“COKED OUT”? Italian PM Giorgia Meloni Appears “High as a Kite”

Something Seemed Off with Giorgia Meloni at NATO — And People Noticed

Let me start by saying: I like Giorgia Meloni. I’ve admired her leadership and think the world could use more strong, clear-thinking voices like hers. She’s been a friend to conservative values and an ally on the world stage. Importantly, she doesn’t suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome — which already puts her miles ahead of many of her European counterparts.

But part of what we do here is report the news as it happens — the good, the bad, and the eyebrow-raising. And today, many people are raising eyebrows over how Meloni appeared during her recent appearance at NATO.

Was Something Off?

To be blunt, a lot of people thought Meloni looked… off. Some are saying she seemed “high.” Her eyes were wide and darting, her energy seemed manic, and there was a constant wiping or scratching at her nose that had people speculating about possible drug use.

Now, let’s be fair. Is there proof? No. Is it fair to jump to conclusions? Of course not. But when you’re a major world leader attending a high-profile international summit and you exhibit odd, agitated behavior, people notice — and they talk.

One commenter bluntly said she looked “coked out.” That might sound outrageous, but it’s not completely out of left field given that these same rumors have followed other leaders — including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose constant sniffling has not gone unnoticed.

Remember That Other Incident?

This isn’t the first time concerns have been raised. A few weeks ago, Meloni had another public moment that raised similar questions, and today’s NATO appearance only added fuel to the fire.

Now, to inject a bit of levity — if Trump’s on Coke, it’s the kind that comes in a can with a red label. And yes, maybe he hits that Diet Coke button a little too often, but at least that’s harmless by comparison.

The Curious Case of Meloni’s “Leaning”

And here’s something else I’ve picked up on over time. Meloni has a consistent physical behavior pattern — she always seems to be leaning. Not just a casual lean, but an exaggerated forward or sideways posture in nearly every major public appearance.

At the recent G7, she was seen practically folding over herself to talk to French President Emmanuel Macron. It was such an extreme angle, I had to watch the clip twice. It’s not a one-off either — she’s been seen in similar postures in a variety of settings.

Sometimes it’s subtle, other times it’s more pronounced. People online have even started adding the classic “green line” photo test to analyze her posture. In one viral clip, she was seen crouching low in her chair, leaning over to talk to former President Trump at a formal dinner — a pose that looked more like someone at a bar, mid-conversation, than a sitting head of state.

Harmless Habit or Something More?

To be clear, I’m not accusing her of anything. Maybe that’s just her comfort zone — a physical quirk. But it is something I’ve noticed over and over. And it resembles behavior I’ve seen in people who may have had one too many drinks. That classic “crouch and point” posture? It’s usually right before someone needs their Vodka Tonic taken away.

Then there’s her facial expressions. Meloni isn’t great at hiding how she feels, which can be both refreshing and revealing. Sometimes her reactions are hard to miss — the frustration, the impatience, the raised eyebrows.

One Lean That Made Perfect Sense

To close on a lighter note: there is one Meloni lean I absolutely understand — the lean away from Joe Biden. That’s right. While most of her leans are toward others, she made a very deliberate shift away from “Pedo Peter,” as some online call him, when they crossed paths. That lean said everything.
