Is Donald Trump using drugs?

[IronWing]

Or 3 double packs of Q-tips from Costco. CRS is a bitch.

You've been peeping into my bathroom again? 😛 Seriously, I bought a triple pack of Q-tips from Costco about ten years ago and I'm only half way through the second box.

his desk drawer looks better than my medicine cabinet.

Mine too. I recall that old adage that went something like "Neat desktop, messy desk drawer". Trump's desktop and drawer being both relatively neat has violated that construct, thus compelling me, with tongue in cheek, Perry Mason wig in place and coiffed to perfection, to cobble together a set of conspiracy theories, all of them surrounding the idea that certain deep state agendas were in play.

Sudafed is OTC speed. If you don't take more than 1 every 4 hours you probably won't really feel any different. If you take 2 at once, you will likely notice a tingling sensation on the back of your neck and feel extra happy and energetic, but not out of control or anything. I've also noticed that even a single pill drastically increases my tolerance for alcohol. Take 2 before going out drinking and you'll be able to drink all night without getting tired and it will take much more to get sloppy than normal.

So you are also a meth head? 😛 LOL

Unfortunately there is no drug for narcissism.

Cyanide maybe? 😛

Bipolar does not cause dilated pupils.

What exactly is your role in healthcare, because dilated pupils absolutely can be caused by certain medications used for bipolar disorder.

Specifically tricyclics, which while no longer commonly used, could very well be part of an established treatment plan for someone his age.

You may also see pupil dilation in an acute manic phase due to increased sympathetic tone, but at that level of mania I’d expect even more bizarre behaviors than we’ve seen.

This seems a loaded question and i am hesitant to answer primarily due to how it can be perceived, but i will be the first to tell anyone i do not have the breadth and depth of medicine memorized. No one does. Anyone who claims such is either lying or selling you something. This is why we specialties including pysch, cardiology, orthopedics and so forth.

Furthermore, new information is researched daily including new medications, physiology and treatment methods. Every year there are dozens of new medications and not only this new regulations are developed quarterly.

So, having said that, can bipolar cause dilated pupils, yes. It apparently can and i did not know that before. Thank you. I learned something new and I do strive to keep up with my knowledge base regularly.

Somebody noted that Trump is a teetotaler. This is what Trump himself says. The story behind it is about watching his older brother succumb to alcoholism. But if Trump says he's a teetotaler, it's one more thing from his mouth that you either can't believe, or which still leaves you feeling clueless.

Take his remarks about religion. He says he is "well churched". Then he says he goes to church and has his "LITTLE wine and his LITTLE wafer". I think that Dennis Kasich figured this out with the same delayed reaction that I did. It's a slight to Catholicism, Anglicans, Episcopalians and others that hold the Eucharistic Sacrament in high regard. And we know that his father had been arrested during a KKK demonstration in the 1920s against Catholics. Yet, Trump is really not a church-goer.

During the 2016 campaign, he was asked how much he pays in taxes. He stated that he "pays as little as possible". Right away, I suspected that he's a tax cheat, and this was before the NYT and other investigative sources laid bare the history of tax fraud beginning with Fred Trump and continuing with Donald and his spawn. IF he had said "I pay what I owe," you couldn't easily suspect that he might be a tax fraud.

So I can't say whether he abuses Sudafed, or Meth, or Cocaine or anything else. I can say it's highly possible. You would think, however, that it might have come to light by now in some discovery of his sources. Somebody might have said something to give it away. But who knows?

As for drinking, I believe there is documented evidence that refutes his own remarks about it, perhaps videotape.

Narcissists in the disordered category always have addiction problems. David Atlee Phillips was a cigarette addict. I've been a cigarette addict. In fact, I'm probably a sex addict.

Trump is most certainly a sex addict.

Ask Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal and several dozen other women.

And if anything -- he's addicted to the celebrity spotlight. That's why, when the news cycle is uncomfortable for him, he schedules all those rallies with his lunatic space-alien base in the red hats. Just like I might have a stiff drink or a good Prop-64 cannabis hit after getting too angry about Trump.

Goes with my long term never trust anyone that wont get drunk with you thing!

Well, there's "use" and there's "abuse". But it should be evident to any discerning individual by now that the Prez is an extremely disordered personality. I mentioned Dave Phillips -- you can only infer from Richard Helms' memoir that at least a few CIA people regretted hiring Phillips in 1950. Helms noted that there was a dearth of psychologists for screening recruits in 1950, and it should be obvious that The Donald would never have been allowed to work for the agency -- never.

What I cannot understand is "The Base". How can they ignore Trump's severe shortcomings? How is it that they think the rest of us are merely slinging mudballs of psycho-babble at their great hero? That we observe all these things just because we "hate" their man or that we're merely concocting these characterizations as political warfare?

I don't understand it. It's enough to make me pop open another Bud Lime Light and chug it down.

Without an order of Taquitos on the side . . . . [I think I'm going to run out for some carry-out now . . .]
