Donald Trump appears to have dexamethasone roid rage incident while in hospital
Yesterday Donald Trump’s doctors confirmed that they’d begun giving Donald Trump dexamethasone, a powerful steroid which is only given to coronavirus patients when the virus is getting into their lungs. This raised a number of red flags, because dexamethasone can cause everything from hallucinations to roid rage.
Trump already seemed to be suffering symptoms last night when he announced that he’d been visiting with the soldiers who were hospitalized in Walter Reed – something that definitely did not happen, because doctors would never allow him to do this while contagious with coronavirus. Now Trump appears to have moved on to roid rage.
All caps tweeting is nothing new for Donald Trump. But this morning he posted fifteen all caps tweets in a row, yelling nonsense like “FIGHT THE CORRUPT FAKE NEWS MEDIA” and “SAVE OUR SECOND AMENDMENT” and “IF YOU WANT A MASSIVE TAX INCREASE, THE BIGGEST IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY (AND ONE THAT WILL SHUT OUR ECONOMY AND JOBS DOWN), VOTE DEMOCRAT!!!”
Again, we’ve seen tweets like this from Trump before. But fifteen of them in forty-five minutes? He wouldn’t normally have the stamina. This suggests that the dexamethasone is impacting him and causing some kind of roid rage incident. We’re not the only ones who see it this way, the phrase “roid rage” began trending atop Twitter after Trump’s incident.
