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

I wish my job had a doctor on staff handing out drugs...

Granted

Now everyone is on copious amounts of antidepressants.

From what I can tell, a lot of jobs are already like that. It's almost like society isn't designed to make people happy 😑

Explains a lot.

You obviously didn’t read what you are responding to

But the report is from the pentagon

Trump is pretty well known for being sober

[–] theamigan@lemmy.dynatron.me 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What? He shits himself because his bowel control is destroyed from all the coke he used to do.

I'm not certain it was. He is indeed well known for abstaining from alcohol because of his brother, Fred Jr.

[–] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He was well known for abusing amphetamines, though.

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

And I believe that was circa 2015 or 2016. And drug abusers are kinda known for gradually escalating their usage

Just like his hero!
