Except for his Adderall supplier.
Of course he wants that. So he can be in the real dictators club.

This is sadly not new. In the past he has expressed admiration for Duerte’s policies.

This was in 2018.

Trump doesn’t know what drug laws are, and Trump doesn’t care what drug laws are, but he wants people to talk about him constantly, and he gets what he wants.

Those aren’t drugs, though, they’re medicine.

Remember when Donald Trump decided the best guy to run the VA was Ronny Jackson, a physician who was so well known for his propensity to distribute party drugs that people privately referred to him as “The Candyman” and “Dr. Feelgood?”

For treason and bribery, the penalty is apparently a stern talking to.

Oh! Oh! Here’s an idea! As soon as your cumulative wealth across accounts shows you’re “worth” $1B, you get executed!

Well, he certainly seems to be taking this whole criminal justice reform thing seriously.

  1. President Biff just likes to execute people, and doesn’t even care if they are exonerated. If hey says they are guilty, they are guilty, no matter what the evidence says, or the courts.
  2. “Drug dealers” are just placeholders for Untermenschen. He isn’t so far from approving an Endlösung as you may think.

Yep.

“ Donald Trump played a role in the tragic story, taking out full-page ads in four New York City newspapers that called for the death penalty for the accused. All five were fully exonerated in 2002 after the real perpetrator confessed to the crime from prison, supported by DNA evidence.”

Exactly. He still fumes that they should have been put to death, that they are animals, and whatever else his dementia still dredges up.

He also doesn’t care about why people use drugs. To him addiction is simply a sign of weakness rather than a disease.
