Former President Donald Trump expressed empathy for President Joe Biden this week, acknowledging the challenges families face when dealing with addiction. Trump shared that he has firsthand knowledge of the negative effects addiction can have on a family, although he did not provide specific details about the family members he was referring to. He mentioned that addiction is a serious issue that can have severe consequences for individuals and their loved ones, regardless of whether it involves alcohol or drugs. Trump’s brother, Fred Trump, had a public battle with alcoholism that ultimately contributed to his death in 1981. President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has also struggled with substance abuse, which has been well-documented in his memoir. Despite the challenges, President Biden has expressed unconditional support for his son. Trump emphasized the importance of support and understanding for families affected by addiction, acknowledging the pain and hardship it can bring.
