        Some people lack a sense of smell. They often have an offensive odor. Since I find what these people say offensive its no stretch at all to believe they really stink.

            Why would he snort Sudafed when he had access to real drugs? Sudafed can act as a simulant but it’s a very rough “high”, more comparable to drinking too much coffee than a party drug.

              From what I’ve previously read, a young Trump had a close family member (I wanna say Uncle) die from drug abuse, specifically cocaine and alcohol, and he had to watch this guy spiral all the way down. Trump swore to stay away from drugs and booze after that, but I think it just scared the shit out of him. Plus, he had that drawer that was suspiciously full of “the good” sudafed.

                No, he was very much face-down-in-the-coke-pile for awhile. His production assistant says he has a scar on the side of his nose from repairing his blown-out septum, which is one reason he slathers all that greasy paint on his face.

                David Cay Johnston notes that the helicopter service trump rented to fly between NY and Atlantic City was based out of Miami for a reason.

                Trump’s casinos retained Weichselbaum’s firm to fly high rollers to Atlantic City. Weichselbaum was indicted in Ohio on charges of trafficking in marijuana and cocaine. . . . Weichselbaum, who in 1979 had been caught embezzling and had to repay the stolen money, pleaded guilty to two felonies.

                Donald Trump vouched for Weichselbaum before his sentencing, writing that the drug trafficker is “a credit to the community” who was “conscientious, forthright, and diligent.”. . . In seeking early release, Weichselbaum said Trump had a job waiting for him.

                Ya boi knows a rail of coke when he sees it.

                  Fair. I can’t claim to be an expert on trump drug use. I’m going off a blurb I remember hearing somewhere, but I can’t attribute or verify.

                  Trump is also known to lie on occasion.

        We can only dream of things being so bad for the campaign that this would be a planted story.
