Trump has not been subtle about where he stands on the battlefield between law enforcement and the growing opioid epidemic. He has reportedly praised Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s response to the drug crisis where drug dealers are given the death penalty.
“[They] don’t have a drug problem. They just kill them,” Trump allegedly said in White House conversations, according to Axios’ Jonathan Swan.
At a March 10 rally for Pennsylvania Republican candidate Rick Saccone, Trump said those places “have [a] zero tolerance policy.”
“If they catch a drug dealer, it is then a death penalty,” Trump said.
You guys see where this is going, right?
That's not what I was implying. He is going to relaunch the federal response to the drug epidemic, which will increase heavily the penalties for trafficking and selling, and that in turn will facilitate the DEA going after distributors in states that have "legalized" drugs.
