Some on the far-right are desperately trying to pin allegations related to the use of illegal drugs on political opponents of former President Donald Trump including President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Jack Smith, who at the Justice Department is now handling multiple Trump probes.
That list includes Donald himself.
As probably everyone who closely follows political news has heard by now, a small amount of cocaine was recently discovered on White House grounds. There’s no evidence tying the restricted and dangerous substance to the president or anyone close to him in the White House… but that hasn’t stopped Republicans! In recent comments on Truth Social that were particularly ridiculous, Trump said that Smith himself had the appearance of a “crackhead.” Donald is really at the bottom of the rhetorical barrel with his attempted defenses.
“Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden,” Donald self-confidently wrote on Truth Social. “But watch, the Fake News Media will soon start saying that the amount found was “very small,” & it wasn’t really COCAINE, but rather common ground up Aspirin, & the story will vanish. Has Deranged Jack Smith, the crazy, Trump hating Special Prosecutor, been seen in the area of the COCAINE? He looks like a crackhead to me!”
Well, the oddly specific conspiracy theory from Trump about mainstream media sources claiming the cocaine was really just aspirin has unsurprisingly not actually played out. And it obviously goes mostly without saying that there’s no evidence tying the substance’s presence at the White House to Smith, either. That’s not even where he and his team ordinarily work, for starters! Meanwhile, Trump is generally expected by many to face criminal charges in the second probe from Smith, which deals with conspiracies after the last presidential race to keep Donald in power despite his loss to Biden.
