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.

I bet Duterte doesn’t provide any NARCAN.
On what?
Actually it is both a Air Force base (McChord) and an Army base Fr. Lewis). It is called Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). Most of the transport jets are flying in Army equipment and troops—and the drugs from the Golden Triangle. Air traffic there is busy as Ft Lewis is a major Army base for troop training and logistics for Asia.
Hell yeah! Give’ em the wood chipper!
I fine this harsh treatment and punishment for drug traffickers but we should add sex/human traffickers to the list!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of drugs are they producing in that Golden Triangle?
It’s not just hippies who are smoking pot.
Hey donald when will you arrest the mayor of oakland and kevin de leon for hiring an illegal alien
Duterte for Attorney General! ;-)
Donald can not arrest anyone. But his AG Sessions of the department of Justice can!
Self-defense is important in light of violent crime related to drug pushing, although it is only one part of the overall effort. For those who are interested, remember to study more, train and continue to train in order to lower the risks.
GUN LAWS

There are many YouTube videos that are helpful: videos presented by police officers and other qualified instructors.
Also be sure to get some training in person from a good school or instructor with a range—especially for those of you in constitutional carry states. There’s nothing like experiencing how you interact with experienced teachers and other lifelong learners face to face. It’s a great way to get to know some of your neighbors in the context of carrying and to develop more trust with them.
Join a Second Amendment organization that offers training and directions to schools. Get insurance in case you someday need legal representation! It’s cheap!
For those of you who carry, remember to always become more educated, and also of utmost importance, *be calm.*
Yes, being able to defend yourselves is only tangentially related to the horrible drug problem, but it’s importantly related!
Be cohesive, calm, polite and unafraid. Help solve the drug problem.
President Trump was back in form today. Melania was at his side, it sounded like a speech with Steve Miller input, Jeff Sessions was there and being given credit for his accomplishments, and ending the opioid crisis is clearly something President Trump cares about deeply cares about deeply.
The buck stops in the oval office. In the immortal words of W, he IS the decider. Those people work for him.
The POTUS can not go out and put handcuffs on anyone. He does not even have handcuffs in White House. He can however direct people who work at his pleasure, such as AG Sessions to execute his orders.
Xanax must not be addictive. I still have a partially used prescription bottle of Xanax from 1990 when I had a health episode and the emergency room doctor prescribed it to me.
AS for JBLM in Tacoma, Wa, I would deploy drug sniffing dogs in a surprise hit, to check out these transport planes. Even if they were empty, the trace scent would still be there. Then I would look at the records of where the planes have been and arrest all those who had responsibility for them. The commander of the base would have to step down if traces of drugs--or drugs--were found.
Trump might first start at the CIA and Pentagon both notorious heroin smugglers
I said the president is responsible. I din’t think you would take him arresting so literally. When I said the buck stops there, i hope you understand the reference. Trump is responsible for Obama, clinton, Lynch, Rice, and the two Cal officials being free and walking around. it doesn’t take 14 months to indict and start a trial on people. If you don’t get arrested fro trying to pull a coup d’tat and wiretappin a political opponent what would they have to do beside shooting some one in front cameras?
Clinton could have been indicted last January based on Comey’s conclusion she was extraordinarily careless with classified info and had an unauthorized server. The the other allegation should have been investigated while she sat in jail from the first conviction.
The whole speech tied everything together in a concise manner and is another example of the art of the deal and leveraging what you have to leverage.
