The Adderall talking point is pretty interesting. It's more or less considered fact in GOP MAGA influencer circles.
I wouldn't be surprised if he were on it. Or something else, or nothing.
To me it's pretty irrelevant. If people believe that the use of cognitive enhancers is cheating or unusual in any walk of life, then they are horribly naive. I'd be shocked if less than 30 percent of all public-speaking politicians don't at least take something intermittently. Hell, I work behind a computer most of the day and almost half of the people in my work group are on Provigil or Adderall. A couple get TRT as well.
These types of non-street drugs are in damn near every profession in the country, maybe on the industrialized planet. Are we to believe that people with egos like presidents and the power to get anything aren't getting in on it?
