An interview between Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and comedian Theo Von has gone viral after the jokester delved into illicit substances with the former president.
Conducted at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump began his interview on Von’s “This Past Weekend” show by acknowledging his 18-year-old son Barron is a “big fan” of the comedian.
In one of the most viral moments, Von attempted to describe to Trump the effects of consuming cocaine, saying it “will turn you into a damn owl, homie.”

Trump also mentioned his late brother Fred, who died in 1981, noting he’s been sober his whole life because Fred frequently discouraged him from smoking and drinking.
