Trump taking on the drug cartels is the best thing he has ever done!

Trump wants a war on cartels. Mexico's president says he should start by combatting guns and addiction

After President Trump announced a military coalition to fight cartels and mocked Mexico's refusal to allow operations there, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the U.S. should address drug demand and stop illegal arms trafficking.

This Left wing rag of a news story attempts to attack Trump for taking on the drug cartels, while he mocks the Mexican president for not wanting to join forces with him to take down these drug cartels.

But per usual, the Left wing Mexican President put all the blame on America, stating that if it were not for guns from America, and for the great demand for those drugs, there would not be a problem with the drug cartels. So, instead of going after the law breakers who are armed to the teeth, blame America instead, per usual.

Trump sums up the Mexican President best when he stated,
“We must recognize [that] the epicenter of cartel violence is Mexico,” Trump continued. “The Mexican cartels are fueling and orchestrating much of the bloodshed and chaos in this hemisphere. And the United States government will do whatever is necessary to defend our national security and protect the safety of the American people.”

The comments were among the strongest to date about Mexico from Trump, who has previously said Mexico is “run” by drug traffickers and that Sheinbaum is “so afraid of the cartels that she can’t even think.”
No truer words have been spoken.

Eighty-eight politicians or candidates in Mexico were killed between September 2020 and the June 2021 Mexican legislative election.

The Left-wing Mexican President knows this and does not want to be added to the list.

But the issue is not just the fact that the drug cartels kill about 200 Americans every day with their lethal drugs, there is also the oppression of the people south of the border.

They are taking over all industry in Mexico via extortion.

Hours after the head of the business chambers' federation in Tamaulipas state gave TV interviews complaining about extortion, he was shot to death outside his offices.

But the Left would have you believe that the best way to combat these cartels, is simply to outlaw guns in the US, if somehow the trillions of dollars these drug cartels bring in could not buy guns anywhere else around the world. Idiots!

Overdoses are way down...

 

[Yarddog]

Provisional data for 2025–2026 shows a significant, sustained decline in U.S. fentanyl-related overdose deaths, marking a potential turning point in the opioid crisis.

• Decline in Deaths: Drug overdose deaths in the U.S. fell by approximately 21% for the 12-month period ending August 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, continuing a downward trend that began in 2023.
• Fentanyl Impact: The sharp decrease is largely driven by a reduction in fentanyl-related deaths, which fell by nearly 30% in a year.
• Projections: Researchers and CDC data suggest overdose deaths continued to fall through late 2025, with preliminary reports predicting 72,108 deaths in the 12 months ending in September 2025, a 18.9% decline compared to the previous year.
• Reasons for Decline: The rapid decline is believed to be due to a "supply shock," or decrease in fentanyl potency, potentially caused by decreased purity or a shift in the illicit market.
• Regional Trends: In San Francisco, despite a slight plateau, overdose deaths in early 2026 are trending toward the lowest levels since the city began tracking monthly counts in 2020, with fentanyl remaining the primary driver of fatal overdoses.

That SKANK president of Mexico is lucky she's not locked up with Maduro! Mexico has enabled flooding the USA with highly addictive drugs and made billions off killing several hundred thousand Americans. After we finish with Iran we should bomb Mexico to F'ing rubble and machine gun these drug cartel assholes on sight!

That's because Trump likes skanks.

As are Venezuelan speed boats travelling across the Gulf of America in the dead of night are at the bottom of the sea, that is.

Coincidence?

Mexican President claims It is DEMAND! That is the issue.

Not supply of the ILLEGAL DRUGS CROSSING THE BORDER.



No need to go after the cartels that are illegally bringing drugs into the USA.

Mexican President IS a cartel member.

 

[Votto]

Make no mistake about it, Trump has courage. He has to know that his war on the cartels will lead them to kill him off like they have done with Mexican politicians south of the border.

Hell, Iran has already tried to kill him for taking out their general who had the blood of thousands of Americans during his first term, and he took a bullet from the Left in Butler PA as well.

Whatever you may think of him, at least he has courage, courage I have never seen from any American politician and sadly, probably will never see again.

It is hard to say to what extent the government is helping the drug cartels. Are they simply trying to ignore what they are doing, or is the government involved in promoting it like we saw in Venezuela?

China was also aiding the Fentanyl epidemic as it funded the exportation of it across the Mexican border into the US.

She gives no accountability to the CARTELS?

COME ON.

She is a Leftists. Therefore, she has no choice but to blame the problem on American guns and American lust for drugs. She expects the world to believe, for example, that all that money the drug cartels have could not be used to buy arms and guns anywhere in the world, other than America.

She seems to even indicate that going after the cartels will increase violence, as if somehow the cartels help maintain law and order in her own country.

Very strange those Leftists.

If it were me, I would send armies of never-ending drones after the drug cartels and not give two shits about the Mexican President whining about her sovereignty.

I have zero empathy for these cartels, as I have seen too many people, especially children, die from these subhuman shit stains.

I mean really, the US has sent armies of drones after terrorists all over the world. I ask you, what terrorist organization kills about 200 Americans every day? None, that's how many.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Lefties will side with cartels over Trump.

Sex trafficking minors? It is ok unless Trump is involved.

Why do you think Prohibition was repealed? Because demand CREATES crime when it is outlawed

And oh yeah. Not only do we supply the profits to them… we sell them the guns

Trump-47's war on the drug cartels is saving about 200,000 US lives compared to the 400,000 lives lost during Biden's open borders and cocaine in the WH term.

Coincidence?

Nothing quite like a few extra-judicial executions of suspects in non capital crimes to get the Neo-GOP's blood lust going.
However, there were none of these executions in the Gulf of Mexico. The boats were not heading for the USA, nor is it likely they were they smuggling Fentanyl. Most likely it was Cocaine headed for the Caribbean.

Dead drug runners is always a good thing.
FYI fentanyl is mixed with cocaine to make it more addictive and deadly.
Trump is saving about 200,000 US lives compared to the Biden open border disaster and 400,000 US dead.

You mean it didn’t save a single American life?

Given that this downward trend started after Joe Biden told Xi to stop shipping fentanyl ingredients to Mexico, I would say that once again, Trump is taking credit for Biden's work.

But he decriminalized pot on the federal level thereby expanding the potential market here in the US for cartels.
Absolutely stupid move.
