I wonder if Trump did drugs in the 60s and 70s

[TexasBushwhacker]

He was born in 46 and married Ivana a couple of months shy of his 31st birthday. The reason I ask is the 70s were pretty coked up and he certainly had the cash to support a drug habit.

One of my brothers did a lot of drugs in the 70s and 80s, the better part of 20 years. He eventually cleaned up his act, but maturity wise he seems to have lost that 20 years. Instead of acting like a responsible guy in his mid 50s, he's more like an irresponsible guy in his mid 30s. I think he did irreparable harm to his brain.

The things that Trump says are bizarre and he often sounds like a schoolyard bully. I wonder if he lost some brain cells to drugs or alcohol.

1. Supossedly, he does not smoke or drink....EOM

2. no--his dad had Alzheimer's, and at 70, Trump is probably

showing the early signs of dementia.

His beloved older brother died of alcoholism, and that is why Trump doesn't drink at all. I doubt he would do drugs, for the same reason.

3. He claims he's never done drugs. He's claimed he never drank alcohol because of his brother.

12. Hmm?

19. Apple juice with bubbles ...?

Could be this ...



or non-alcoholic "champagne"

While I don't believe ANYTHING that Don the Con says, these photos of him apparently drinking champagne may not be the whole truth.

4. He did spend some time at Studio 54

Maybe doesn't mean anything, but.......

5. Or STILL.....

6. Something tells me no.

Trump is a notorious teetotaler who claims never to have had a drink in his life. His older brother died of alcoholism.

8. Yeesh, Bill Clinton looks awful.

Jimmy Carter looked MUCH better when he was 70 than Bill does now.

10. Wow Keith's hands are so arthritic

Of course, he doesn't just have decades of drinking and drugging, he's been smoking all that time too. Smoking is terrible for your skin.

Clinton has rosacea. That's what causes all the redness.

9. or today?

11. I don't think he did.

When we met in '72 he seemed pretty straight-laced.

[woolldog]

13. Go on....

[coco77]

14. How about now

He is always foaming at the mouth.

[Ken Burch]

15. I can picture him being a cokehead in the Seventies and early Eighties.

That would explain at least some of the hyperaggressiveness.

[840high]

16. He does not smoke or drink.

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. And Trump would NEVER lie n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

17. People who did a lot of drugs in youth...

would appreciate it if you would not try to lay his blithering idiocy at our feet.

He seems to have come by it organically.

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. My bad. I was just speaking from personal experience

with my brother, who is emotionally stunted.

[B Calm]

18. Could be his problem that he never done drugs and that's why he so

screwed up. .

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. There are rumors he is perpetually hopped up on diet pills (phenphen)*

* Speed. You can google it !!!

[TexasBushwhacker]

21. Interesting

The fen of fenphen, fenfluramine, was taken off the market because it caused pulmonary hypertension and heart valve problems. Now they market a combo of phentermine (a stimulant) with topiramate (an anti seizure drug) called Qsymia.

Brand name topiramate is called Topamax and has the nickname Dopamax because it makes you "stupid". You forget things. You say things repeatedly.

I have personal experience with "Dopamax". I had to take it for a bad hand tremor. I would get lost going home. I would forget words. I was on a fairly low dosage. I didn't have the anoretic side effect though.

25. He SOUNDS like he's doing drugs RIGHT NOW!!!

[dubyadiprecession]

26. He has saved billions of dollars by not seeing a psychiatrist and not taking medication...

That is why he is so loony,yet still so rich.

[Dem2]

27. He's just a spoiled rich kid with delusions of grandeur

...and "small hands" syndrome.

A very simple person he is.

[ghostsinthemachine]

28. I hope not

For all of us who take drugs, and find them beneficial, if he did drugs, would blow it completely.
