Notice when his cabinet of whores and house elves meet, each person must first praise the dear leader before spewing their particular brand of hatred and harm upon America.

Keep him drugged with flattery, meds and shiny gold tat.

But he's also, I believe, descending into dementia. Couple that with his narcissism (or before the diagnostic police jump in to correct me, his psycopathy), he might very well be incapable of focusing on anything but his grievances and self-aggrandizement. His handlers are cool with this: it keeps him occupied and out of their hair while they dismantle our country and sell it for parts.

He is an old sociopath. He is significantly "lower energy" than, say, when he ran for office in 2016. Even by the 2020 campaign, linguistic professor John McWhorter was pointing out that the felon's vocabulary was significantly reduced. Still, as a sociopath who had not reached a plateau (as some do), he still hates boredom and seeks excitement. Thus, he still has the periods that our friends here mistake for being substance-induced. If he was abusing substances, as anyone who has worked with that population in mental health knows, his path down hill would be distinct from what we have seen.

Now, Don Jr? Year, that boy snorts the white powder. Let us hope he does not encounter a line cut with fentanyl, for I do not think we could gather many "thoughts and prayers" if a fatal overdose took place.

That's not to say that he's not drugging himself, as he has been doing all along. Allegedly. Sniff, sniff, sniff... I'm not at all convinced that he's some kind of puppet. I think it's more a case that he's in charge, but he is rapidly deteriorating mentally, both from age/lifestyle, and a lifetime of alleged drug abuse. Add to that his whole cult, who are itching to commit violence. I strongly suspect those around him are limiting his public exposure out of fear him setting off those crazies, triggering an even bigger crisis than what they're dealing with now. They're also afraid of his cult, in general, and want to avoid having the loonies come after them, too.

80. Adderall gets a bad name
Fri Mar 28, 2025, 05:19 AM
Mar 28

for many reasons, but the biggest one is that it "speeds" you up, so to speak.
But, actually those who take it for ADHD or Narcolepsy, know that this is not true. In fact, Adderall helps us to keep our focus and allows that split-second, to think before we act or speak, along with many other great benefits. It's called the "paradox effect". I know, because I was diagnosed with ADHD many years ago as an adult. When I took that first ADHD med (tried several until the right one fit), I felt the fog clear and I could actually listen to a boring speech or conversation without my eyes rolling to the back of my head. As a Special ED teacher, I have seen amazing results with it when used correctly

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get on a soapbox. I just wanted to take a moment to give the med It's due.

I see no real issue with having it, though. To get the results we’re seeing here requires people who are evil, vindictive and highly intelligent. In other words, real-world copies of Hannibal Lector. Trump is two of the three.

It wouldn’t necessarily have to be drugs, but they’re doing something to keep him away from the people pulling levers. If Trump has a golf simulator in the White House, just having him spend his time with it would work.

It seems likely he is bought and paid for by a small group of oligarchs, maybe just 1-2.
They seem to have divided up the responsibility space in an unexpected way. I didn't think Trump would be in charge of anything, but it looks like this tariff project and undermining Ukraine are his. Otherwise, it's just torturing his enemies, and golf.

He does seem to be slipping down some slope. He's pretty loquacious still but seems out of the loop and delusional. Is it more than usual? Maybe.

The other members of the X-umvirate have got to be terrified. Probably the plan was to roll out Vance as successor if and when Trump had to leave but Vance is a discredited, no-charisma loser. 100 people will trample over him to seize the top job. The Trump family seems really low profile. It could be a really black day when he exits.

If they had found him in time, they might have been able to save his life. The doctors who finally examined him were terrified -- some had been questioned under torture regarding a supposed "Jewish doctors' plot".

Or maybe not. There are some who dispute this story, and suggest he may have been poisoned.

It turns out there have been some (relatively) recent discoveries about his death of which I was unaware -- we will probably never know.

It is hard to tell because he has been on different drugs for many years now. Remember that crazy doc and his wife coming on tv to say how healthy he was etc? I think that doc was one of his adderall suppliers. In addition he was obviously snorting something at his first insane hrc debate where he blathered non stop a bunch of mostly incoherent ravings. He sniffed through the whole thing and yet THE MEDIA never said a word about any of it.

Of late I thought he did look more subdued at times, it could be he is being drugged, the drugs he is already on, dementia/worsening health etc. and or a combo of all of these. Remember the crazy convo in the oval office with elunatic and x... x told him to shut the fuck up, you're not the president etc. He definitely was repeating what his father said in front of him imo.

I try to avoid watching psycho so I have only seen snippets here and there.
