Donald Trump, with his back against the wall on Niger, is acting like he’s high on cocaine again

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

There continues to be no proof that Donald Trump is using cocaine. But whenever his back has been the most thoroughly against the wall, he’s begun displaying a series of symptoms – constant sniffing, hyperactivity, paranoia – which mirror a cocaine high in remarkable fashion. Medical doctors and former coke addicts have outright accused him of it. Now, with everything going wrong for Trump that could possibly go wrong, he’s once again acting like he’s high as a kite.

Trump appeared on the Fox News Business channel on Friday night, apparently against the wishes of his own advisers, and bizarrely volunteered that his planned tax cuts are “about me representing rich people” – an admission which he then went on to repeat twice more, before immediately transitioning into incoherent babble about Vladimir Putin. In that same interview he anxiously babbled incoherently about Robert Mueller, while appearing to have no awareness of the strategy that his own attorneys just got finished announcing.

Trump also nervously tweeted about the mythical Pee Pee Tape on Thursday for no apparent reason, randomly accusing the FBI of having somehow faked it. He then also flew through his greatest hits of absurdity: the phony scandal about Hillary Clinton and uranium, the “Radical Islamic terror” racial slur, and other lowlights. Then he seemed to conclude that because a poll showed that 46% of people believed some news is fake, it meant that 46% of news is fake. He also randomly thanked Geraldo Rivera.

In fairness, Donald Trump wasn’t sniffing during his Fox interview like one would expect if he were indeed reverting to cocaine usage. But apart from that, his frantic, confused, and nervously paranoid behavior suggests that he may have resorted to coke as he freaks out about his Niger scandal and everything else that’s going wrong for him. If he’s not high, he’s sure acting like it.
