Donald Trump asked several questions about cocaine in a new interview with Theo Von at his country club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The comedian and podcaster was discussing his personal drug use when the former president described cocaine as "down and dirty."

Mr Trump asked further questions about the drug, including whether it is "too much to handle" and "a stronger up."

The former president has previously advised against taking drugs, smoking, or drinking alcohol, the latter of which he says he has never consumed due to his older brother who was an alcoholic.
