Trump has always been drowsy

but now he's flat-out falling asleep in public. I wonder if the old rumor that he sniffs crushed Adderall has anything to do with this. We know he's been diagnosed with some kind of cardiac problem, and one of the worse things to take when you have a heart problem is a stimulant like Ritalin or Adderall. Maybe he's been abruptly deprived of the one thing that was keeping him awake.

As Belle of the Ranch says, "It's just a thought."

The emotional exhaustion of maintaining his facade. And now so many things are piercing his sense of grandiosity
