Trump reportedly abuses Adderall

Just look him at the UN press conference, sweaty as fuck, red, agitated, unhinged... People were not laughing at him but with him. It takes one to know one.

Explains a lot.

Why did this take so long? And what happened to the apprentice tapes?

No, R1, they were laughing at him and with him and around him and just laughing from the minute he took the stage. I laugh every time I see him. He's a walking talking joke.

Gawker reported it in 2016, R3. And the rumors were around before that.

It's another case of a fact everyone pretty much knew but for whatever reason just forgot, didn't care about, didn't really process until suddenly it was put in front of them in a blunt news article like this.

What next, OP? Are you gonna tell me Lorna Luft was molested?!

If he'd stop abusing chocolate cake that adderall would take care of his figure.

If anything, he's not 'abusing' it, he needs to take it more consistently (but possibly in smaller doses). He clearly needs it, and I don't mean that in an insulting way.

I take adderall. It's a powerful tool that can help you with a lot of the problems caused by ADD/ADHD (it has literally changed my life in so many ways), but like all tools it can be abused. Abuse symptoms include: being up at night/odd hours, obsessing over singular details, run on, rambling speeches where you have one thing to say then think of a good but different point and bring that up and move on so on and so on. Sounds like Trump! Also: lack of appetite. Doesn't sound like Trump.

Because god forbid we should fucking insult Trump R8

R5 says a lot about us and about the press.

Is this why he snifs? And why can't he read?

One of the Gawker articles here

I was molested.

R13 And Hillary didn't use this?

Not nearly enough, Lorna.

r15, do you get a hard-on every time you type "Hillary"?

Just like Nixon

Hi, r8. You're right that he is possibly prescribed the drug appropriately, as it's indicated for the treatment of ADHD. However, it's my opinion that the behavior described by the Apprentice staffer of altering the drug by crushing it and snorting the contents constitutes abuse.

r18 You are the only one I've heard make the Nixon similarities. I don't know why more people aren't discussing this.

It explains the sniffing

I take medication for ADHD, and I've long suspected he takes some kind of stimulant.

I'm not sure he's actually abusing it hardcore, though. If he was seriously abusing adderall at 70-something, I would expect his behavior to be even more crazy and out of control. My bet is he has a high (but legal) dose prescribed to him for ADHD and perhaps he takes extra at certain times to perform "better".

Adderall doesn't make you sniff.

Between this and his fast food habit, how is his heart still beating?

I would think snorting anything would make you sniff, r23.

adderall made my psychotic so i believe it. what i don't get is how he is so fat still. i ate next to nothing while on adderall.

"I would expect his behavior to be even more crazy and out of control."

r22, how much crazier and out of control does he need to be?

I don't know why people crush adderall (IRs I assume, XRs would be difficult to crush). It's literally the same effect, just a quicker onset. And not really that much faster. Makes no sense to me.

R26 I take 30mg time-release Adderall every morning. I have for 5 years. It's been a life-saver. It took a few months to arrive at the right does, but once found, I've never had to deviate. The last thing I'd ever do is knowingly take more than prescribed. I took two by accident once, (I took the second because I absent-mindedly had forgotten I had taken the first). I got such an enormous headache I thought my head would explode. I've since taken precautions so that will never happen again.

Anyway, I have little appetite in the morning/afternoon, but force myself to start with a bowl of oatmeal and maybe a couple protein shakes later in the day. By 8pm, however, supposedly the Adderall has left my system and I'm famished! I could easily eat breakfast, lunch and dinner all after 8pm.

More speed and greasy cheeseburgers, please.

This claim was also made about the smirking idiot who let Cheney take over his presidency.

[quote] I thought my head would explode

Given that Trump constantly looks like is head is about to explode, you just exposed him.

Nah, Trump is too anti-drug to take anything like that. I've heard him say for years and years that he doesn't even take aspirin. I hate his guts but I can't say that I think he's really on anything.

[quote]Trump is too anti-drug

Trump is a pathological liar and a hypocrite. If he condemns be assured that he does it.

He strikes me as the type who's "against drugs" but rationalizes pills as OK because "they come from the doctor."

Holy shit. This guy obviously has an attorney friend who wants to be the next Michael Avenatti. Can you imagine *that* discovery if he gets sued over the NDA? Fuck, that was beautifully savage.

(On another note, this guy will never work in production again...)

r35 Exactly how I see it too. I mean, look at him. He is for sure prescribed SOMETHING, even if it's just a high blood-pressure prescription, and once you rationalize taking one thing you can rationalize anything the doctor writes you since you're "just arguing over the price" at that point.

sniff

I hope he ODs.

But he's a fat cunt! Eat more Big Macs please!

Anyone remembers that Elvis had been appointed as Mr. anti-drug by the Nixon administration?

If you have nothing, an NDA to take away your possessions doesn’t mean much. Surely someone on the apprentice is hitting bottom.

Well! Why am I not surpised?

R29, that must explain the late nite runs to McDonald's.

R29, what do you take Adderall for? You say it’s a life saver. I’m wondering if I need it. My boyfriend takes it for adult ADD, and I myself have problems focusing on projects and seeing them to completion.

R33 Nah, Trump is too anti-drug to take anything like that. I've heard him say for years and years that he doesn't even take aspirin. I hate his guts but I can't say that I think he's really on anything.

He promotes this, BUT ASK AROUND anyone who was a part of the club scene in the 80s 90s will tell you Trump did alot of Coke, A LOT.

If he does take it then it must be infrequently or he's stopped in recent years. Stimulants kill your appetite, no way would he be that fat.

It's bad for the heart.

I knew he was a dope fiend.

I've been saying this for a long time, he shows all the signs. After awhile, your body adjusts and you get your appetite back to normal.

My coke dealer in the ‘80s was obese and he did more coke than anybody.

For R44

PILLSH ISH TERRIF!

Trump says he's germophobic and still fucks porn star without protection. I don't believe a word he says.

Stimulates don’t always make you slim. Examples: Chris Farley and Jon Belushi.

*Stimulants

R49, to add yo your comment, it also depends on what you’re eating. Since Trump’s diet consists of 100% fast food, the Adderall would still keep him from visiting Dr. Now’s office.

Someone with a normal or healthy diet would be a lot skinnier than Trump. I was on prescribed low dose of Vyvanse for a year, and I had trouble maintaining my weight.

Funny how folks still buy his anti-drug stance as its proved he lies about everything.You want to believe a liar,thats your prerogative. The rest of us eye this President's reactions and know,its drug related.Which is disgusting for a person in "charge" of our country.

"drugs" to these people is illegal stuff, not the prescribed. This is why they've been so stupid around opioids.

[quote] [R15], do you get a hard-on every time you type "Hillary"?

I do. I was a hardcore hardon supporter since 2008. I truly am surprised that a drug habit of a cocaine addict of Studio was not blown out of the water on this issue.

The adderall could be for ADD, the junk food could be for anxiety or depression

Oh, puh-LEEZE, R36. He'll not only work in production again, he'll start booking on-camera gigs.

Do you know how many people in Hollywood DESPISE Trump?

Who's Addie Rall? How was she abused? Is she related to MGM dancer Tommy Rall?

Well, R61, "on-camera gigs" =/= "production." And regardless of how people feel about Trump, most celebrities, no matter how kind, probably won't want to risk having their personal peccadilloes used as fodder for a stand-up comic. Heck this *might* launch a comedy career, but if his presence is consistent with what I saw on this video, I doubt it. The most important part of this act are his revelations, not his delivery.

Tom Arnold has now commented on Casler's accusations. But considering how outspoken Arnold's been in the past, why the hell didn't he bring this up when Trump was sniffing and snorting through his debates. If all this cam out then, it *may* have saved us a world of hurt. I say "may," because there is no way to account for the stupidity of his supporters and the effect of Russian interference on the election.

Is that pronounced "Viv Vance", r56?

Not surprised he's on something for sure

Spy Magazine ran an article in 1992 about Trump and his brother ,who were patients of Dr.Joseph Greenberg...an endocrine guy who ran a pill mill out of NY.(the article is rebooted on twitter)

Greenberg is quoted as saying "Donald and Robert have a metabolic imbalance".....

Does his Adderall use explain his strange, zigzaggy signature? It looks like a seismograph during a magnitude 7 earthquake.

David Corn's twitter has the 92 article up

Trump and his brother were pill popping

If by “Adderall” he means “cocaine,” then I’d say that’s fairly obvious.

R35, yeah like Elvis.

Dr. Greenberg mentioned above was a well known "Dr. Feelgood." There were several. They were noted for giving their patients injections of speed while telling them they were getting vitamin or some other innocuous injections. Their patients swore by them.

Oh You all made Donny cancel WH Xmas party for the press.....laughs

Trump's going full Grinch....

[R71]

Wonder if Dr.Feelgood helped Trump's federal judge sister too?

Elvis was certainly a White House star while Nixon was there. He was enlisted to work with the FBI in secret, as a sort-of drug narc. Whether he actually did anything I don't know. It was hypocritical of course, since Elvis was deep into heavy drug use which led to his early demise.

As I remember it this WH connection just made Elvis even more uncool to the youth of the day.

[R74]

I liked Fat Elvis....that jiggling bloated body,and slurred lyrics really made him animated. Maybe its the look Tramp going for,Tramp should get sideburns and the rhinestone jumpsuit

Sorry I should qualify that Elvis approached the White House to act as an FBI agent.

Gawd Blesh The Yoonited Shtates Uv Uhmericaah!

Trump singing Heartbreak Hotel in a polyester jumpsuit with his belly protruding would be a riot.

But it DID come out and nobody cared.

You're forgetting how fucked up 2016 was. The media was letting Trump go on every single issue. It was constant attacks on Hillary, media literally lying about Bernie having more delegates and a higher chance than he ever did, and Trump sliding on all this stuff that should have been a huge flashing red alarm warning everyone that Trump was incompetent and dangerous.

People weren't listening. Nobody wanted to hear it.

I absolutely maintain that the problem was that the anti-HRC sentiment had been whipped up into a frenzy by the media, and that obsessed everyone to the point that they would ignore other really important news.

I notice [R79]...that on social media sites stories that are anti-Trump are bumped into oblivion by Conservative posters.As they seek to hide information about their candidate. Look how anti Obama stories just bumped this thread down to the bottom...#TeamTrump works 24/7

No, that would be the illiteracy, R67.

I actually know a guy who used to do this. Interestingly enough, he was HUGE.

Anyhow, he would get his Adderall legally via a prescription, and then he’d crush it up in some little pill grinder apparatus, & snort it. He also snorted coke regularly.

He had incoherent thought processes, and was really paranoid. He was and is actually a really decent guy.

Regardless of his party habits, he ate constantly, and never turned down a meal.

He eventually switched to pot only, and has gotten even bigger than before.

I find it hard to believe that Trump would allow others to watch him snort anything. But certainly he's on something.

What about his occasional slurred speech? Does too much A cause this?

But can you use the pills for this long?

Bump for original thread

R29, when oatmeal leaves your stomach it takes everything with it. Grabs and clings to all. It makes you famished after digesting. Like having a stomach ulcer.

[quote]I hope he ODs.

Yeah, we all do, Rose — now get back in the kitchen.

[quote]Does too much A cause this?

Yes, too much Anal absolutely does.

Just pray Trump doesn't switch to Concerta/Ritalin/methylphenidate. If you think he's angry, obsessive, and vindictive now on Adderall, methylphenidate is a thousand times worse in that dep't.

I was more productive & got more done in the past when I took Concerta... but goddamn, I was a TOTAL asocial asshole on it and borderline-OCD. With Adderall, I'm a lot nicer & don't latch onto things quite as hard. Not quite as focused... but on Concerta, I'd just latch onto *anything* that pissed me off & go into an enraged feedback loop over it until the Concerta wore off. With Adderall, it's rare (and usually, justified).
