    Speaking of Trump’s health, I have a theory that he is going to negotiate a way out of the nomination with the RNC, and that the method they will agree to will be a “health crisis”.

    I mean let’s not forget he’s nothing but a con man, and he needs to get out of this thing before the jig is up and his mark(s) catch on that he’s a fraud. He can’t quit, that’s for losers. The RNC can’t take it away from him, or the party will implode and there would potentially be riots.

    The only way he can get out on top as a “winner”, a right wing legend who beat the system, who will forever be able to claim “I would have won easily”, while also not causing the party to revolt against the RNC, would be a fake health crisis.

    He could even fake being rushed to the hospital. His followers will be crying in the streets. And when he emerges a few months later ready to launch his new media company, he’ll be greeted as a mythical folk hero.

      I predict a riot, no matter what happens.

      He’s not going to negotiate his way out of the nomination. This is all playful thinking. It’s not going to happen. He’s going to be the nominee. There’s a better chance that he’s president a year from now than that he bails.

    Cheap speed? When did we get so politically correct? Just say meth.*

    and delusions of grandeur

    False or unusual sense of well-being

    Confusion

    Well, that explains it, then.

      Yes, I read the headline an thought, “Well of course!” My only reservation about believing this is Trump’s physique, he doesn’t look like a speed freak, in fact, he looks like he likes his lunch. Probably a rich diet, too. On the other hand, my father, rest his soul, was a devotee of physician-prescribed “diet pills” such as Preludin and Desbutal back in the ’60s, and he was built pretty much like Trump, come to think of it. Erratic, too...

      Since he’s a showman who’s made a living off wrestling-style kayfabe, you can’t really tell where the put-on ends and the sincere begins with Trump from his general affect.

      The real giveaway to see his stimulant use, though, is how strong his startle reflex has been. Here, in GIF form:

    Cheap speed? That’s a rumor. I only use the best, classiest speed. Expensive stuff. Because I can afford it. It gives me energy. Unlike those low energy losers I beat in the primaries. Could have used some help. Maybe I should introduce them to my doctor. Great guy. Best doctor out there. Says I’m the healthiest person to ever run for president. That’s the kind of greatness he is. Say, is that a Mexican plane overhead?

      I was just thinking—the thing that is going to bother Trump and his supporters the most about this article is that it’s “cheap” speed. And that is simultaneously the detail that makes it most plausible.

    I honestly assumed he was a functioning victim of early dementia. I’m not being a wise guy, it’s what I’ve assumed for months.

    But speed would be a good hedge against strokes, right? I assume it would act as something of a blood thinner. Again, that's a serious question on my part.

      Sure, maybe it thins your blood, but it’s hard on your heart so you’re more apt to have a heart attack.

      It sounds much more fun than my methylphenidate prescription. For that, you just have to tell the Dr. that you are easily distracted and cannot concentrate.

    • Insomnia
    • Nervousness

      In that it pertains to Donald Trump which means there are victims to this side effect. Incidentally, when I read that line I thought “Why do I need the mental image of this clown with an increased libido?!

    He’s had delusions of grandeur since he came out of the womb. The rest of it I can buy though.

      Came out of the womb? You’re far too generous. Sperm Donald probably shouted “loser” at the other sperm on his way to the egg.
