His comments about using the death penalty for drug dealers also made perfect sense.
Many states already have laws that allow for anyone associated with a crime that involves the death of someone, be charged with murder.
Why did Trump write a letter of recommendation for a convicted cocaine dealer if he's so concerned about drug abuse?
Trump, Who Talks About Executing Drug Dealers, Vouched For Two of Them
"The cocaine dealer was
Joseph Weichselbaum. He was indicted for heading a Colombia-Miami-Middle America cocaine ring in 1985, even the helicopter service owned by him and his brother Franklin was getting more than $2 million a year from Trump to ferry high rollers to and from his casinos in Atlantic City.
"The charges against Joseph Weichselbaum were brought in Cincinnati, but after he pled guilty there, the case was mysteriously transferred to New Jersey for sentencing and assigned to Trump’s sister, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry.
"She recused herself two weeks later, reportedly in part because
she and her husband had taken rides in Weichselbaum choppers..."
"'A credit to the community… conscientious, forthright and diligent,' Trump wrote in a missive first reported by the late, great Wayne Barrett.
"More minor participants in the drug ring were hit with as much as 20 years.
"But the kingpin Weichselbaum got just three years.
"He served only 18 months and then was released to a halfway house."
