I am avoiding linking to the Fox article so as to not send them traffic. Can’t make this stuff up.

    It’s because of the report that came out recently that showed trumps doctor was called “the candy man”, who handed out uppers and downers by the handfuls to White House staff.

    I’m pretty sure this is fairly common for folks working in the White House, but apparently under Trump the drug usage was especially egregious

      Is this a real report from a reputable source? I hear a lot of accusations about his alleged drug abuse but I’ve never seen proof.

      Trust me I have a long list of critiques of that garbage human being. But I don’t want to be parroting unproven things.

      Edit: found some interesting stuff but to be clear this seems to be a WH problem that got worse under Trump but existed under Obama. Of course a now-GOP Congressman likely started it because…well, that’s the republicans for you. Anyway that’s not evidence trump was popping pills all the time, but it’s still bad overall that this was happening.

        There’s a Cinco de mayo (2016?) photo of trump in his home office where in the background is a drawer open containing a British allergy medication. A med that is illegal in the USA because it contains amphetamines. Suspicious at best
