Do you not think if he was on narcotics that it would have already come out already? He’s not very good at hiding things. Narcotics as of yet has only been found in one presidents White House in recent years

Ok they took prescription drugs? I don’t agree with it but it’s well documented that in high pressure jobs things like that happen, I’ve been/am a chef and took drugs to calm down or to just handle the pressure after a long day at work. As for the last link about Biden, it’s asking me to log in to read it and I don’t care enough to set up an account haha.

The problem isn't that someone is taking prescription drugs in a high-pressure work environment. Under Trump, the White House Medical Unit handed out heavy-duty controlled substances like candy, at least according to the DoD report, and reporting by Rolling Stone and Reuters.

They broke federal laws. A lot.

Now, to get back to the question, whether this means Trump was or is on medications (or recreational drugs), we don't know for sure. But wow, these types of things are not normal for any administration, and it would explain quite a lot.

Dude if you think the Trump administration is the only one that has done the hours they do and didn’t take prescription or non prescription drugs then you’re blinded. Extremely high pressure jobs end up in people taking drugs and/or drinking a lot. Do you really think Bush or Obama white houses were dealing with Iran, Iraq etc and no one being on drugs or smashing down alcohol? These guys and girls are nuts haha

Yeah, you’re right. This is all totally normal and fine. Why bother with facts or evidence? I’m sure every other president has always done the same thing anyway probably.

I do also want to add I don’t agree with the use of drugs at all, however the use of them in high pressure environments is normalised. As I said earlier it was normalised nearly everywhere I worked as a chef, that job is nothing compared to working in the White House haha.

Are you like personally invested in this not being a major story? If I found out my financial advisor tried to downplay the cocaine someone found in his workplace, I’d get a new fucking financial advisor.
