Wouldn't be surprised if he was snorting coke with Roy Cohn at Studio 54 back in the day. The reason he went to uppers is because they are a semi-legit version of the same high if you have the right doctor. Don't have to worry about being traced to a street dealer with those.

According to the American Addiction Centers, the side effects of Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) addiction are...

Insomnia (tweeting at all hours)
Dizziness (trouble going down stairs)
Hallucinations (don't get me started...)
Excitability (ya think?)
Dilated pupils
Urinary retention
Nervousness and anxiety
Hypertension (causing sweatiness)
Skin reactions (covered by half-assed bronze cream?)

I don't believe Trump is abusing Sudafed for a "high", I believe he has to use a ton of Sudafed to combat side effects of snorting adderall. Obviously no one knows for sure, but if the guy is snorting Adderall--as so many who worked with him on TV shows have alleged--then I'd think Sudafed would be too mild.

Side Effects of Snorting Adderall

Adderall can lead to serious physical and mental side effects, especially when taken in ways other than prescribed, such as snorting. Side effects of misusing Adderall include:

Anger and hostility.
Paranoia.
Psychosis.
High body temperature.
Irregular heartbeat.
High blood pressure.
Decreased sleep.
Decreased appetite.
Poor nutrition.
Seizures.
Stroke.

Snorting stimulants can also severely damage the nose. Snorting Adderall may cause side effects similar to snorting cocaine, such as

Impaired sense of smell.
Recurring nose bleeds.
Congestion and runny nose.
Difficulty swallowing.
Nasal crusting.
Chronic sinusitis and/or sinus infections.
Nasal septum damage.

I find his presentation irritatingly rambling, and often entirely speculative. I'd like to be warned before I click one links for his videos. Thank you.

It takes seconds to reverse course.

medication is drowsiness. Sudafed is for relief from head congestion, sinus pain and pressure, and common cold symptoms. It does indeed contain low levels of some of the precursors used in making speed, but by itself does not have that effect on people.
