Is Trump in pain?

Trump looks like it's a struggle for him to keep himself sitting up and is grimacing much of the time. He clearly doesn't like being out in the sun without at least a hat on his head. There's definitely something going on.

military (navy?) who is a former Pentagon official who said Trump had escalated to using Percocet in addition to Adderall and some other drugs. Casler is claiming this is widely known among DoD personnel.

This was probably a month ago. Unfortunately, the source was just a Tweet by Casler.

Percoset is one of the drugs my mother was taking during her final few months of cancer.

Percocet (oxycodone + APAP) is pretty commonly used for chronic pain ... if you graduate to the ones in the subject line that generally means something is really wrong.

Oxycodone can be indicated in late stages of cancer as well, sometimes as breakthrough with other, stronger and/or time-released meds, or sometimes alone because that's all the person can tolerate as oxycodone is one of the best in that regard.

Being given Morphine can often be a sign of something pretty serious too but not always ...

It is a well documented account of Hitler's drug use, which was pervasive. I don't know if their are exact parallels with the cat grabber, but it's interesting.

The cat grabbers pain doesn't seem to impact his golfing.

clearly see his huge bald spot. I posted it on FB and said it looked like he had a baby baboon on his shoulders! I've referred to it as the baboon ass hairdo since then.

My mom was on the board of directors, for no pay, of a half way house for alcoholics and drug addicts. After decades of being an alcoholic hooked on speed my dad got at the hospital where he worked. She went clean but had there been a tv quiz show what’s my drug I know she would have been the all time champion. There was no fooling her. She told me Betty Ford was an alcoholic the first time we saw her on TV. There must be someone who knows what drugs if any Trump is using.
