Can you imagine the disaster if that wasn't the case? ", he declared, laughing...
Donald Trump does not drink alcohol and according to him, that is good news for everyone. "I can honestly say that I have never had a beer in my life," the American president declared this Monday during a press conference.
"It's one of my rare qualities: I don't drink," he continued, in a joking tone, in front of a group of journalists installed in the garden of the White House. "Can you imagine the disaster if that wasn't the case?"
Beware of the moralizers
The President of the United States was questioned about the relationship with alcohol of Brett Kavanaugh, his nominee for the Supreme Court. The judge is accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her in the early 1980s. Donald Trump admitted that his protégé was not "perfect" on this subject. But he immediately tempered his statement, warning against those who lecture, insisting that Democratic senators were not "angels".

For their part, Internet users quickly corrected the president's remarks, with supporting evidence. Several tweets showing photos of Donald Trump with a glass of alcohol in his hand were shared to denounce this umpteenth "fake news".
