Donald Trump Jr. Fiercely Denies Claims He Uses Cocaine in Jaw-Dropping Interview: 'There's Never Been a Photo'

Donald Trump Jr. fiercely denied internet rumors that he uses cocaine during a live Q&A session on his Rumble streaming show, Triggered.

Responding directly to a viewer comment telling him to "lay off the coke," Trump Jr. used sarcasm to hit back at his critics, noting that despite being labeled "the biggest cokehead in the world" on social media, no credible photos, videos or witnesses have ever emerged to prove it.

Trump Jr. mocked the online narrative by stating, "I've done so much of it, yet shockingly... there's never been a photo, or a video, or anyone with any credibility actually saying that they've seen me do this.”

The 48-year-old explained that his tired appearance was due to a recent foot surgery following a rough paragliding landing, not substance abuse.

He repeatedly deflected drug accusations by targeting Hunter Biden, pointing out the double standard regarding how the media treats his public passion versus Hunter's documented history of addiction.

This is not the first time Trump Jr. has had to push back against these specific allegations publicly.

After social media users pointed out his glassy eyes and sweaty forehead during his 2020 Republican National Convention address, he told Fox News that the look was entirely caused by harsh stage lighting.

At a 2023 Turning Point Action Conference, he explicitly told a crowd, "I don't snort cocaine. It's just not my thing," while joking that his close friends reminded him his high-profile lifestyle would make hiding a drug habit impossible.

When a small bag of cocaine was discovered in the White House West Wing during Joe Biden’s term in 2023, Trump Jr. mocked the subsequent Secret Service investigation, asserting that if it had been his property, the culprit would have been found immediately.

Growing up, Donald Trump enforced a strict, zero-tolerance policy against substances for all his children. Trump Jr. frequently recalled his father drilled the mantra "no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes" into them from an early age.

While his teenage years were largely quiet, Trump Jr.’s relationship with substances escalated dramatically when he gained independence in college.

While attending the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School in the late 1990s, Trump Jr. developed a reputation for heavy partying. Former classmates described him as frequently intoxicated, stumbling on campus or passing out in public.

Trump Jr. later admitted that he lacked moderation, stating in a 2004 interview with New York magazine, "I used to drink a lot and party pretty hard... I couldn't do it in moderation.”

In 2001, at age 23, his heavy drinking culminated in an arrest for public drunkenness in New Orleans, where he spent 11 hours in a jail cell.

Following his arrest and a "gap year" spent bartending and living out of a truck in Aspen, Colo., Trump Jr. said he chose to quit drinking alcohol entirely around 2002. He has noted that his decision to maintain sobriety was heavily influenced by watching his uncle, Fred Trump Jr., battle a fatal addiction to alcoholism.
