Donald Trump

PRESIDENT Trump’s reported “joy ride” from his hospital bed may have been druginduced (ODT, 6.10.20).

The New Zealand Medsafe data sheet for dexamethasone states: ‘‘Patients and/or carers should be warned that potentially severe psychiatric reactions may occur. Symptoms typically emerge within a few days or weeks of starting treatment. Psychic derangements range from euphoria, insomnia, mood swings, personality changes and severe depression to frank psychotic manifestations.’’

Should the world fear the mood swings and personality changes of the President of the United States of America?
