Howard Dean under fire for alleging Trump cocaine use at debate - CNN

I think it is totally possible.  He runs with that type of crowd in his private world.  He has said he has never done drugs but he say's a lot of things doesn't he?  I worked with a coke addict and he snorted in the same way.

@Chosen Daughter

I attributed the snorting to nerves as I had not seen that behavior from him until the debate, but I could be wrong.

We all have abilities and I'm sure you do, too, so I'm honored to know you, too.  You were brave to have the stomach surgery - I would have a hard time making that decision.   

I did it for my parents. If they weren't here I would not have gotten it. The side effects are awful and not printable.

The smell of desperation hangs heavy in NeverTrump Central.

Keep throwing crap against the wall, Mr. Nut. Your hands get dirty and the shit just drips back down onto your head.

Almost as crazy as saying Hillary has Parkinson.

But Trump's a NY liberal...

By jove you've got it. I knew you'd come around sooner or later.

@Victoria33 I have actually seen it a lot.  I think it is just a "tick" as many folks have...He seems to take a deep, nasal breath when he is trying to gather his thoughts.  It annoys me to no end!

Your sleep deprivation story was so interesting.  I'm glad I came back to this thread and was able to read it.  What a great thing you did for that patient.

I've often wondered about the sleep thing with Donald.  I knew it was not normal and, in fact, was dangerous to his mental and physical health.  His admirers think it is a virtue.

With his refusal to use alcohol because of his worship of his own body, I would be amazed if he would take drugs but I guess it's possible.

He's also strange about his eating habits.  Why would a wealthy man eat only fast food?

Trump is a champion Truffle hunter.  He was practicing his snorts for the Tuscany Florence Hunt.   He is the best swine in the field this year.

A brain needs two types of sleep to reset itself and that takes a number of hours.  If you don't sleep, you die, that is a proven fact.  In my opinion, Trump does not/cannot not (whichever is true) sleep enough hours for his brain to rejuvenate itself.  This could be the cause of his ever running mouth, speaking in disjointed words, seldom speaking a complete sentence.  He also can't seem to control his facial expressions and they are fairly gross. 

The Texas Rehabilitation Commission sent me a young lady who couldn't sleep except in about 5 minute automatic naps she couldn't control, she would just drop off to sleep, then wake up after those minutes.  They sent her to me, a medical psychotherapist, psychological examiner, to find out why she was not sleeping normally.  They wanted to help her get a driver's license and help find her a job, but since she was not sleeping normally and dropping off to sleep, it wasn't safe for her to get a driver's license and drop off to sleep while driving.

I had her tell me of her life up to that point.  The third time she came to me, she told me about her father.  He had hanged himself in a public park and she thought she had caused that (which she did not).  He was buried too far away for her to go to that cemetery.  That caused me to ask her to describe her bedroom.  She had turned her bedroom into a cemetery and was afraid to sleep because he might appear in her bedroom/cemetery.  She kept the bedroom curtains closed - there was a vase with silk flowers on her dresser along with his picture.

I told her she had turned her bedroom into a cemetery and she said, "You think you are smart, don't you?"  I said, "Yes."  Then, I asked her to take the vase of flowers out of her room.  She said, "I can't, or I would die."  I asked her if she could take ONE flower out of the vase and she said she could.  She took one flower out and went to the public park where her father hanged himself, and left the flower there.  She did that with each flower she took out of the vase. 

Once the vase was out of the room, the curtains were opened, her father's picture was placed in another room, and it was again her bedroom and she started sleeping normally for hours.  Texas Rehab. took her to get her license and helped her get a job on a college campus and she was taking classes and was normal again.

When she began to sleep again, Texas Rehab. called me and asked me what I did to get her to sleep again.  Due to this success, Texas Rehab. started sending me their worst clients to test and counsel. 

Some of these clients were career criminals just out of prison.  Just in case, I had a loaded hand gun in the bottom drawer of my desk.  That drawer opened easily without making any noise.  There was one time I thought I might have to use it when a career criminal in anger threatened to tear up my office.  If he had come after me across my desk, I would have shot him.  I gave him two choices - sit down and calm down, or leave.  He sat down and I removed my hand from that drawer.

That's quite impressive! My wife does billing for Psychologists here in California, but one deals mostly with people who have suffered brain injuries, in any case I never hear about any the cases.

See, the problem is that Trump, like all men have a brain and a penis.  Now the problem is that there is  only enough blood to run one at a time.  Since Trump has been mainly relying on his small head for years to make it thu life the lack of blood normally diverted to his brain was slowed to a trickle.  That lack of blood has caused his brain to atrophy.  The result is a man with nonrevesable brain damage resulting in mental retardation.
