Donald Trump Learns About Cocaine During An Interview With Podcaster Theo Von

Former President Donald Trump learned about cocaine while sitting for an interview with podcaster Theo Von. During an episode of Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend, Trump asked the podcaster if he ever took any other drugs.

“No, I would just do cocaine,” Von answered. “That was really, yeah – so not just, yeah.”

“That’s down and – that’s down and dirty, right,” the former president asked.

“Yeah,” the podcast host replied. “And this is, yeah, this, I mean, it was, yeah.”

“But you don’t anymore,” Trump asked.

“No, I don’t do it anymore, man,” Von declared. “And I’m not doing it.”

“Is it too much – too much to handle,” the former president asked.

“Some of the stuff started to get a real rattle in it, too,” the podcaster admitted. “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.”

“So the thing you go back to then is alcohol for the most part,” Trump wondered.

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

Trump then questioned if cocaine is “a stronger up.”

“Yeah,” Von responded.

The former president then wondered if the host is ever “way up with cocaine more than anything else [he] can think of.”

“Cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie,” Von claimed. “You know what I’m saying? It’ll – you’ll be – you’ll be out on your own porch, you know,” he added. “You’ll – you’ll be your street lamp. You’re freaking!”

Trump interrupted, wondering if what the podcaster described was “a good feeling.”

“No, it’s horrible,” Von responded.

Even though, as Trump stated, the high from cocaine is “a miserable feeling,” the host said that “you do it anyway.”

On August 12, Elon Musk hosted Trump for an interview on his platform X.

Trump and Musk engaged in a wide-ranging conversation about energy policy, climate change, nuclear threats, immigration and federal government spending.

While Musk asked the former president only softball questions, letting him stick to his campaign talking points on immigration and the economy without challenge, he also used the interview to emphasize his political views, urging his guest to soften his rhetoric on immigrants while agreeing that immigration leads to crime.
