Trump also criticized Democrats for opposing his proposed wall on the Southern border.
Eventually the Democrats will agree with us to build the wall and keep the damn drugs out, he said, prompting chants of build that wall in the room.
The president criticized sanctuary city policies for allowing illegal immigrants and drug dealers to remain in the country. He called on Congress to end funding for sanctuary cities.
If we are not going to get tough on the drug dealers who kill thousands of people and destroy so many peoples lives, we are just doing the wrong thing, he said. We have got to get tough.
Trump specifically vowed to empower law enforcement to crack down on the supply of drugs, including prescription drug reforms targeting doctors and drug companies.
I love tough guys, we need tough guys, Trump said, pointing out an ICE agent in the audience.
The audience in New Hampshire cheered Trumps proposed solutions, many of them wearing red Make America Great Again campaign hats in support of the president.
The president also announced a plan to create more advertisements to scare young people away from opioid addiction, much like cigarette advertisements.
The best way to beat the drug crisis is to keep people from getting hooked on drugs to begin with, he said.
He promised that the Department of Justice was considering a federal lawsuit against some of the drug companies who manufacture opioids. Trump also announced plans to provide narcan to first responders in areas devastated by opioid addiction. Narcan helps block the effects of opioids, especially in overdose situations.
I want to win this battle, I dont want to leave at the end of seven years and have this problem, Trump said.

Make sure to install spikes on the top of the wall so we can place their heads on them too, this will deter them!
Hey I like that idea. It will feed the local wild life and then turn to skulls afterwards.
A big problem:
Like a virus that wants to avoid killing the host, the bureaucracy and LEO’s fight the “war” just enough to maintain appearances but keep the gravy train going.
“It’s OUR war”.
The Democrats will eventually agree to build a wall to keep the drugs out? LMAO, they love their drugs as much as they love illegal immigrants!!! ;)
What about our traffickers in legal drugs, also known as psychiatrists? Feeling down? Outbursts of anger? Got a kid who won’t sit still? No need to go to a street hood — see your shrink. There’s a pill for every mental confition.
Good idea. Maybe a second chance at the traitor Bergdahl, who has more recently been arrested for involvement with drug trafficing.
Drugs don’t come overland. They come in through the sea ports, through the road network, and through aircraft. The wall is not going to end drugs coming into the country or even put a dent in it. There are other reasons justifying the wall but the opioid epidemic is not one.
When I was on vacation in Singapore, there were visible large sign-posts everywhere declaring death sentence for convicted drug peddlers. Singapore has no drug problem!
All good ideas if properly implemented in the law.
By Congress.
I can support the death penalty of major dealers of drugs that kill...cocaine, meth, opioids etc.
But not for pot. Not even major dealers.
Pablo Escobar, yes.
The hippie down the street, no.
Heard today China and the fentanyl smuggling into this country, we are being attacked from within and from all sides, we need to get a handle on this
You obviously don't live in Arizona. They come by the tons everyday across land.
It has very little crime in general and also very little littering. Michael Fay learned the lesson of running afoul of Singapore.
Imagine...there is no drugs possessions...
It’s easy if you try
No drugs on the street
Above us only sky
Nothing to kill or die for
Imagine all the people living high on drugs...
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us to puff on some crack
And the world will be as one
Imagine all the people sharing all the drugs
But then Lennon did recognize the benefits as well...
Imagine...prisons will be half size...
Imagine...half the judges required...
Imagine...half the lawyers to prosecute & defend druggies
Imagine...half the bailiffs, half court clerks...
Imagine...half the court buildings & maintenance
Imagine if you can...
Oh yes, and majority population is either Chinese, Indians or Arabs. But there are no race wars because trouble makers are promptly jailed or deported.
I have word that military transport jets are flying in illegal drugs into Fr. Lewis AFB in Tacoma, Washington. What does that say to the problem? Pockets are being lined. Officials are turning a blind eye, blinded by the color of greeeeeeeeeeeen!
Are there a lot of planes at that Ft Lewis AFB?
Drug companies shipped nearly 21 million opioid painkillers to a town with 2,900 people
