Nancy Pelosi Accuses Trump of Being on Drugs During State of the Union Address
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Donald Trump of appearing “a little bit sedated” during his State of the Union address earlier this week when she extended her hand to shake.
“It was also an act of kindness, because he looked to me like he was a little bit sedated,” Pelosi said at her weekly press conference Thursday morning.
“He looked that way last year, too. But that was that. He didn’t want to shake hands? That meant nothing to me.”
The image of Trump appearing to decline to shake Pelosi’s hand before his speech Tuesday quickly went viral online. After his speech, Pelosi immediately tore up her copy of his prepared remarks, which she called a “manifesto of mistruths” during the press conference.

Obviously it’s been rumored for years that Trump takes some kind of medication. Sometimes he appears hyped on on Adderall, other times it seems he took an extra Xanax.
Twitter quickly agreed:
LITTLE BIT?? In two speeches I have seen Trump slur words and then his left arm goes numb why aren't people taking this to a serious level the man is in trouble.☠☠☠🙄🇺🇸

MSM will have more difficulty dodging the issue of his drug use and downward slide into dementia the more she and others bring it up.

I’ll keep saying it. She knows things that we don’t. (ie his health issues, mental state, additional crimes, etc)

Trump is a raging drug addict. Always has been.
