Don Jr. Rubs Something On His Gums At SpaceX Launch And The Internet Has Some Thoughts

For years now, there have been rumors (and let’s be clear that’s all they are) that Donald Trump Jr. is fond of certain illegal substances that cause people to act in suspicious ways.

For example, at the 2020 Republican National Convention, Don Jr. have a speech looking like might be using some sort of drug that’s known to boost a person’s energy level and leave them, for lack of a better phrase, “amped up.”

Here’s that infamous 2020 speech:

Do normal people speak like that? Nope. They don’t.

And now we have another example of Don Jr. possibly indulging in that same substance, which could be cocaine.

During an appearance with his father this week for a SpaceX rocket launch in Texas (no doubt to appease Elon Musk, who owns SpaceX), Junior reached into his pocket, withdrew it, and rubbed a finger on his gums.

For those who don’t know, there’s a reason a person using cocaine makes such a move to their mouth, as explained by Icarus Behavioral Health:

“Gumming, or rubbing cocaine powder on the gums, is a method some users rely on for two reasons. They (a) want to test the purity before the purchase of or use of cocaine. Or (b), they want to feel a cocaine high almost immediately.”

“The gums have many blood vessels, enabling cocaine absorption into the body quickly. This speedier absorption means the person can get high faster than smoking or snorting cocaine.”

That led Jimmy Kimmel to note on his show, “Let’s not jump to conclusion. Maybe he’s got some Fun Dip in there. Maybe his veneers were hurting and he needed a little dollop of Sensodyne.”

Social media joined the fun and took it from there.
