MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (Reuters) - President Donald Trump attacked his critics, promoted his steel and aluminum tariffs and tossed out an idea to have drug dealers face the death penalty, addressing a raucous rally on Saturday for a Republican congressional candidate in a tight race.

There has never been an embattled Democrat or a controversial liberal entertainer/host in the history of media.
Two years ago I always was uncomfortable with DJT when be started the personal chit with his opponents-Little Marco, Lyin' Ted, Low-Energy Jeb etc.
Tonight he calls Chuck Todd a "sleepy son of a bitch" and says Maxine Water is "low I.Q.", and it doesn't get a yawn out of me.
A couple of weeks ago Martha Raddatz called PIAPS "Crooked Hillary" during a live interview-The Times They Are A Changing".
He stands in stark contrast to all the spineless ninnies that have held the office in my lifetime with the exception of Reagan.
Amen
GHWB & GWB are both target rich environments.
Pot is poision! It is the greatest threat facing this nation. Just ask Sleepy Jeff Sessions. Its so important he does not have time to even look into lesser crimes like Hillary’s fake dossier and lying to FISA Court.
Trump is better than Reagan. Much better speaker and far more energy.
Would the death penalty apply to owners of marijuana dispensaries in places where it is legal?
Much of what Singapore does to ensure an orderly society was made illegal in the US in 1791 when the Bill of Rights was ratified.
There are countless parents, some of whom are celebrities or are very wealthy, who are a micron away from blowing away drug dealers who have taken their sons and daughters to the grave or to incapacitation.
Drug dealers are scum, devilish scum. Society won’t miss them.
I welcome Trump removing the boxing gloves. The pundits will lose their minds Sunday morning. But it will not change one Trump vote in November. See you at the poles in November.
“It seems more humane for a civilized society to permanently end their suffering ”
So go kill a few yourself then, tough guy.

Don’t do the crime unless you are willing to pay the price. Dealing drugs is dealing death. You seem OK with that. Shame on you!
Or “arch-liberal” or “left-wing firebrand.”
Sycophant much? You deal pot? Or just buy it?
Be careful before jumping on the death penalty for drug dealing because you never know if jr. Is selling pot or a little bit of Coke or ecstasy at college.
I expect if the death penalty were imposed, we’re looking at 10x Singapore’s limits.
Yea, but it’s the bigger fish that drew her in. Those are the ones you want to make examples of. Kinda makes the idea of be a little fish all the more unappealing.
“If we were more like Singapore...”
If so, I couldn’t leave fast enough.
I really don’t think she’s the one Trump was referring to.
I love TRUMP. It’s a great night hearing him speak. Loved going to his Hershey rally...
But we’re not. We’re not an authoritarian state. We are a Republic with guaranteed freedoms, and due process.
Prior to the 60’s, and the downward spiral of the American court system, we used to execute murderers as quickly* 3 years after their arrest, including all appeals. Not sure if the Supremes put a crimp on expedited trials and appeals, but we are now at 20 years for Death Row prisoners.
* Sacco and Vanzetti were fried 7 years after their arrest. Hickock and Smith, the murderers of the Clutter family depicted in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, were executed just over 5 years after their arrest. But Bruno Hauptmann, the Lindbergh baby killer, was executed just 1-1/2 years after his arrest.
