I know lots of Americans who have done drugs, and quite a few people who have died from them, and they were all American, all of them, even though I've spent much of my adult life outside of the US. Mao in China, Duterte in the Philippines, Lee in Singapore, those guys actually greatly reduced the volume of drugs in their countries by targeting people bringing them in and/or possessing them in their countries. Trump isn't reducing the amount of dope dealers or crack whores in the USA. At best, he's merely helping the Venezuelans' competition in Mexico and elsewhere, doing them a huge favor by giving them a bigger share of the market. If Trump was genuinely serious about reducing fentanyl in the USA, he'd outlaw the prescription of opioids as pain killers. I was prescribed Percocet by a doctor in Lawton, Oklahoma a quarter century ago, when I was a young man for a very minor issue. I didn't take any of them, fortunately, so I didn't get addicted to opioids. I was prescribed pain killers outside of the USA after a vasectomy, an appendectomy, and a hernia operation, but I was never prescribed opioids outside of the USA. It's insane that they're prescribed in the USA so often. They shouldn't be, as it's a root cause of the massive amounts of opioid deaths in the US. People in nearly all other developed nations live longer than Americans and they rarely need opioids outside of a hospital or hospice setting. Trump doesn't want to step on the toes of his billionaire buddies in Big Pharma. He doesn't care about Americans hooked on opioids or dying from fentanyl. He doesn't care about them or that. It's all about money.
