One is a compulsive liar, a braggart, and sometimes violent. He's been fired from multiple jobs because he lies about his training and experience and just won't be told anything because he thinks he knows better. When Trump came on the political scene, I said to my sons, oh my god, he's a Brian. It's not the ADHD, he's a broken person.

The whole point of this interview was to talk about whether or not Trump is using drugs. The doctor notes his dilated pupils which would indicate he's used stimulants. If he has ADHD that could potentially help with that. I imagine that IF Trump has ADHD is likely he doesn't know it. His reasons for using stimulants are for other reasons. He's projecting by accusing Biden of using. Trump has personality disorders, possibly ADHD, and has other health issues as well. At 78 years old it's safe to say we will all have problems with our health. I also see Frontotemporal Dementia and have been watching his dementia worsen as the months go by. He will not be able to function at the level that's required of a president. We've got to keep him out of office. I believe he won't make it in because he's simply too ill and too incompetent to do it. Please, vote BLUE. Save our country we all dearly love. I will be voting absentee because my health doesn't allow me to wait in long lines due to a very bad back, but I am voting. Blessings to all who love our country and our way of life. We together have the power to protect our freedom. Vote 🗳.

Trump couldn’t function at the level required to be President last time around. Whether or not he’s suffering cognitive decline or any other mental changes since 2016, he’s not qualified. Any cognitive decline is just making an unqualified person _more_ unqualified.

@DH-gk8vh Bless you, feel better, stay well.💐 We have been voting absentee since Covid. My husband just passed away, and while at the VA, which shares the building with the Board of Elections, we had another special election. I voted early, not having known about it, so I was happy to vote in person and get it done. I remarked on the new machines-they were new to me. The poll worker must have thought I was clueless; she smiled and said, "We've had these for years." I said, "I never miss voting," and realized as I walked to the car... how long it's been since we voted in person. As I vote, in my heart I am casting both out votes...hubby was anxious to vote in November, I know he will cast his in Heaven.∞🗳💙💙💙

As someone with ADHD here - spot-on regarding how Adderall is actually an asset that shouldn’t be stigmatized. Got diagnosed as an adult and it changed my life. I had also suspected for years that Trump had ADHD based on the way he carried himself, spoke in public, and rarely followed through on things. Also, we should be careful to not conflate his obvious ADHD with the things that actually disqualify him from office - bad ideas, authoritarian bent, narcissism, etc. …also snorting Adderall is not a legit way to take the medication

Snorting Adderall can cause serious health problems, including high body temperature, heart problems, seizures, aggression, paranoia, and psychosis.1 Snorting can also result in Adderall overdose2 and potentially hasten the development of an addiction.5 Under NO circumstances should a doctor promote snorting adderal, ESPECIALLY publicly. PLUS, Tampering with the drug in this way can produce more powerful high with a rapid onset that may be both dangerous and more likely to quickly lead the user down the path of addiction.
