Trump: "I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them."

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Why don't we kill them? That's right, they get sent to a Club Fed while awaiting their pardons. Sex trafficking, a form of slavery, is at least as big a problem as drugs.

Trump the Psychopath has been waiting all his life to be able to kill human beings without legal repercussions. He revealed this with his "Shoot someone on 5th Avenue" warning.

Venezuelans are just a practice run.

I hope he lives long enough to face REAL justice.

Forget about presidential immunity. Hand him over to the international Criminal Court, just as we did with GW Bush for his war crimes in Iraq.

Oh, wait. Nevermind.

My guess is that the cartel prefers Trump's approach because if Trump just kills drug smugglers there are no witnesses to worry about, no deals to be made for testimony.

And for every 1 smuggler that is killed, many more make it safely.
