It's almost like he's a criminally corrupt fascist who possesses zero morals, ethics, or virtues; like the vast majority of "leaders" who succeed under capitalism.
But I thought Trump was very against drug traffickers and that's why he is currently targeting Venezuela? /s
We're going to WAR with Venezuela to STOP Drug Traffickers!
- You misspelled oil.
  
  We're going to WAR with Venezuela to OIL Drug Traffickers
  Took care of it for you.
But cocaine is a rich white guy drug, so it's perfectly fine!
And probably flooded trumps pockets with greenbacks
So he's admitting George Bush committed crimes??
- My first thought was Reagan
  
  The Reagan administration flooded the US with cocaine, or more like enabled, directed and turned a blind eye to trafficking from South America. It's pretty complicated but from what I understand the Administration was backing Colombian rebels who made money selling cocaine to the US. The CIA would ensure their shipments were safe and pushed a ton of it in poor communities, causing the crack epidemic. This is all from memory and could be completely incorrect.
- You think he wouldn't throw Bush, or any past Republican figure, under the bus in a second if it benefits him?
Persecution and prosecution mean the same thing, right?
