Donald Trump Jr. faced ridicule on social media after a recent appearance on Fox News, where viewers noticed him slurring his words during an interview with anchor Maria Bartiromo. A clip from the segment, aired on Sunday Morning Futures, quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), with many users mocking Trump Jr.’s speech.
During the interview, Bartiromo asked Trump Jr. for his opinion on former Congressman Matt Gaetz, who was initially chosen by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as Attorney General. Trump Jr. responded, “I think a lot of them are going to face pushback for the same reason.
Again, they are going to be actual disrupters. That’s what the American people want, but the Washington DC doesn’t want that.” However, his response seemed to be hindered by his slurred speech. The viral clip sparked a wave of mockery on social media, with many users questioning Trump Jr.’s condition during the interview, OK! Magazine reported
One user tweeted, “Wow. A seemingly intoxicated Donald Trump Jr can’t get his words out and gets our nation’s capitol wrong by calling it ‘Washington TC.’ Is he drunk, high, or just stupid?” This is not the first time Donald Trump Jr. has faced allegations of being under the influence.
Back in November, he was accused of doing drugs at a SpaceX launch, where he was seen with his father, Donald Trump, and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. As the viral clip continued to circulate, social media users didn’t hold back in criticizing Trump Jr., with many speculating about his state during the interview.
The incident further fueled discussions about his public behavior and his controversial remarks in past appearances.
