Donald Trump Interview Goes Off The Rails During Cocaine-Focused Tangent

Donald Trump had some big questions while talking about addiction with comedian Theo Von on a new episode of his podcast, “This Past Weekend.”

The conversation between the politician and podcaster took a serious detour when the pair were discussing Trump’s views on addiction, along with how drugs are impacting Americans.

After first talking about Trump’s late brother, Fred Trump Jr., and his issues with alcohol, Trump and Von turned to the opioid epidemic.

That admission appeared to pique Trump’s interest, prompting him to chuckle and ask, “That’s down and dirty, right?”

“I don’t know where we were even getting it from in this country, but yeah, it started to make me feel like I was a mechanic or something,” he added with a grimace.

Continuing to press the “Regular People” standup on his habits, Trump asked, “So the thing you go back to then is alcohol, for the most part?”

“Right, yeah,” Von replied. “But what I want probably is cocaine, but I know that if I have a drink, then it’ll give me — it’ll be like, ‘OK, well, I had a drink, then I can do this.’”
