The former president's blowhard claim that the White House cocaine belonged to Joe Biden just got more unhinged.

Donald Trump piled on to his wild claim that the cocaine found in the White House belonged to Joe Biden, suggesting the president took the drug to pep himself up before speeches.

If this isn’t an admission that Trump uses cocaine to pep himself up before a speech/klan rally I’ll eat my hat.

The rumors have been for a while that he uses Adderall or some other similar drug to keep himself going. It's Junior who everyone thinks has the coke habit.

It's always the ones screaming the loudest about paedophiles that turn out to be the actual paedophiles. If he's ranting about Biden using cocaine to hype up ahead of a speech, then that's a tried-and-true Trump tactic.

Dude was sucking down backdrop for the majority of his debate with Hillary.

Come on man!

If Biden had half of one tiny, stepped-on bump, he’d die.

80 year olds don’t get there by doing coke haha.

But Ozzy and Keith Richards are sure as hell going to try!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Ozzy has actual literal genetic mutations that have helped him survive his drug use.

I'm pretty sure Keith Richards died 20 years ago and iust hasn't noticed yet.

I’d guess that 80-year olds couldn’t handle what coke does to the heart.

Am I the only one who doesn't care what people put in their bodies? Whether or not he's doing a good job is the only thing that matters to me (although I'd prefer the president was dropping acid and not bombs).

Pure projection.

How this problem could have been used in Bidens favour:

Immediately say it was found in a particular room where none of the current administration resides atm. That room was used under the pervious admin though and it was basically Don jr room while daddy was president. And we all know the unfortunate drug habit od Don jr. he must have dropped some on the floor or whatever. Sad. And his wive also seems to be a habitual drug user, stands to reason they both did coke in that room and god knows what else druggies do in a drug induced state. Many people say this is what happened.

And if the right wing idiots start to complain about ‘attacking’ the son of a former president, well that problem Hunter’s itself into irrelevance pretty quick I’d say.

Amazing how a straight edger like Trump can be MORE crazy than Biden on cocaine.
