What should his pupils be? In that lighting, etc. There are many photographs of him where this has been noted but nothing ever comes of it. His demeanor at times is often very different, too. He slurs his words, slows down his speech and mispronounces words. He reuses a word over and over in the same sentence (disaster, disgrace). Something is clearly off but no one says or does anything. Who is keeping the truth from the American people? How many people are in on it? Who will have the guts to end this nightmare by exposing his problem?

I am waiting for the day someone secretly tapes him and then releases the tape for all to see. I think one of his epic meltdowns Would be a good place to start. Screaming, throwing things, cursing like a demon. Oh, yea. A Lonesome Roads moment.

Those are like, 'tripping balls on acid'-size pupils given that lighting.

Stimulants have the same effect.

Any drug that does that alters one's state of consciousness.

also explains why he has trouble reading cue cards and goes off script so often. Can't focus properly in bright light. Anyone who has had pupils dilated for an eye exam can relate to that.

Normal pupil size in bright light is 2 to 4 mm. If, as the OP says, his are 7.5 and 8 in bright light, something is causing it.

My own pupils have been larger than average since birth, a genetic trait. But even mine shrink to pinpoints in bright light.

I watched a Netflix documentary that talked about the same thing. We all know that Trump admires Hitler.

He looks like a lizard. Did anyone else see how he hugged Ivanka when he walked into the room? Extended hug, whispering. Then he went to Maleria and gave her a quick kiss. Anyone who did not know better would think Ivanka was the wife, Maleria his mom. Strange family dynamics there. I LOVE Nancy Pelosi. Would really like to hear what she really thinks of this disaster of president.

Hideous man. Absolutely repulsive. Lizard-like was the first thing that came to mind. He just makes my skin crawl.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT???? He was obviously hopped up on any number of things. Why the hell everyone is ignoring that is beyond me. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! Anyone else who behaved like that would be hauled off to a prison psychiatric ward. "Victory lap", my fat ass!!! That and the prayer breakfast rant were full on mental breaks.

...which controls the involuntary movements of Parkinsons.

And Geo Conway hinted at a percocet addiction.
