His brother died from alcoholism and he claims he's never touched a drop of the stuff.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I never heard of that. He lies about everything else though. It would explain his Diet Coke fixation.

His claim that he's never drank any alcohol might be exaggerated, but if he were lying about not drinking in general, somebody would've leaked it by now.

All I know is that, according to Wikipedia, Freddie Trump's alcoholism was so bad by 1970 that his wife made him leave their home and got Trump Sr. to agree to change the locks. And Donald was only 24 by then. I could definitely see him being against the whole idea of alcohol by the time he got to his teenage years if it was that bad by then. Donald is eight years younger than Freddie.

That would require dickbag trump to have the ability to discern consequences from actions, which he does not have.

I guess I don't know him as well as you do.

He sounds like a drunk uncle every time he talks. Dude probably has wet brain and doesn't need to drink to be drunk anymore.

He claims a lot of stuff and it always ends up being untrue.
