The White House is proving that when it comes to drugs destroying white communities, there are no limits to what it is willing to do to stop the threat, including death: to the dealers, not the users.

Because the White House is completely invested in solving the opioid epidemic, which disproportionately affects white people, it is willing to kill the people who sell them drugs.
According to Politico, Donald Trump is set to unveil a new plan that would call for the death penalty as an option when drug dealing and trafficking are โdirectly responsible for deathโ in cases involving opioids.
The plan, which is still being finalized, could be released early next week. But Trump has been gushing privately for weeks about using the death penalty in drug cases in which the user dies. Because Trump canโt stop campaigning, heโs even praised countries that execute drug lords, The Hill reports:
โIf you go to Singapore, I said, โMr. President, what happens with your drugs?โ โWe donโt have a problem. We have a zero tolerance. We have a different type of people,โโ Trump said in discussing Singaporeโs policies, according to The Hill.
โThey donโt play games,โ he continued. โI said, โHow are you doing on drugs?โ โNo problem.โ I said, โWhat do you mean no problem?โ โWe have a zero tolerance policy.โ โWhat does that mean?โ โThat means if we catch a drug dealer, death penalty.โโ
Politico notes that Trumpโs plan is expected to include recommendations from his opioid commission and is a mixture of increased law enforcement measures and increased prevention and treatment, among other efforts.
Because the opioid addiction largely affects swaths of white communities, this divisive and openly racist-ass administration declared it an epidemic and a national public health emergency in October, which it last extended in January.
Sounds like the Trump administration plans to criminalize those who sell the drug while working on treatment plans for those who use the drug. We wonโt know this for sure until the plan is released, but I assure you that there is nothing racist to see here. Nope, not one thing.
