"If you make me SecDef I promise not to get drunk at work again."
There are plenty of qualified people who have never shown up to work wasted. Though I guess most of them wouldn't be willing to work for the orange shitgibbon.

I wish you the best in your fight, btw.

“Trust me bro. Ask any of my wives.”

Hey, yeah, the alcoholic will just quit drinking, no big deal. He could totally stop anytime.
How about you stay sober for 20 years and then we'll reconsider
He should probably pledge to go to AA, but alcohol consumption is probably mandatory for a proper Republican man.
How drunk was he when he said that?
Who cares? Drinking is not the main concern with this douchecanoe.
