Of interest to perhaps only me – @realDonaldTrump finds new people, places and things to insult at a shockingly linear rate. Here's his cumulative unique insults over time, with a linear best-fit to insults since Jan. 1, 2016. pic.twitter.com/VCg3iVtIQq— Kevin Quealy (@KevinQ) November 21, 2018

he usually insults whoever is criticizing him or is connected with something that is threatening to him. since he's constantly smearing his ass on the universe, there's no shortage of new enemies for him to counterattack

A former staffer on The Apprentice and current stand-up comic named Noel Casler claims that Donald Trump was a “speed freak” who snorted crushed-up Adderall, and also says that Trump invited teen beauty pageant contestants up to his suite.
Casler told the crowd “I’m not kidding this is true. I had a 24-page NDA non-disclosure agreement, I didn’t know that he was becoming president, now it’s no way dumbass, I’m telling you everything I know.”

The late Wayne Barrett also investigated a rumor that Trump was hospitalized for an amphetamine overdose in, IIRC, the early '90s. Had key interviews but didn't publish for lack of documents. https://t.co/dXgTHadFpT— Corey Pein 😃🤑😐😩💀 (@coreypein) December 13, 2018

the amphetamine usage doesn't bother me. sadly it's one of the few things i find remotely relatable about him (not that i have ever fucked around with amphetamines, but it's not uncommon)

the stuff about him treating miss teen universe contestants as pieces of meat, though - THAT will be thing that brings this president down!!

having spent enough time around ppl on uppers (unfortunately), there is like zero doubt in my mind Trump fucks with amphetamines. talking incessantly while saying nothing, running through all sorts of nonsensical tangents, being that keyed up nearly all the time at 70+, sleeping only a couple of hours a night, etc.
certain times (like that insane Fox & Friends call-in interview) he seems blatantly cranked out of his mind.

I could've sworn those rumors were more-or-less substantiated aaages ago (read: at least eighteen months ago). Wasn't there at least some suggestion that crazy Dr. Healthiestpresidentever was actually secretly a Dr. Feelgood?

trump's affection for amphetamines was well known in the 90s. i agree he is probably still taking them, speaking as someone who took similar medication for "ADD" for a long time
― 💫 (Trϵϵship), Friday, 28 December 2018 04:52 (five years ago) link
however, i don't think it explains much about him except maybe the weird amount of stamina he has and the rambling way he talks.

that little grain of white powder falling out of his nose at 0:09 as he's saying "even as a civilian", could be just a compression artifact, a simple glitch

if he's doing a ton of amphetamines, i wonder why it didn't show up in the woodward book or fire and fury though

because they're doing a ton of amphetamines too

easy to hide if he's just taking them but railing adderall? idk. probably, if you're the president

he should do more imo, lots and lots more, all at once.

As someone with a narcissist father, let me tell you this. He doesn't need to take ANY to keep up the delusions of grandeur-level effects at this point in his life.
― anvil, Friday, 28 December 2018 08:42 (five years ago) link
And that delusions of grandeur increase with age, and that also the levels of validation and attention he gets are more than anyone else in the world anyway. He don't need no drugs for any of this
― anvil, Friday, 28 December 2018 08:59 (five years ago) link
Of course—I’m not saying he is definitely doing drugs. Just that *if*he is using speed at this point, 40 years after he first began taking it, and it is still affecting him in these “textbook” ways, then he is taking massive doses.
― 💫 (Trϵϵship), Friday, 28 December 2018 14:02 (five years ago) link
i mean it's the only way to explain his seemingly endless supply of energy. he's not crushing salads and quinoa, he's eating cheeseburgers.

And he has begun to post stilted video messages, which feature him standing on the White House grounds or in front of a backdrop of flags. They feel a bit like hostage videos: a deadness in the eyes, an absence of joy.

just as a guy who used to snort a lot of adderall, meth, crushed up trucker speed, etc, it is just really hard for me to imagine the toll that shit would take on a 70-year-old body. old speed freaks are pretty hard to come by, I guess it could be different for rich people but like...proper speed jags leave you incapable of functioning & he doesn't even talk very fast.
