AFA this incident goes, I’m most curious as to how DJTJ handles his stash in his pocket. What kind of container was it, and how do you pull out a dose without losing some on your clothes? I’m sure he’s had a lot of practice, as easy as he makes it look.

What incident? And I’m guessing that DJTJ is Donald Trump Jr., and this has something to do with drug use?

(Don’t assume that we all know what you’re talking about, and please don’t just give a video link.)

Add me to the people who have no idea what “this incident” is, or what the thread title or question mean.

And wasn’t DJTJ a punk club in the East Village?

Donald John Trump JR, son of the president elect, was caught on camera dosing himself with something from his pocket, presumably drugs, probably illicit. This is the [video of the action](https://youtu.be/KYM2Nsa_NTA?t=1211). Sorry for the confusion.

There’s not enough of anything in that clip to come to that conclusion. Do people normally take drugs by sticking one finger into their mouth and rubbing a spot on their upper lip? If anything it looks more like he thought he had something stuck between his teeth.

Regardless of this particular incident, it’s fairly clear that all of the degenerate Trumpists are drug abusers, especially the offspring …

They have all the intelligence of a rutabaga. Eric Trump, who appears to be the stupidest of the bunch of that genetically benighted family, recently issued a video in which he tried to reinforce his father’s position that if countries act contrary to the interests of the US, “we will tariff them”. He seems to not have a clue about the difference between “sanctions” and “tariffs”, and none of them appear to understand who actually pays the costs of tariffs.

LOL. On the off-chance that wasn’t an intentional funny, the club was CBGB.

I agree, that looks like someone first trying to pick out a thing with his finger, and then trying to worry it out with his tongue.

That being said, am i horrible of i don’t care very much whether junior abuses drugs? He’s not going to be the president, and… does it really matter to me?

Part of my question was how one can safely transport dope in their pocket and access it with their finger without losing it. The container would have to have a lid, I think.

They sell vials with a little coke spoon conveniently attached to the screw-top lid. I assume that answers most people’s snorting needs.

He wasn’t snorting.

People who use cocaine definitely rub it on their gums, and it looks just like what Jr. is doing. However, in this case I’m not convinced that’s what’s happening.
