WASHINGTON, DC: Former President Donald Trump served up internet gold as he discussed cocaine with comedian Theo Von on the latter's podcast 'This Past Weekend'.

In a viral clip from the episode, which was released on YouTube on Tuesday, August 20, Von is seen explaining to an apparently inquisitive Trump how the controlled substance works.

The two tumbled down the rabbit hole when the comedian brought up the topic of drug and opioid use during his conversation with the GOP nominee, who has reportedly never drunk alcohol or smoked, according to Whiskeyriff.



 

Theo Von explains the effects of cocaine to Donald Trump

Theo Von, who had previously met Donald Trump through their mutual friend, UFC CEO Dana White, opened up about his own addiction during the interview as he discussed the opioid crisis with his guest.

The MAGA spearhead, who talked about people getting addicted to pain medication, wanted to know how the comedian got addicted but wasn't ready for the honest admission of the host, who replied, "No, I would do cocaine. That was really... yeah."

"Wow. That's down and dirty, right?" asked Trump in amazement. Von agreed and shared that he is clean at present. However, the former president's curiosity was not satiated, and he inquired if the drug was "too much to handle" for Von.

"Some of the stuff started to get a real rattle in it too. 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," shared the 44-year-old.

Trump followed by asking about the difference between the effects of cocaine and alcohol, saying, "Is cocaine a stronger up? So you’re way up with cocaine, more than anything else you can think of?" leading Von to explain, "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 fricking..."

"And is that a good feeling?" questioned the Republican, and Von said almost instantaneously, "No. It's horrible."
