Well, now you probably understand that Trump is not really anti-drug/anti-cartel. Nor do I think he's pro-drug/pro-cartel. I think he doesn't actually care except in how those issues affect his political career and public profile. Many of Trump's more ... let's call them "random" seeming statements and actions make much more sense if you look at them through the lens of "he doesn't actually care one way or the other".


Trump is pro-Trump. That's it.


Well, also pro-publicity and pro-distraction (firehose). Of course those are ultimately self-benefiting too.
