Donald J. Trump has regularly accused his political opponent, President Joe Biden, of being cognitively impaired to the point of being unfit for the office of the White House. But that might be pure projection, if you take into account what one psychologist said on Saturday.Trump over the weekend sp...

    And the prolonged use of drugs, for his entire life, but also specifically during his presidency.

        Lots has been coming out about the pharmacy at the white house during Dolt 45.

        Mostly amphetamines and opiates.

        “The White House Medical Unit dispensed prescription medications, including controlled substances, to ineligible White House staff,” said the report, which was released this month.

        The unit also kept records for Schedule II drugs — such as fentanyl, hydrocodone, morphine and oxycodone — in the same inventory that housed records for other medications, according to the report, even though federal regulations require them to be kept separate.

        Allegedly insider(s) at the Whitehouse during his term have claimed that the medical staff kept a smorgasbord of stimulants readily available for easy access. Prescription drugs like Adderall.

        Honestly haven’t looked at the reliability of the claims. I believe they were allegedly staffers and medical personnel who made these claims IIRC, but I don’t know if anyone actually went on the record.

            I think that was actually what was alleged. My brain interprets that as Adderal, but there’s a range of pharmaceuticals that I really don’t know much about so I kind of lump them together.

            I’m sure you could find the actual claims on reputable news sites easily, I just don’t have time to sift through them atm. I’ve heard the claim many times

              I’m saying it would be on-brand that they even half-ass doing speed. I consider Adderall as 3/4-assing. Very Trump like altho his 2/1-fat-ass 0/1-asses things, 1/2-ass is the max for his ilk
