When are people going to quit blaming Adderall for Trump?

[Archae]

Whether Trump is snorting Adderall or not, (my money is on not,) his actions and words are his own.

Trump has always been a vicious, vindictive con man.

I'm getting sick of hearing about "the drugs kicked in," or "the drugs wore off."

Trump is an asshole. Always has been, he was mentored by an absolute asshole, Roy Cohn.

1. Trump has been pure evil from the day he was born.

8. I honestly believe that.

I believe he was born bad. His parents might have made things worse, but he was born evil.

2. He's always been vile. He is being enabled to increase his vileness to catastrophic levels

We are now in dangerous times. I won't draw a truly easy breath until he's out of office.

4. I won't really breathe easy until he's died.

Even out of office, he'll continue making speeches, holding his "Triumph Of The Will" rallies, and appearances on Faux "news."

He'll smear anyone he wants to, lie, cheat more people out of their properties and what he owes them, and you can bet your bottom dollar Trump is going to continue grabbing as much money as he can from taxpayers.

5. I agree. I'm hoping pending and future legal issues will swallow him up.

I have no doubt that avoiding those situations is the main force driving him to steal another election.

I want him to spend his final days as an invalid, unable to communicate, surrounded by a world he can no longer affect. You now, have his Karma play out in real time, in front of the whole world.

3. I haven't seen people blaming the drugs for his behavior.

I have seen people saying that he is slurring his speech or sniffing heavily, or appearing "wired" as a result of taking some kind of substance.

What comes out of his mouth is what he has knocking around in that rather empty skull of his, from that tiny, very smooth brain.

Drugs can certainly have an effect on behavior, but typically they affect behavior by stimulating or depressing receptors. Alcohol has a disinhibiting effect and decreases executive function. Stimulants typically give a euphoric effect and can also enhance feelings of paranoia and agitation.

Trump is an asshole. His lack of empathy and ethics are likely a result not only of Cohn's mentoring, but of the attachment injuries sustained from his father and mother, who reportedly did not pay him much attention when he was developing.

The drugs just enhance his actions or interfere with his functioning in odd ways.

6. Trump is an asshole, and the drugs don't help...

[2naSalit]

11. They help him to be even more of an asshole...nt

7. Recommended.

9. One can be evil and abuse drugs.

[Leith]

12. Then what makes him sniff so much?

Has he never noticed it when he reviews his speeches (and you know he does)?

He's putting something foreign up his nostrils.

13. Trump's father had serious problems, too, raising his kids to be "killers." And HIS father,

Trump's grandfather, dodged military service in Germany and made his fortune in America running brothels.
