When Drumpf accuses others of something, usually that means he is doing it himself.

This latest, bizarre, flap about drugs reminded me of some rumors I read about a while ago. Apparently "some people" are, actually, saying he is on drugs.

I don't know how reliable this is, but here is a link, just for the fun of it:

" A Fox smells his own hole"... thus tRump suggest he should get a drug screening.

Keep throwing junk out there so the media will take about it (and ignore more serious stuff).

I was up at 2am at night doing housework....it made my heart beat erratically..It would be nothing for me to be up at 3am tweeting, I would only need a couple of hours sleep
After 5 days I flushed the bottle down the toilet..
He is showing all the symptoms...I would not be surprised if he keeled over..

I hardly noticed taking the brand name version.

Years later my neurologist tried me on it to see if it would help my sleep disorder (well, one of them). The generic version gave me heart palpitations like you wouldn't believe. I cut the pills in half, and the side effects were still bad. I finally quit because I figured I was too old to mess around with my health like that.

On the upside, I did lose 20 pounds I wanted to lose, without even trying. So later on I asked him if by any chance they still made the brand name and he said no, they don't. Darn.

Says Hillary lacks stamina, then he fades out in the first debate and has to lean on the podium.

Accuses Hillary of starting birther movement, when he is the main proponent.

Accuses others of lying, when he is clearly a pathological liar himself.

Always talking about women being fat, when he can't even see his own shoes.

Talks about others being "rapists and criminals" . . . look in the mirror, Donald!

and on and on . . .

....or is still doing.

Regarding his clear pattern of sexual assaults, if he were not Donald son of Fred Trump he would have been in prison decades ago.
