In addition to that makeup, and his overall incoherent speech (not to mention the message and the lies), the other thing that bugs me are the herky-jerky movements he uses when he's at the podium. There is something really wrong with him.

Trump is on drugs, whether we want to face it or not, he is an Adderall addict and has been addicted to speed for decades. Benzo’s figure in as well as the UK Sudafed he takes to control those sniffles and for the buzz. This was NO secret in TV Production.

While they should definitely investigate, it would be pretty reckless to report something that serious based on just this, and a couple claims from an Apprentice crew member and Tom Arnold.

I'm inclined to believe Trump snorts Adderall as has been claimed, but there's not much to go on as far as an actual news piece goes.

...on co-workers and work performance (speaking as a former HR person here). Then, since they are news people, interview some professionals and let them have at it.
