I loved what he said about drug dealers....

Trump said that allowing prosecutors to seek the death penalty for drug dealers is “a discussion we have to start thinking about. I don’t know if this country’s ready for it.”.....“Do you think the drug dealers who kill thousands of people during their lifetime, do you think they care who’s on a blue-ribbon committee?” Trump asked. “The only way to solve the drug problem is through toughness. When you catch a drug dealer, you’ve got to put him away for a long time.”

“The only way to solve the drug problem is through toughness. When you catch a drug dealer, you’ve got to put him away for a long time.”

What a total crock. The responsibility lies 100% with the individual user—not the supplier. Blaming anyone else is collectivist garbage and an insult to individual responsibility. Same with guns, etc.

Carrol O'Connor tried to soothe his conscience by blaming the dealer for his son's drug-related death. I'll never believe that the responsibility lies anywhere but with the individual.

The same copout socialist thinking is used to attack tobacco companies, liquor store clerks, bartenders, etc. Never will such scapegoating be legitimate...
