Pierce: The President Is a Few Bulbs Short of a Chandelier
The President Is a Few Bulbs Short of a Chandelier
Trump melts down—and is cut off by the hosts of—Fox & Friends.

...Brian Kilmeade is one of the co-hosts of the Fox News Channel’s morning show, Three Dolts on a Divan. The president* watches this show every day because what else does he have to do, right? It was one of the Fox shows that created him as a viable national political figure, and one of the few shows anywhere completely committed to sustaining him as such. On Thursday morning, he called in, and, over the next several minutes, had what can be gently called an “episode.”
In no particular order, he threatened to bring the Justice Department under his personal control; praised his magnificent performance in office; defended his nominee to run the VA even though said nominee already had pulled his name from consideration; threw Michael Cohen overboard; admitted he had spent that fateful night in Moscow at the Miss Universe pageant; ranted about the crimes of James Comey, the perfidy of Jon Tester, and the rank dishonesty of the media; and explained to the nation that Abraham Lincoln had been a Republican, which, “people don’t realize.”
Has a president ever been cut off of an interview before? The president is not the author of a cookbook or a movie star pitching a movie. Interviews with the president end when the president wants them to. And what self-respecting newsman would bail out a president who so clearly was headed full speed off to the far suburbs of Crazytown?...
(By the way, one of the charges leveled against Dr. Ronny Jackson was that he dispensed various prescription meds as though they were M&M’s. One of these was modafinil, which Jackson allegedly doled out as a quick pick-me-up to various White House officials during long and exhausting overseas trips. Considering that the president* went about five minutes with the Fox morning crew before he came to a comma, I’m wondering if Jackson left the key to the medicine cabinet behind. I’m not saying, but I’m just saying…)

It's been called the 'real-life Limitless' drug, if you've seen that Bradley Cooper movie or TV series of same title.
obvs no drug could ever do what that fictional drug does but supposedly it does do a pretty good job getting the brain humming along.
Been wanting to try it actually 
It's not a particularly highly controlled drug, though it's Rx only, it's in the same class as like anti-depressants. IOW, Jackson could pretty freely write Rx's for the stuff under the flimsiest of pretexts and the DEA wouldn't come down on him for doing so.
Who knew?
