Trump: ‘We Have Launched an All-Out War on Fentanyl Traffickers; It Is a War that We Are Going to Win’

Trump This department will ░░░░░░░░ rest until we have ░░░░░░░░ the fentanyl epidemic in ░░░░░░░░ once and for all ░░░░░░░░ less than two months ░░░░░░░░ I took office the ░░░░░░░░ and FBI have seized ░░░░░░░░ one million deadly doses ░░░░░░░░ fentanyl And that s ░░░░░░░░ the beginning applause At ░░░░░░░░ direction and working with ░░░░░░░░ and everybody else we ░░░░░░░░ launched an all out ░░░░░░░░ on fentanyl traffickers and ░░░░░░░░ s a war that ░░░░░░░░ re going to win ░░░░░░░░ re going to win ░░░░░░░░ war I spoke with ░░░░░░░░ president of Mexico very ░░░░░░░░ woman very fine woman ░░░░░░░░ I said let me ░░░░░░░░ you you re sending ░░░░░░░░ lot of drugs into ░░░░░░░░ country We re not ░░░░░░░░ it at all Can ░░░░░░░░ do that But I ░░░░░░░░ is Mexico does it ░░░░░░░░ much of a drug ░░░░░░░░ said no we re ░░░░░░░░ a consuming nation I ░░░░░░░░ it was an interesting ░░░░░░░░ And I said why ░░░░░░░░ which I ve heard ░░░░░░░░ by the way they ░░░░░░░░ not a consuming nation ░░░░░░░░ distribute but they don ░░░░░░░░ consume But I said ░░░░░░░░ are you not a ░░░░░░░░ well we re very ░░░░░░░░ with family I said ░░░░░░░░ we re very close ░░░░░░░░ family too I mean ░░░░░░░░ families are being devastated ░░░░░░░░ we re just as ░░░░░░░░ Why else She said ░░░░░░░░ we spend a lot ░░░░░░░░ money on advertising saying ░░░░░░░░ bad drugs are They ░░░░░░░░ very rough ads They ░░░░░░░░ the skin falling off ░░░░░░░░ the teeth falling out ░░░░░░░░ blind and losing hair ░░░░░░░░ everything that these things ░░░░░░░░ you look like you ░░░░░░░░ came out of a ░░░░░░░░ concentration camp And she ░░░░░░░░ it was they re ░░░░░░░░ ads And it s ░░░░░░░░ often that I feel ░░░░░░░░ ve learned something from ░░░░░░░░ phone call because I ░░░░░░░░ been I ve had ░░░░░░░░ lot of phone calls ░░░░░░░░ my life But I ░░░░░░░░ right then and there ░░░░░░░░ a great idea that ░░░░░░░░ And we have hired ░░░░░░░░ a great person who ░░░░░░░░ a lot of our ░░░░░░░░ work and we ve ░░░░░░░░ up with an advertising ░░░░░░░░ that s I think ░░░░░░░░ incredible More than anything ░░░░░░░░ It s terrible to ░░░░░░░░ terrible to watch It ░░░░░░░░ the only way it ░░░░░░░░ going to work And ░░░░░░░░ would be because we ░░░░░░░░ the numbers down 18 ░░░░░░░░ we d have a ░░░░░░░░ ribbon committee headed by ░░░░░░░░ First Lady of the ░░░░░░░░ States who everyone loves ░░░░░░░░ some of her friends ░░░░░░░░ you know they worked ░░░░░░░░ hard but it was ░░░░░░░░ s a tough it ░░░░░░░░ a tough deal They ░░░░░░░░ dealing with very smart ░░░░░░░░ very vicious people You ░░░░░░░░ some of those businesses ░░░░░░░░ cartels are run better ░░░░░░░░ any business in America ░░░░░░░░ say they re run ░░░░░░░░ not just here they ░░░░░░░░ over the world they ░░░░░░░░ run like a major ░░░░░░░░ but in many cases ░░░░░░░░ And I said we ░░░░░░░░ it 18 percent down ░░░░░░░░ 18 percent is incredible ░░░░░░░░ s like a record ░░░░░░░░ when you think of ░░░░░░░░ it s not very ░░░░░░░░ And the way you ░░░░░░░░ it down if you ░░░░░░░░ to get it down ░░░░░░░░ close to 100 percent ░░░░░░░░ with the death penalty ░░░░░░░░ I think maybe America ░░░░░░░░ not ready for that ░░░░░░░░ has the death penalty ░░░░░░░░ has the death penalty ░░░░░░░░ places have the death ░░░░░░░░ Wherever you have the ░░░░░░░░ penalty you don t ░░░░░░░░ drugs But I just ░░░░░░░░ t know if this ░░░░░░░░ is ready for it ░░░░░░░░ I tell people and ░░░░░░░░ s always an option ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ just don t know ░░░░░░░░ you re ready for ░░░░░░░░ And that s okay ░░░░░░░░ s nothing you can ░░░░░░░░ But what we re ░░░░░░░░ to do is we ░░░░░░░░ doing this campaign And ░░░░░░░░ think we can get ░░░░░░░░ down 50 5 0 ░░░░░░░░ with this campaign because ░░░░░░░░ people see all the ░░░░░░░░ things that these drugs ░░░░░░░░ to you and we ░░░░░░░░ especially focused on fentanyl ░░░░░░░░ they see all of ░░░░░░░░ horrible things that happen ░░░░░░░░ you take drugs how ░░░░░░░░ look you lose your ░░░░░░░░ Everyone s vain They ░░░░░░░░ t want to lose ░░░░░░░░ look A look is ░░░░░░░░ important and I think ░░░░░░░░ they see these things ░░░░░░░░ may say you know ░░░░░░░░ I m going to ░░░░░░░░ a pass but there ░░░░░░░░ big danger Pam and ░░░░░░░░ were talking about it ░░░░░░░░ A lot of people ░░░░░░░░ taking fentanyl and not ░░░░░░░░ knowing They think they ░░░░░░░░ doing something else or ░░░░░░░░ taking another drug but ░░░░░░░░ a much lower level ░░░░░░░░ they die You can ░░░░░░░░ on the pin think ░░░░░░░░ this the head of ░░░░░░░░ pin fentanyl and it ░░░░░░░░ too much and it ░░░░░░░░ kill the strongest person ░░░░░░░░ the room and it ░░░░░░░░ amazing But we re ░░░░░░░░ to do this campaign ░░░░░░░░ s going to be ░░░░░░░░ fairly soon Susie And ░░░░░░░░ think it s going ░░░░░░░░ have a big impact ░░░░░░░░ big impact I think ░░░░░░░░ we got it down ░░░░░░░░ another 30 35 points ░░░░░░░░ I really believe we ░░░░░░░░ I think that s ░░░░░░░░ incredible idea So I ░░░░░░░░ the president of Mexico ░░░░░░░░ it was a it ░░░░░░░░ a call on tariffs ░░░░░░░░ we talked about drugs ░░░░░░░░ she gave me an ░░░░░░░░ that I think will ░░░░░░░░ very successful and based ░░░░░░░░ what I saw it ░░░░░░░░ going to be amazing.”
