Donald Trump’s recent rally in Michigan has sparked a flurry of speculation on social media, with some users questioning whether the former president might be under the influence of drugs. Observers noted Trump’s appearance at the event, pointing out a dramatic change in his skin color, excessive sweating, and what some described as an unusual application of bronzer.
Inside a sweltering steel warehouse, Trump struggled to stay on message, pivoting from discussing the economy to personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris. He even stumbled over her name while addressing the crowd.
The rally highlighted the stark contrast between Trump’s narrative and reality. Despite recent polling indicating a competitive race in Michigan and Harris gaining ground in key states like Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, Trump’s supporters maintained an unwavering belief in his inevitable victory. They dismissed concerns about his polling performance and instead embraced Trump’s rhetoric that he was “leading by a lot” and that the polls were “rigged.”
Trump’s fixation on his crowd size also became a talking point. He claimed thousands of people were outside the warehouse trying to get in, although reports suggested that only a few hundred were present, and many were merely waiting along the road.
During the rally, Trump also made a notable policy announcement, promising to make IVF treatments free if re-elected. However, he did not provide specifics on how this plan would be funded or implemented. This promise came amidst ongoing criticism from Democrats regarding his role in appointing Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade, which has led to tighter restrictions on reproductive rights.
Yet, it was Trump’s physical appearance that captured widespread attention online. Observers noted his sweat-soaked face and the strange orange hue of his skin. Social media was abuzz with comments speculating about potential drug use or other factors affecting his appearance.
One user questioned, “What color is he now? Everyday we get a new hue.” Another remarked, “Trump’s head sweat is melting the orange goo on his face.” Others suggested, “Trump looks like he’s on some sort of psychedelic drug,” and proposed, “The Harris campaign should turn the tables on Trump and push for a drug test before the debate.”

He's very shiny. Very sparkly. Very shoe-polish-y.

Trump looks like he’s on some sort of psychedelic drug.
And didn’t he say that in 2020 with Biden. 4 years later I’m alive and so is our Country so this fool is trying to stupid us again. Not me how about you?

The Harris campaign should turn the tables on Trump and push for a drug test before the debate. Would be a brilliant move.
