AND HAS CALLED FOR ALCOHOL TO BE REGULATED LIKE A DRUG Trump Said That Alcohol “Should Be Listed As A Drug, Obviously.” KING: “How about allowing the Food and Drug Administration to control it, which the Supreme Court is going to listen to? Would you list it as a drug?” TRUMP: “It wouldn't -- well, it should be listed as a drug, obviously. I mean, when I have friends that are the toughest, smartest people you'll ever meet and they can't stop smoking, they start shaking if you tell them they can't have a cigarette. And I've had them in the house, I said, do me a favor, don't smoke in my house, and you see these tough guys start to shake like babies. I've never seen anything like it.

I've never had a drink in my life because of the fact that I had a brother that had a problem with alcohol….I don't drink for that reason….They're taxed. I'd like to see them sued. You know what I don't - - I hope a lot of lawyers are watching tonight. Why is it that everybody is suing the tobacco companies and nobody sues the alcohol companies. I mean, you have the car crashes and the kids that get killed by some drunk that's, you know, riding on the road. It's just terrible.
