The thing is, Mike Lindell has a fantastic story to tell, one full of hope, life, love, and spirit. He was a very wealthy man who used to give tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars to programs that helped addicts. He would not only donate money, but he would speak to them and treat them as family.

In a way, they were family, and Mike Lindell was a brother. He himself was a former crack addict who not only cleaned himself up but formed a multi-multi-million dollar business with a large fraction of those funds going to help those who were two steps behind him – but moving.

Now, there is a genuine concern, not faux delight or schadenfreude, that Mike Lindell may be slipping back into the throws of addiction.

It is absolutely impossible to tell with any certainty. That needs to be said upfront, but there are many on the net who are now speculating because of what they perceive to be evidence seen in pictures.

On many occasions, he hasn’t looked well. There could be a lot of innocent explanations. But there are incidents in which there are few other explanations, and one just hopes and hopes that he hasn’t relapsed.

Here is the latest tweet making the rounds:

Sweating profusely with hands and arms shaking at the Trump rally in WI, former crack addict Mike Lindell says that Trump is a “bucket of common sense” and “the most courageous person I’ve ever met.” He then says he gets his energy from God and watching Trump. pic.twitter.com/FF1DDdJDx1

Well, one can argue about the most courageous man and a bucket of common sense. One just hopes that Lindell gets his energy from God and watching Trump. And nothing more.

The net wasn’t as kind as we always are:

This is really sad. He got clean for years, then trump happened. This man needs help.

I thought Mike was tweaking pretty bad and now I’m sure of it.

Mike Lindell and Don Jr need to go into rehab together. These are two of Trump's best supporters??

I feel sorry for Mike. His could have been a great American success story — overcame addiction and built a successful company (whatever you think of the product). But he threw it all away. Sad.

I can’t watch or hear. It makes me upset to see someone so hyper. He reminds me of Chris Farley being interviewed on a talk show , shortly before he died. He couldn’t sit still, and was jumpy and sweaty too.

All this dude had to do was make pillows and his life would be fantastic. ETTD.

Looks like he's lost a lot of weight recently.
Doing drugs and being under extreme financial stress will do that to you, I'm told.

I am not aware that Lindell has ever uttered a truthful word, let alone made a whole accurate speech. TFG must be really hard up for people to say nice things about him. This choice displays his abysmal judgment.
