Podcaster tells Trump about the dangers of cocaine addiction in heartfelt exchange
Comedian Theo Von told Donald Trump about how cocaine addiction had turned him into a ‘damn owl’.
The podcaster was interviewing the former president, and they were discussing alcohol abuse, when Von described how he would ‘just do cocaine.’
‘That’s down and dirty, right?’ the former president responded, adding: ‘But you don’t anymore?’
‘No, I don’t do it anymore, man. And I’m not doing it,’ Von said.
Trump asked him: ‘Is it too much? Too much to handle?’
Von said: ‘Some of the stuff started to get a real rattle in it. I don’t know where we were even getting it from in this country, but it started to make me feel like I was a mechanic or something.”
Trump asked ‘So the thing you go back to then is alcohol for the most part?’ and Von said ‘Yeah, but what I want probably is cocaine.’
Trump asked: ‘Is cocaine a stronger up?”
Von replied: ‘Yeah. so you’re way up with cocaine more than anything else you can think of. Cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie. You know what I’m saying? You’ll be out on your own porch. You’ll be your own street lamp. You’re freaking…’
Trump said: ‘And is that a good feeling?’
Von answered: ‘Well, it’s a miserable feeling, but you do it anyway, just like the guy you’re saying with the scotch.’
