This was when he first foisted himself on us. She said, separate from whatever his obnoxious "policies", that she recognized his physical behaviors as those of a junkie, based on her own self-declared addiction and intimate knowledge of same within her circle of friends. Fact, one of her friends died in her house of an overdose.

She mentioned the sniffing, snorting, gasping, not to mention the flamboyance.

******************ON EDIT: Thanks to dewsgirl for posting the video, got 8 of the mispronounced/slurred words::

* "cree-gime" - regime?!1

* "terr-rist"

* "toler-rided"

* "accompli-ments"

* "de-tear-rant" - tear rhymes with "hair"

* "na-shuns"

* "sic-it" - seek it

having breathing problems! I guess having been in meetings with tRump, those guys are used to seeing him gasping and wheezing — but it is usually behind closed doors. This time the whole World was watching him. That fella looked like he half expected to have to catch tRump when he keeled over.

How does it feel? You sit there suppressing the urge to roll your eyes.

I honestly couldn't look into the eyes of a person that look like that and feel things are ok.

Some of Trump's behaviors like the frequent sniffing can be associated with Adderall addiction. His affect was also strangely flat during the speech delivery, as if he was bored with it all, and can't be bothered to explain himself to peons...
