Do we have a drug addict running the country?

Seriously! trump, sniffs, has dry mouth, has addict like mood swings, makes no sense, doesn't acknowledge reality, lies all the time. Why is the decision to remove trump only a political one? We need a board of M.D.'s to evaluate and report on the Pres's health, both mentally and physically. No more Dr. Feelgood reports. The Commander in Chief needs to be fully fit. I am so sick of the fact that no one is doing anything about trump's clearly poor mental capacity.

It seems as though all his aides try their darndest to cover it up. He is definitely unfit, health-wise.

Isn't he supposed to have a physical pretty soon? I wonder what kind of fairy tale report we'll hear from his doctor.

Mood swings, making no sense, not acknowledging reality - saw that all with my mom.

He needs to be fully evaluated by a board certified geriatric neurologist.

Sun Jan 27, 2019, 02:42 PM

so of course they will protect tRump. He is their dream president. Not very bright, does what they want such as tax cuts for the wealthy. He wants to destroy Social Security and Medicate, Food Stamps and other social programs. He came with a large bonus - money from Russia. The gop grabbed that with both hands, and now are desperately trying to cover up what they did. Too late, we already know. The rules need to be changed. Anyone running for president needs to show tax returns, have a physical and mental examination by an independent board of physicians. No relatives as advisors, or cabinet members. The Emolument Clause must be followed to the letter. Never make another disasterous mistake like this totally unfit clown in the WH.

But, absolutely I believe the GOP would attempt to profit and exploit what ever cognitive shortcomings trump* is developing.

I think what is really running against them, this time, is an incredibly motivated and energized body of Democratic legislators.
If 2020 sees a take over of the White House, Senate and House, maybe there is some hope for repairing the damages being inflicted by this vile, greedy mob of self-interested miscreants.

There should be a monthly test of cognition and loyalty to the constitution.

I don't care that much about drugs if the first two are adhered to.

While I was watching Giuliani's interview the other day, I was thinking he had been sneaking some of Cheetoh's Adderall. They probably keep a candy jar full of it in the oval.

I think his left tear duct is blasted from all the coke he snorted in the 90's. His left pupil gets dilated more than his right. If he isn't doing Adderall, he is doing some other amphetamine.

definitely been forced into evaluation by now or be basically fired. He's an extremely powerful person as president and it seems it is totally hands off about his physical and mental condition. I think it's very dangerous.

Does he take speed? Maybe, sure, a little, but he's not appreciably different than he was during the campaign.

He sniffed during the debates. He made zero sense during the debates. He conned and bullshitted and bullied during the debates. He has one act, and that's it.

The key difference now is that his act has worn thin. It's exposed. No one is fooled by his bullshit any more.

OK, my Dad and Aunt and Uncle and Cousins are...

Drugs, Dementia, just plain nuts? I don't know, but that story about the women with taped faces in Vans at border proves he's Bat shit Crazy.

Has his behavior been so nutty that people can no longer react to what he says that makes no sense or is outright lies?

Let's get him gone!
