I'm pretty sure Trump uses coke and Adderall. That's how he's able to do multiple rallies every day multiple times a week. It's funny to watch fascist infighting. Trump isn't against drug use. He's against hippy liberal shit that isn't used on Wallstreet.
diet pills and adderall is my guess. he was too genuinely curious about cocaine in that interview to be a user
I think this is it, if you pay a Dr. Feelgood to prescribe it then it doesnt count as drug use
IIRC the videos of Trump hanging around Epstein has them doing coke, or at least sniffling a lot in places where coke was present. He probably doesn't do it anymore but I bet his kids do
What is it with fascists and hardcore drugs. The Nazis did it too.
Fascist movement tend to attract a lot of unstable, adrenaline addict aggro types. A lot of early Italian fascists came from the Arditi, which was basically early Italian SpecOps and were a bit notorious for being super violent and hopped up on stimulants all the time. I've worked with a lot of Vets who say modern SpecOps dudes are largely the same, always high on some shit and itching to kill or fuck anything. A lot of these guys get attracted to the Far Right after service.
That is honestly scary. People with that mentality with that skillset.
Another thing I've heard from Vets, their "badassery" is a bit overblown. Apparently, willingness to go on suicide missions the the main factor in determining if someone is a good SpecOps recruit, not actual ability to carry out the mission. Their actual combat skill isn't that much better than a regular soldier, it's just they're willing to do the shock trooper ass shit that actual GIs will hesitate at.
I'd guess it would probably be an equipment thing too. When you've got a smaller group to equip you can throw more money at it. So normal soldiers get the standard issue stuff and those guys probably get all the fancy toys.
I'd imagine a nihilistic worldview along with creating systems so fucked up and oppressive does a number to psyche so you turn to drugs to cope. Also what's rich is the nazis like him project the "trad" worldview bullshit meanwhile behind closed doors they're drug fiends.
It's more like everybody does drugs. People in the socialist organizing circles in my area often do a bunch of drugs too, sometimes at the party office after hours lmao
Thats wild to me. I am almost 30 and have never touched so much as a cig lol
I'd imagine this is dependent on where you live. Basically everybody all along the socioeconomic ladder in big cities with a lively social life do drugs
I mean cigs, weed, and alcohol are pretty common where i am too. But ya i don't have much of a social life. My owm mother actually tried to convince me i should drink when i was 18-21 but once i turned 21 and still refused to she gave up lol.
Might be a straightforward to keep up the delusions of grandeur?
They gave him that insane cocktail after he got COVID, though I feel like Trump is the type to just follow whatever his doctor says in regard of drugs to take (but still eat fast food too much lmao). He's a teetoaler.
