New York City is a place where high performance is demanded if you are to be successful. It's like being in the Olympics every day. In the Olympics the contestants face repeated and intense drug testing to determine whether performance enhancing drugs have been used. You can imagine what the rate of drug use would be if those tests were eliminated. In 2013 Lance Armstrong admitted he had been 'doping' through out his career. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2014/jul/04/lance-armstrong-drugs-tour-de-france Not to forget the former Governor of California: http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/Health/story?id=532456&page=1 Are there drug testing stations at the entrance to the high powered financial centers in New York? NO. Nobody wants to know. Yet it is clear that 'doping' is ubiquitous in the upper levels of power in New York. If I have an important meeting to go to and I MUST be at my absolute best will I snort a little coke to give me that extra edge? You Betcha! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...tive-arrested-huge-cocaine-bust-New-York.html If I need to debate on TV with 80 million viewers and a touch of coke is as close as my limo driver... I have worked NYC and can tell you the two best signs you are dealing with someone who has a snoot full: He'll have the sniffles and will have an abnormal loquaciousness... with a drive to interrupt everybody else. Sound familiar? just sayin. A recent example: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/02/b...nkers-tragic-death-but-questions-persist.html "There was a lot of cocaine in his system" There used to be a thing called the "New York Cocktail" which was popular for the young and driven: Oxycodone, Cocaine and Prednisone. Two pills and one sniff when you get up and you will have a GREAT day.
Trump is a very extroverted person...kinda hyperactive...a workaholic..."A" type personality. No need for DRUGS here...move along.
Someone else made the same observation: https://www.yahoo.com/news/howard-dean-defends-trump-cocaine-tweet-210521672.html I swear I hadn't seen this before I posted above. I agree with Dean that making such a long distance 'diagnosis' would be wrong but if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has web feet one would be justified in asking : 'say...are you a duck? '
If Trump actually is a cocain user, well I have to say, he deserves respect, and he could use his candidacy as a platform to bring the debate about drug use/penalisation/depenalisation to the public debate. Also, by coming out publicly about his past/present cocain use, he could bring back some self-esteem to cocain and other drug users who more often than not try to hide their addictions. From there, these people could have the choice, if they so wish, to find real solutions should they wish to drop the addiction. Since the US had occupied countries like Afghanistan, poppy crops has been booming; whereas it was declining under the Taliban. Trump could get interests in which well protected Americans are actually profiteering from poppy-heroin trade
Is Cocaine really that much different from Caffeine ? http://www.cocaineaddiction.com/cocaine-versus-caffeine-similarities-differences.html I remember when I was in graduate school I used to make a heavy Caffeine brew when I had a lot of work to do and it would make me unable to sleep for quite a while. Probably in the dosages of Caffeine I used I was not doing much different than people who propped themselves up with Cocaine (there were some). A distinct advantage of Caffeine: No Sniffles. (and of course no jail time).
I like to play doctor too. Hilary is more introverted than Trump and you have to figure the CAMPAIGN trail has put a lot of pressure on the old lady and has caused her a lot of fatigue. I think we've seen some of the symptoms recently...immune system compromised...taking time away to recharge...hysterical expressions...collapsing, etc. I believe she is taking some major anti-depressants/anti-anxiety drugs to help cope! Is this what we want in office?
Its not her health that concerns me so much as it is her polices. Today She announced free college tuition for all Americans from families with less than $125k income. If your degree is from a private University it is the only degree that will be worth anything going forward. State Education for All!... uhm except for those who will continue to pay for a decent education. Employers will overwhelmingly hire graduates of private schools and eschew those from State run education. Free Medical + Free Education = Socialism
