Casler: I told him the real deal about Trump that people didnt know. He was an open drug addict. Everyone knew it; none of this stuff was a secret, you know. He was doing coke on shows 20 years ago when we wed do, you know, wed do the VH1 Fashion Awards and I used to do the beauty pageants with him in the Nineties. Now, he was an open drug user, and open sexual assaulter, and this stuff was just kind of accepted.
Interview: And its not that you heard this first hand, its you saw this with your own eyes.
Casler: Absolutely. Thats when most of the drug use occurred on The Apprentice, when he had to read cue cards. Hed get really nervous, so hed go in the bathroom, crush up Adderral, hed come back to (the) set, thered be white chunks flying out of his nose, white powder under his nose. Hes doing the same thing as a candidate and as a president. It gives him a feeling of being in control. But hes clearly an addict. If you know anything about addiction, untreated addiction as a president is the worst thing you can have. So, yeah, he was obviously high that night. That was the same person we saw in The Apprentice. And I remember watching that and, like, Yep, hes high. And it probably wasnt just Adderral. You know, he did coke, he did meth, he had drug dealers coming to the after parties, selling it to him. Adderral is his maintenance high; its what he does during the day. When he gets down to Mar-a-Lago and these other places he gets into it a little harder. He also uses benzodiazepinesyou know, Valium and stuff to come down when he hits it hard. So when you see him slurring and stuff, thats from the benzos. And, you know, the things I saw he didnt even hide. So many other people saw this stuff. But imagine what the people are seeing right now in the White House. You know what I mean? We got him for an hour a day on The Apprenticeon the Celebrity Apprenticebecause he barely worked. Thats the other thing: the guy is unmanageable. You know what I mean? Hes not a functioning human being, he barely works. Nine days out of ten wed have to cancel that days taping because he wouldnt show up at the last minute. So imagine the dysfunction and insanity these people are witnessing at the White House, (and) the GOP leaders that you say are enabling him.
(I've made this as accurate as possible, but any errors are my fault)
Just because, I wanted this in writing so I could read it with my own eyes.

(2,023 posts)WE the American people, all of us, are Trump's employer. As Trump's bossthe only one he has ever had (oh, wait, I forgot Putin!) we should have the right to have an unannounced drug test done on him, just like other employers do. How do we make this happen?
Seriously, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and Jerry Nadler should spring a drug pee test on him after Trump's next incoherent speech (in other words, Trump's next speech). They should be just waiting in the wings, and when he finishes, they should stroll out to the podium and demand that he give a pee sample. I know, ewww, but even if he refused, which he would, it would bring publicity to his odd, drug-addled behavior.
I know that this has little chance of happening. But what if we all were to send a "We're onto you, Sniffles! We know what you've been snorting!" message in the form of a drug test pee cup, even an IDTPC (improvised drug test pee cup), maybe a clear Dixie cup with a message written on it (in Sharpie, of course). Hey! We could each print the transcript of Casier's interview and curl it up inside the cup.
If the White House received thousands of these IDTPCs, and if this mailing were "leaked" to the press and a story were done about it, it might just plant a seed in Trump supporters' koolaid-infused brains and make them notice the sniffles, the slurring, the hyperaggression . . .
I'm doin' it. Where's my Sharpie?

(63,221 posts)It's easy to believe and it certainly explains a lot.
What also stuck out for me is what he said about Trump barely doing any work. I don't think he has ever really done what most of us would consider real "work". He shows up for crowds, talks on the phone, bellows and blusters, manipulates the media, cons people, sues people and makes a lot of noise, but he doesn't really know how to do much of anything.
I forgot who the author was, but I remember him saying that Trump didn't even really know how to run a business and that's why he was such a failure. All he did was look at fabric and paint swatches and got overly involved in the minutia. And now he's in the White House and he's no longer able to fool people that he knows what he's doing because he is (or was) surrounded by people who are so much smarter and more competent that himself. Which is probably why most of them are now gone. Even the swamp things that are still left are smarter than he is, but they are still getting something out of staying loyal to him.

(12,712 posts)There is another place that Trump has cheated his way through.
Having dabble in certain substances and watching carefully, (objectively) what some of them did to friends over time, they an be like high octane ego fuel, which means anybody could become cocky, bold, aggressive, assertive, etc., and get a real kick out of it. In other words, it would FEEL REAL GOOD, despite your normal ethics and mannerisms.
Again, having seen it, if Trump is a regular user, then the drugs would be a real crutch that would not only feed and increase his malignant narcissism, but give him a false sense of security, invincibility, lack of concern and empathy, and on and on. I am sure others have seen people do a sort of Dr. Jekyl, Mr. Hyde, and we see it also with alcohol and inhibitions.
That would explain a lot about what makes Trump seem so potent. We could be like that too with enough of the right chemicals. We should also keep in mind that there have been several cult leaders in the past that were or became heavy drug users, (Jim Jones, L. Ron Hubbard, etc.) Hitler was a user and the SS and troopers were also fed a lot of amphetamines and other drugs as well.
This goose that thinks he is King of the United States and using substances to bolster his flawed ego makes this a very bizarre and dangerous time in American history.

Maybe a Tony Montana ending (see: Scarface) to his pResidency isn't so far-fetched, after all.

(752 posts)The likelikhood of being able to prove it is small.
The likelihood that it won't matter one bit is very high.
The potential of a costly reaction from a vengeful president is high.

(11,885 posts)Taken and looked at show his drug abuse? If so someone should get that hair to the lab to prove he's under the influence of drugs. This should be done , and soon especially after a out of control weekend at his resort. Even his maids should be collecting his hair for the feds to use. A drug sting then perhaps. Go in and get all the evidence . Expose his dealers. Expose him! We're his employer.
