“Have some very severe problems”: Donald Trump makes an unexpected remark before predicting press’s next move

Donald Trump reportedly admitted something unusual about himself during his White House event and confessed he had gone through severe problems. When he realised that the press would interpret it, he immediately diverted the concern by throwing a joke at his former personal criminal defence lawyer, Todd Blanche, because he didn't want the media to get involved in his health issue. Mediaite reported that while speaking about his administration's support for providing first responders with Narcan, the President suddenly remarked,

"If you don't drink, or if you don't take drugs, or if you don't smoke, there's no problem. I have other problems. I have some very severe problems. But those are not among them. I don't want to add them to the list."

Soon after, the President tried to take back his words because he felt that the press was going to ask about his current health issues. According to 9 News, Trump later joked that the press would ask what problem he had and try to figure it out. Therefore, he set himself up for that situation.

Trump compared drug use with alcohol and smoking and stressed that abstinence was the only solution. He mentioned that he had avoided those habits and admitted that he faced other serious problems.
