Donald Trump once opened up about why he has never had a drink in his entire life. During a conversation on Theo Von’s podcast, he talked about how a personal tragedy led him to avoid alcohol completely. The topic came up when Von asked: “I noticed at the events you don’t drink or smoke, right? You never have?”
Trump replied: “No I never have. I had a great brother who taught me a lesson.” He explained that his older brother, Fred Trump Jr, had struggled with drinking and smoking and passed away from a heart attack at just 42 years old in 1981. The loss left a lasting impact on him, shaping his views about drinking and drugs for the rest of his life.
