Donald Trump Jr rubs gums during SpaceX Starship rocket launch, trolls call it 'typical coke move'

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS: Donald Trump Jr was caught rubbing his gums on the live broadcast of SpaceX's Starship rocket launch on Tuesday, November 19, which fuelled speculations of him using cocaine on the social media platform X.

Dressed in a light blue shirt, dark blue jacket, and beige pants, Donald Trump Jr grabbed the attention of viewers when he put his fingers in the left front pocket of his trousers and then directly into his mouth, rubbing his gums.

The eldest of Trump's children has been previously accused of using cocaine, which he has vehemently denied. Speaking at a Turning Point event in Florida last year, he observed about drugs being discovered in the White House, "I don’t snort cocaine, it’s not my thing."

Donald Trump Jr's increasing importance in the upcoming Trump administration

According to OK!Magazine, Donald Trump Jr was accompanying his father, president-elect Donald Trump, to the SpaceX launch event after he was appointed by the latter as the co-lead of 'Department of Government Efficiency' along with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

Donald Trump Jr has been open about helping out his father with his cabinet appointments, telling 'Fox & Friends' on November 7, "I’m going to be heavily involved in the transition. I want to make sure now that we know who the real players are, the people who will actually deliver on the president’s message, the people who don’t think that they know better than the duly elected president of the United States."

"I want to make sure that those people are in his cabinet. I want to make sure that those people are in this administration," he added.
