There's no evidence Trump has ever driven a damn car.
He has never mowed a lawn.
He has never shoveled a walk.
He has never changed a lightbulb.
He has never washed dishes.
He has said he never ever changed a diaper and he has four children.

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

There's a legal argument about this being killing 'enemies' first without due porcess, etc.
But before that we need to push for the actual evidence that these are drug cartels. The idea that Trump is murdering innocent people is unbelievable inmoral and evil. That needs to be settled.

"Trump and his top White House aides pushed for lethal strikes on Western Hemisphere drug traffickers almost as soon as they took office in January, and in the past 10 months have repeatedly steamrolled or sidestepped government lawyers who questioned whether the provocative policy was legal"
White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats
The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.
