Former President Donald Trump offered rare words of empathy to President Biden this week regarding the impacts of addiction. Trump told Fox News during a Thursday interview that he understood well the negative effect that addiction can have on a family, speaking from personal experience.

Fred Trump's addiction eventually compromised his day-to-day life and contributed to the heart attack that took his life in 1981. "It’s a very tough situation for a father; it’s a very tough situation for a brother or sister; and it goes on, and it’s not stopping, whether it’s alcohol or drugs or whatever it may be," Trump continued in the interview with Fox News.
