Related: About this forumRumor: Doctor Prescribes Donald Trump "Cheap Speed"
Back in December, Donald Trumps personal doctor declared to the world that Trump would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency. While that particular claim is unfalsifiable (although almost certainly incorrect), according to a source with knowledge of Trumps current prescriptions, that letter isnt telling the whole story. Most notably: Donald Trump is allegedly still taking speed-like diet pills.
Rumors of Trumps predilection for stimulants first started really popping up in 1992, when Spy magazine wrote, Have you ever wondered why Donald Trump has acted so erratically at times, full of manic energy, paranoid, garrulous? Well, he was a patient of Dr. [Joseph] Greenbergs from 1982 to 1985. At the time, Dr. Greenberg was notorious for allegedly doling out prescription stimulants to anyone who could pay.

I think that the theory is very plausible. Maybe he's not nuts. Maybe he's just an addict.

All derivatives of speed used to be prescribed regularly as a diet drug.

Cheap or not, it's far from unusal to employ Dr Everything's Gunna Be Alright

in vain hopes it would promote an exaggerated youth.
Nothing online for me to bolster this rumor, so it's just that.
