Trump says “toughness” includes the death penalty
Mr. Trump commends the DOJ’s action in prosecuting drug trafficking crimes, saying “If you break the law and illegally peddle these deadly poisons, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will hold you accountable.”
“If we don’t get tough on the drug dealers we’re waisting our time. That toughness includes the death penalty,” he said of a more controversial measure to targeting drug traffickers
He added, “If we’re not going to get tough on the drug dealers, we are just doing the wrong thing we have got to get tough.”
Mr. Trump said the crisis will be solved with “brains, resolve and toughness” saying blue ribbon committees are not doing enough to battle the epidemic.
“This is about winning a very , very tough problem, if we don’t get very tough on these dealers, it’s not going to happen folks, and I want to win this battle,” he added.
The president said he doesn’t want to leave the White House and still “have this problem.”
