Is Donald Trump high on amphetamines?

splash-amphe

Fact: Daily amphetamine use is characterized by paranoia, erratic behavior, delusions of grandeur and pathological lying.

Think about Trump’s never ending antics, his ability to believe his own lies. He claims to have won the popular vote, inflates his inauguration crowd beyond sensible explanation, and asserts that his raid on Yemen was a great success. His bizarre claim to have never been in contact with Vladimir Putin, despite also admitting to meeting the Russian leader on multiple occasions … these are consistent with the confused ramblings of a drug addict.

Recognize the signs: he perceives threats in certain members of the population in the absence of facts. He is paranoid about so-called fake news and obsessed with trivial matters. He aggressively attacks his friends and his adversaries, often unable to distinguish between the two. He suffers from a lack of social inhibitions and is a documented sexual deviant. Not to mention the unrealistic ideas about his own personal ability and power … the skin disorder he must cover-up each day with layers of bronzer to create that notable orange glow, the vanity so painfully evident.

During his press conferences, his mannerisms and movements show the physical signs of the addict. Random twitches, shakes, an inability to stay focused, loss of memory, the stuttering, even the strange way he cannot seem to control the volume of his voice … unmistakable traits of an amphetamine user.

Grand Cinemas And More "Grand Valentine Stories" (2017) 2:28 (Romania)

It’s getting so you can’t go to the cinema any more with some stunt being pulled on you. But in this case it’s quite a fun one. For Valentine’s Day, Grand Cinemas took three couples who were attending a movie, and gave them each a glimpse into the future. Two actors played a version of themselves thirty years form now. They recounted the story of how they met. And then for the big reveal, the husband who seems so cold and indifferent to his wife, shows her he’s kept a photo of the two of of them on his phone all this time. The photo is of course one of the young couple in the theater.
Nice idea that films are more than films but can transport us. Check out one of the films as it aired here.

Grand Valentine's day Madalina & Emil (2017) 1:30 (Romania)

Grand Valentine's day Madalina & Emil  (2017) 1:30 (Romania)
Here’s a super cute story that was part of a stunt for Grand Cinemas done in Romania over Valentine’s Day. Three unsuspecting couples attended a movie, and then watched themselves thirty years into the future. The wife asks, “Do you remember how we met?” Which is probably more like “Do you even remember how we met?” Because the husband no seems indifferent. She prompts him and then tells him how they met, and of course the young couple in the theater start to put two and two together. But of course the big reveal comes when the woman on screen is so furious at him for seeming not to care. He then shows her a photo he’s kept all these years of the two of them when they were first dating. And of course it’s a photo of the couple in the theater.” So it’s a little heartfelt, a little touching, and a little dorky. But hey, that’s what love is, right?
