Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

exactly

iirc all three debates he was rambling incoherently and sniffing every 5 seconds

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?

I mean, let's just briefly consider the case of this septuagenarian with a diet that should leave him semi-comatose for 3/4 of the day and his seemingly bottomless reserves of energy...

i hate this sexist idiot so much https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/12/trump-swears-gm-will-rue-the-day-it-crossed-him

i just figured kanye styled him

https://gawker.com/the-best-theory-of-1992-donald-trump-took-amphetamine-1755299885 xp

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

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

all of washington is participating in "amphetamine parties", open secret

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

i don't know how good this guy is at hiding things

especially things to do with his personal habits. and he would need to be taking a TON to keep up the delusions of grandeur-level effects at this point in his life.

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

nd he would need to be taking a TON to keep up the delusions of grandeur-level effects at this point in his life.

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.

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

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.

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.

nice

When has this man ever had joy in his eyes?

I thought i read that narcissists are like privately tormwntwd and dissatisfied.

*tormented

Torrent?

it's like arthur c. clarke's famous observation: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"

trump's law of the deal is that any sufficiently advanced *job creating* financial arrangement is indistinguishable from crime . . . and the liberals are just jealous / hate america!

are we going to get tax returns in 12 minutes when the new congress convenes?

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

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.

Yeah, I don't see Trump having Lemmy's stamina.

You must admit this is a good line, and as near to the truth as he comes. https://t.co/bbpnlFBqne

isn't that what Trump does

(sell real estate, I mean)

ostensibly

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

i'd rather be a realtor in arizona than a dickhead billionaire sociopath in new york.

not that flake is selling real estate. the burn was bad and stupid.

"or whatever he's doing"

sort of an involuntary self-burn

How do you impeach a president who has won perhaps the greatest election of all time, done nothing wrong (no Collusion with Russia, it was the Dems that Colluded), had the most successful first two years of any president, and is the most popular Republican in party history 93%?

Wow.

I'm just waiting for the follow-up tweet where he mentions his superhuman strength, his record number of Academy Awards, and the fact that he's both the youngest and oldest person ever to have lived.

Let him host the Oscars... it's all he wants

Why do u wish for the producers of Green Book to sit through twenty two hours of incoherent bloviation before collecting their best picture award, why

ohhh how about Viggo hosting in character?

fuck this turd
