This is dumb as shit.

His alcoholism is a huge part of the reason he is unfit for the job. Please don't let this kind of bullshit stop you from mentioning that an active alcoholic should not be Secretary of Defense.

Period.
Full stop.

Trump's love of Adderall...............

Anyone remember, after Trump's first occupation of the White House, the "pharmacy" that he had set up in the White House?
It was reported that White House Staff, and any visitors to the White House could just tell them what they needed, with no Rx....

that I have known, are often in a somewhat Manic state, over estimating their power, and feeling a sense of complete grandeur.....

Not sure that is universal for ALL........

People have stated that alcohol and drugs create, in a sense, false courage.......I think of their statement that often precedes an idiotic, irrational, and totally stupid act: "Here, hold my beer"
