WASHINGTON ...............................................
Trump's comments, which drew laughter from the audience as he delivered remarks touting a new trade deal, came as his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, is being investigated by the FBI for sexual misconduct allegations that took place while he was reportedly drunk in high school and college.
"I'm not a drinker, I can honestly say I've never had a beer in my life," Trump said in the Rose Garden press briefing. "Its one of my only good traits."
Trump joked that if he had been a drinker: "Can you imagine if I had, what a mess Id be? I'd be the world's worst."
.........................................
"I watched him," Trump said. "I was surprised at how vocal he was about the fact that he likes beer...This is not a man that said that he was perfect with respect to alcohol."
He continued: "I think the judge has been pretty amazing about describing his situation with alcohol and with beer."........................

The only swamp creature that is a joke is Trump himself.

(14,173 posts)..he's saying that IF he had drank beer in college, he would have probably engaged in even more 'locker room' behaviour. But hey....non of that would have affected him today. He'd still be the stable genius that he is.....obviously. His great mind and body would have gotten over it years ago. Just like Kavanaugh did.

he doesn't partake in drinking or smoking which was linked to the early death of his older brother, Fred Trump Jr. who died at age 43.
"How Donald Trump's Brother Fred Jr. Shaped His Views on Addiction," 2017.

But the issue of addiction is also a deeply personal one for Trump. His older brother Freddy suffered from alcoholism, and died in 1981 at the young age of 43.The president spoke about his brother's struggles with addiction during today's speech, and it's not the first time he's shared his brother's story publicly. Trump has said in the past that Freddy's death had a "tremendous impact" on him. Perhaps most notably, he does not drink alcohol, do drugs, or smoke cigarettes, avoiding these vices because of his brother's alcoholism.

(872 posts)Never had a beer? Not once? How many guys have NEVER had a beer in their entire lives? About as Un-American as sitting for the anthem.

(11,841 posts)Seriously, back in the 80s when he was 1st getting famous he said that in many interviews; never had booze or drugs.
It COULD be true, although in NYC and his ego its is hard to believe. I know a few guys in their 50s-60s who have never had a drink. But with them its a religious thing
Trumps religion is Trump

(3,208 posts)at least deep inside. So I cannot imagine how awful tRump would be drunk. But he should try some weed, maybe that would open his mind far enough to see how it's much nicer to be kind (because he sure can't see it at all!). I find it hard to believe that he has NEVER had a beer. Most people try it at least once, and many find that it is not for them. Maybe that is the one good thing I can say about tRump, he knew he was just evil enough and did not want to go over board. ???? (I am trying to find something good and that is as close as it gets !)
