When he mentioned the Valium to come down with, my first thought was Elvis. Elvis had a daily regimen of uppers and downers that killed him early.

The combination of narcissism and certain drugs make Trump believe he's indestructible. That WILL lead to an overdose. He may not make it to November and it will be too late to change the ballots.

Personally I think all this talk of the fucker being so ill, etc etc is pretty silly.

"He's dragging his left leg - stroke!"
"His pupils are dilated - adderall! Speed! Cocaine!"
"He couldn't lift his arm - heart attack!"
"He jerked his shoulders - dementia!"

He looked "well" on Sunday at Daytona. Fox sports interviewed him and I was extremely disappointed at how "approaching decent" he was.

So apparently he eats 10 Big macs a day, a lot of ice cream, takes drugs and downers.

Whatever's wrong with him, won't affect him to the point a lot of people (myself included) keep hoping.

It's all just wishful thinking.

People can drag their feet. People can in a short 20 second video not use an arm. People can jerk their shoulders, forget stuff.

The whole point is that we're super mega exaggerating every little thing he does and it's pretty silly. Anybody would be dead if all the stuff that gets said about the mother***** about his health were true.

Mon Feb 17, 2020, 01:57 PM
Feb 2020

Nearly 5 million that voted for him in 2016 will be dead. Rounded up from 4.8. That is 7.6% of the votes in 2016.

The rest of the votes will be peeled off that are not part of his cult that voted for him in 2016. There are (ex) Republicans that don't want anything to do with Trump. And in some cases don't want anything to do with Republicans again. Either they won't vote or they will vote for the Democratic candidate or someone else.

If someone that voted for Trump and won't again. It is a plus 1 vote for us if they don't for anyone or for someone other than a Democrat. It is a plus 2 vote for us if vote for the Democratic candidate.

Then there are Republicans that are now in prison and can't vote. Or if they haven't been sentenced are unlikely to vote.

His huge ego is even worse because a lot of it is coke fueled. Coke makes a lot of people, if not the majority who use it, feel like they are God. Add that to how much people kiss Trump's ass and make him feel like he is above reproach and you get the more obnoxious than usual Trump we see today. He is worse than ever RIGHT NOW. The DEA should raid the freaking White House and cuff the fucker.

They live longer than Democrats, it seems. Look how old Thurmond and Helms were. They are not the only ones. I would love for someone good at statistics and research to actually check out just the recent statistics alone. In recent years, it really does seem that way.

I think they live the extra decade or so longer just to spite their enemies. Their willful stupidity and cold-heartedness alone make them thrive. These are people who refuse to evolve based on the fact that they do not believe in evolution in the first place. Somehow, they manage to not evolve at all. If anything, they are devolving. They pride themselves on that stubbornness and cold heartedness and willful stupidity(and sometimes willful ignorance).

That's all I have. I do not really know the answer to your question, but I have been wondering about it for a couple of decades now. That was all I could see different other than the fact that a lot of the most extreme right wingers tend to have more money and can afford top notch healthcare (or will cheat the system to get it like a lot of them do where I live), whereas a lot of Democrats can't always afford quality healthcare. I think maybe that is a factor too. I wish they hadn't gutted the ACA like they did. Maybe poorer Democrats could live longer too then.

In the meantime, 73 makes him a spring chicken in the extremist right winger world. He probably has at least 20 to 30 years to go, before he even needs to worry about his horrible habits catching up to him. He has money. Doctors can patch him up. He also has that unchecked spitefulness. That just feeds right wingers and makes them stronger. They really are like horror movie villains, imo.

Notice how languid his speeches in foreign countries are.

Now compare that to his rallies, and debates, in the US.

He's probably not able, or willing, to take coke with him overseas.

Mon Feb 17, 2020, 12:59 PM

Twenty years ago, when I spent some of my mis-spent youth in Miami, I used a lot of coke. It absolutely gives you a feeling of power. It makes perfect sense Trump would be a user of coke and other uppers that would do that for him. It goes along perfectly with his constant need for approval and control.

But I’ve always thought the same about Hollywood people. Ones that have done public stints In rehab. They slip and go back at it for years but somehow manage to bounce back. I guess what I think is that when you are filthy rich you can afford the best care. There are all sorts of things rich users can do to bounce back, like going into a induced coma to allow doctors to wean them off whatever they are addicted to. Never thought about it at the time but something like that could explain his trip to Walter Reed. But it would take a huge conspiracy of silence among everyone around him. Of course that would be real likely with him. Especially once he is president. Even conscientious people might go along with the coverup not wanting to let the world see that we’ve elected a raging drug addict.

38. The body gets used to the drugs and it's amazing
Mon Feb 17, 2020, 02:25 PM
Feb 2020

how many drugs a habitual user can ingest. As a home health nurse I’ve come upon elderly people who have been taking buckets of meds for decades because they have been under the care of a variety of specialists, and none of the drugs get discontinued if their primary doc isnt paying attention. One dose from their med cup would put me in a coma.

His slurring and sniffing and all the other symptoms are imo very much drug related. I am surprised that he doesn’t have tardive dyskinesia, although at times it appears that it might be soon coming.

When I finally had surgery, due to my high tolerance I was on a lot in the hospital. My surgeon told me if he took the amount I was taking it would kill him. Thank God I am off them but thank God they were there when I needed them. I worry that that current anti drug hysteria will keep people who need them from getting them.

Republican operatives and their Russian disinformation specialists have damaged opponents with not only with hearsay, but with outright LIES, like Hillary Clinton running a child-sex ring in the basement of a pizza parlor.

ANYTHING that could damage Trump is worthwhile, considering the stakes. And Adderall addiction isn’t that much of a leap. Many of us on DU have guessed it all along. Spread it far and wide, let the media pick it up and run with it.

Feb 2020

And now...Ivanka. The plastic, fake-throaty voice, daughter wife.

"If you are scared of Trump, you should be terrified of Ivanka. I think she's the brains behind the operation. I've seen her manipulate him. It's all an act. Down to that phony voice she uses. That's a put on. That's how he likes her to sound. Her real voice is a lot lower and she curses like a sailor...she's engineering herself to take over. Ivanka wants to rule us all someday and I'm not being...it's not just hyperbole....she wants her face on money....so people should be very worried about her."
Anyone paying attention can see that not only does Donald Trump view his daughter as his one and only true love, but he truly does see her as the perfect woman, and the ONLY woman who should take over for him. His sons are always living in Ivanka's shadow. And poor Tiffany doesn't even count in Trump's eyes.
