Donald Trump is on TV right now, and it looks like he is *ON* something

[LaydeeBug]

like he didn't drink his coffee or something.

Very low, and slow grumbly voice, not like the high pitched, fast talking usual.

Seriously. If you can, turn on MSNBC right now

edit: to add the word "now" to the title

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I think his campaign staff slips Xanax into his orange juice each morning.

It always seems to be his evening gigs where he jumps the rails; the drugs have probably worn off by then.

[SummerSnow]

3. When he go off the rails I bet his people say

" Omg , did you give him his stuff this morning?
" I thought you did?"

[etherealtruth]

10. I was "kinda" thinking Seroquel

[radical noodle]

2. He's an actor and a showman

He's speaking to a group of people who have had family members die in violent ways. His voice is geared to make them believe him. He's manipulating them perfectly.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. One of the bettter

descriptions posted today. He is a Reality TV Star created by the fellow that is known for Reality TV shows. He is a fake and a sham as well as pulling off one of greatest scams ever.

[PJMcK]

12. Did you ever see "The Running Man"?

It's an Arnold Schwarzenegger film co-starring Richard Dawson (from the game show "Match Game&quot as the villain. This is a line from his Wikipedia entry:

Dawson parodied his TV persona in 1987 in The Running Man, in which he portrayed the evil, egotistical game-show host Damon Killian.

Often, I think of that character when I see or hear Donald Trump.

19. Having a family member doing scripts

for a couple of Reality TV Shows,we have a insight as to how to use the so called hook'em and play'em technique. And yes do remember the Running Man,clever use of the same methods.

If you every watched FX's Fargo,well you would know how the Hook works and the Cohen's are the Masters.

[Cracklin Charlie]

5. He looked like that in Flint.

Calling Dr. Bombay!

[demigoddess]

6. or is he sundowning?

I am betting on early alzheimer's.

[bettyellen]

11. Sundowning happens after other symptoms are very apparent.

Speaking as someone who has experienced the decline and death of a loved one due to AD.... It bothers me to see the "diagnosis" with AD used as a joke or a ploy.

Just saying as much as I hate Trump, taking this tack is quite alienating.

[demigoddess]

20. I asked it in all seriousness. I thought it was an early symptom. I still think he

has dementia or something. We should all be on the lookout for such in our presidential candidates.

[bettyellen]

21. Early symptoms would be showing confusion regarding the hear and now- shorter term forgetfulness.

And there would be a lot of confusion due to new surroundings. Sun downing is a horror show- complete confusion and fear, like a very bad panic attack with hallucinations sometimes.

You know what- trumps a hateful asshole, always was- so there's no changes to ponder here- there's plenty to talk about without this arm chair diagnosis crap . Playing doctor is beneath us, and Alzheimer's too serious to play guessing games with.

[demigoddess]

22. Sorry that I hit a nerve on you. But I think it is unrealistic to expect

everybody to be an expert on alzheimer's. I have a severely retarded daughter and I doubt you would be up on rare genetic anomalies and all the issues involved.

[bettyellen]

23. Thanks - I appreciate your open minded approach to discussing it with me.

Sorry to hear about your daughter. Cognitive issues can be hell, so frustrating and so few really get it.

[HipChick]

7. MSNBC described him as Zombie like

[riversedge]

8. Did they really?? That would be grand!

[LaydeeBug]

9. That isn't inaccurate. Weird. nt

[riversedge]

16. thanks

[Duckhunter935]

13. Very low energy, lol

[MFM008]

14. His maggot self

Is all bummed about yesterday.
No hotel tour.

[spiderpig]

15. Maybe he has some DISEASE! Like Hillary!

After all, he's 70. (Although he has the body of a 35 year old, and he's a MAN.)

[BSdetect]

17. Probably taking weird injections from his Russian friends.

They are good at avoiding detection.

His fat layers help dilute the drugs.

[mainstreetonce]

18. Whatever he took

I hope they double his dose before the debate.

[sarcasmo]

24. Triple Xanax and no Twitter.
