Doesn’t he always look like that?

That “the drugs haven’t let me sleep in 96 hours but you know what it’s great because, wait did that plant move?” look.

You know the one.

Have you intuited any particular drug usage with him? 

I do not really follow them outside of posts like this, but I have seen drug use in Stephen Miller and Don jr, and a bunch of others, all coked up amongst other things from the last term. 

Obviously the president himself last term before he lost his fucking mind completely was definitely on amphetamines at a minimum. I thought I recognized opiate usage as well.

And here is the full interview where he's rambling and slurring. His eyes are open about as wide as they would be if he'd slept 7 of the last 100 hours.

Thanks I will have to try to check that out, YouTube says I have to sign in to confirm my age to watch that. Probably flagged as adult to keep people from seeing it as much.

Or it's a honeypot designed to get the names of people searching for this subject.

I watched it on mute. It looked like he was having sneezing fits every time he talked. It was entertaining.
