-Wants us to be more like China and Singapore-...fucking idiot.
President Donald Trump announced a new plan on Monday to combat the opioid crisis that includes sentencing some drug traffickers to the death penalty when appropriate under current law. During an afternoon speech in New Hampshire, in which he also placed some blame for the opioid crisis on immigrants, the president praised countries that dont play games on drugs and called for changes. We have to change the laws, he said.
New Hampshire has been hard hit by opioids, which have contributed to spikes in overdose deaths in recent years. The White Houses plan will also include calls for stricter enforcement, including the invocation of mandatory minimum sentences for lower levels of some opioids, more public awareness and expanded access to treatment and recovery programs.
The announcement to push executions fits with Trumps previous statements on the death penalty and drug dealers.
Last week, he said drug dealers kill 2,000, 3,000, 5,000 people during the course of his or her life and only go to jail for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days you might get a year during a rally for a Republican candidate in Pennsylvania. During that rally, the president said that China and Singapore dont have drug problems because they have the death penalty for dealers.

He's all for the death penalty now but when it was his helicopter pilot, he pulled out all of the stops to help him. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210381094

I guess he isn't all bad as after all. He put a price on El Cheapo's head.
