It was just not his thing.
I think the mistake that we made was we assumed that everybody would like it.
That would be the biggest mistake.
There was sort of a double pressure put on him."
That pressure was something Trump never forgot while also never forgetting advice his brother once gave him.
“He was a great-looking guy.
He had the best personality.
He had everything,” Trump said of his brother, Freddie Trump.
“But he had a problem with alcohol and cigarettes.
He knew he had the problem, and it’s a tough problem to have.
He was ten years older than me, and he would always tell me not to drink or smoke.
And to this day I’ve never had a cigarette.
I’ve never had a glass of alcohol.
I won’t even drink a cup of coffee.
I just stay away from those things because he had such a tremendous problem.
Fred did me a great favor.
It’s one of the greatest favors anyone’s ever done for me.”
So, while Trump might not have his morning cup of joe, he isn’t 100% vice-free.
