• Recalled his drinking days and how faith gave him the discipline to stop.

"I wouldn't be president if I kept drinking. You get sloppy, can't make decisions, it clouds your reason, absolutely. I still remember the feeling of a hangover, even though I haven't had a drink in twenty years." He said he ate chocolate in the evenings after he swore off booze, because his body missed the sugar.

21. :spray: :wtf:

So this is him sharp? This is him making thoughful decisions? This is him using reason?

Then he's excellent at making selfish, narcassistic, ego-stroking decisions for the super-rich and power-hungry.

But we knew that already.

And this disqualifies him from being President.

And we knew that already, too.

And this DID disqualify him from being President.

And we know that.

Is he just a natural loser?
