18. I thought Pence looked alarmed at times.

He was watching the gibbon closely.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

22. Allegedly, he snorted crushed Adderall during shoots for The Apprentice

And before she died, Carrie Fisher said that she recognized the sniffs of a drug user (having been one herself for a long time, of course) and the Tangerine Colostomy Bag was on something during the debates.

[uponit7771]

46. +1,

[BigmanPigman]

9. He looks like he just came back from Woodstock.

I thought the brown acid was bad.

[alittlelark]

10. His pupils are as dilated as mine were at a party in the 80's

When I tried ‘orange sunshine’ LSD.

[KPN]

37. No kidding. Me too but in probably 73, 74.

Haven’t thought or heard “Orange sunshine” in decades; blast from the past.

But back to the point — hadn’t seen his pupils during his statement till now, but definitely he was on something. It was pretty freaking creepy.

[pangaia]

15. what's the matter with his mouth, tongue ?

[Gothmog]

16. trump need a full neuropsych workup.

[tblue37]

31. He saw a capital "T" and the word "Ohio," and since he isn't really focused on

the situation (he played golf and partied at a wedding Saturday instead), he just fell into autopilot, so "T" and "Ohio" became "Toledo, Ohio."

[localroger]

17. Drugs that cause dilated pupils

According to https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/drug-addiction/drugs-dilated-pupils/#gref

" These include SSRI antidepressants, amphetamines, MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, ecstasy, cocaine and mescaline. In the case of these drugs, serotonin (a brain chemical affecting mood) agonizes the 5-HT2A receptors in the brain and kicks off dilation."

Of the drugs on that list my money is on SSRI's or amphetamines. Or both.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. I agree, likely SSRI's AND amphetamines. His behavior reinforces these hypotheses

[pnwest]

27. That weird mouth pursing and slurring seems

like dry mouth. Adding that to the dilated pupils and the sniffing narrows down even mire closely to “Amphetamines, also in prescription form as ADHD and narcolepsy medicine”.

http://www.lancasterjoiningforces.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/DFWP-Substance-Duration-Signs-Symptoms.pdf

I didn’t really take the report’s of the adderall snorting seriously until seeing that closeup of his dilated pupils today, and googling those three symptoms. It’s unfathomable, but could he really be still snorting adderall - and being enabled to do so?!

[Ilsa]

47. I can't imagine him owning up to needing SSRIs.

He would see depression or anxiety as a weakness. Ergo, I suspect it is one of the worst drugs on your list.

[milestogo]

19. Article by a physician on what is causing Trump's dilated pupils...

https://medium.com/@DrGJackBrown/body-language-and-medical-analysis-4221-why-are-donald-trumps-pupils-intermittently-so-large-f4d883c8126a

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. I noticed that one of the causes can be... uh... syphilis.

The doctor discounts disease as a reason, but I wonder...

[milestogo]

29. It seems highly unlikely that Trump would have an untreated STD.

[Dave Starsky]

54. Al Capone died of syphilis, because he was afraid of needles.

I can easily see the whacked-out dullard in chief being the same way.

[localroger]

33. The reason he discounts disease is that they aren't ALWAYS dilated

Since they seem to always be about the same size, and they are sometimes normal, this indicates that it is an intermittent effect applying to both eyes which causes the dilation. That's why he settles on systemic drugs as the probable cause. Injury or topical effects would tend to only affect one or the other eye; disease would tend to always affect them. Systemic drugs affect the whole body, including both eyes, but only when you take them.

[Hekate]

20. Watched with the sound off. What is that with the mouth pouching out & going pffff several times?

Totally flat affect. Every time we see him he looks sicker

[Ms. Toad]

34. His mouth always does that.

That's the most consistent caricature of him (Think Alec Baldwin on SNL)

[Akacia]

25. Wow something is definitely not right about him. nt.

[donkeypoofed]

26. Doesn't he snort Adderall? It's what keeps him going!

That's one big pupil! I said pupil, Donny Two-Scoops, not penis, ya sad-sack bastard.

[Codeine]

39. Fucking tweaker.

God I hate tweakers.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

41. you have damaged my brain

I read that as "twerker". Imagining that orange gas bag twerking is not healthy.

I'm pouring a double shot. Or double that.

Argh.

[Grasswire2]

49. LOLOLOL

I did a spit take of my tea at that.


Have you seen this?

[UpInArms]

40. Looked like flop sweat to me

eom

[VOX]

43. 45 read that like a hostage video. Zero affect, breathless, and as shaky an anxious 8th grader.

And he’s gotta have Pence right there as a security blanket.

Sick in body AND mind.

[Demonaut]

44. he's a joke

and we are still the punchline

[moose65]

51. Under his eye!!

😝

[Funtatlaguy]

52. Handmaids Tale reference. 👍

[Polly Hennessey]

53. I think about students of the future

and their papers on the tRump years.

1. They will ask why “we” let this happen.
2. Researching for the assignment will not
be boring.

[captain queeg]

55. And his beat red face

Not just his spray on tan. He’s jacked.
