26. No. I'd believe a lot about Trump, but not that.

He's never had a drink in his life (his brother died either accident or suicide, I forget, but as a result of long term alcoholism). Trump has never had anything to do with booze or drugs.

People, please be a LITTLE selective about what you'll believe. People seem to be impressed that he dares Trump to sue him over what he says in that article, but he does NOT claim that Trump made money from cocaine trafficking. He says, "the only logical explanation for his conduct is that Donald was in the cocaine trafficking business with Joe Wexelbaum." That seems like he might be saying that, but he's not. He was careful not to say affirmatively that he was claiming that Trump did that. What he said is not libel or slander. It's wondering out loud is all.

Notice that there is zero evidence of Trump being involved in cocaine trafficking. None. Zippo. But the article has a catchy title and I'm sure got a lot of clicks.
