Donald Trump talks parenting on Andrew Schulz's podcast: ‘No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes'

Donald Trump recently appeared on comedian Andrew Schulz's popular podcast Flagrant, where the former president covered a range of topics in a relaxed, humorous atmosphere. This appearance comes as Trump continues to attract attention in the lead-up to the 2024 election, using various platforms to connect with younger audiences—something which Barron Trump is reportedly helping him with.

Trump, who recently made headlines for his bizarre remarks in his rallies, casually joined the podcast, engaging with Schulz and his co-hosts. He spoke about his life, presidency, and family, offering a glimpse into his thoughts on parenting.

Donald Trump's parenting rules: ‘No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes’

During the interview, Trump opened up about his parenting style, specifically how he raised his five children—Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany, and Barron. He shared that from a young age, he had strict boundaries on what was acceptable in the Trump household.

The 78-year-old—who wanted to have more children with wife Melania—emphasized the importance of ‘no substance use.’ On being asked ‘how you raise your kids in the public eye,’ the former POTUS revealed that while he has five very different kids, he had one common rule of parenting for all of them.

Going into detail he explained that whenever he spent time with them or whenever they were leaving he would make them 'crazy' with the same saying all the time. And it was:

I would drive them crazy. No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes.

Trump explained that these rules were essential to ensure his children’s success, stressing that instilling discipline and ambition was key to their development. Reflecting on his own experiences, Trump noted that growing up in a wealthy family doesn't always guarantee successful or well-adjusted kids. He shared that many such children end up disliking their parents, particularly if pressured into certain careers.

Trump emphasized how his father was always proud of his achievements, which motivated him to strive for even more success.

Donald Trump’s response to ‘Barron Trump unleashed in New York City’

One of the more humorous moments during the interview came when Schulz joked about Trump’s youngest son, Barron, who recently turned 18 and is currently living in New York. Schulz playfully remarked that Barron, who is now ‘handsome, tall, and rich,’ has essentially been ‘unleashed’ in the city, reports MailOnline.

Referencing Barron’s newfound independence in New York, Schulz quipped:

Are you sure you want to reverse Roe v. Wade now?

Adding:

I mean, maybe give him a few years.

Trump smiled as Schulz asked his question and responded:

Well you know it's up to the states now, it's up to the states. I believe in exceptions and all of other different things.
