Monday

"The president is in awe of Singapore’s policy of punishing drug traffickers with the death penalty, and has been telling people for months that it’s the reason the country’s drug-consumption levels are so low. 'He says that a lot,' a source said. 'He says, ‘When I ask the prime minister of Singapore do they have a drug problem [the prime minister replies,] ‘No. Death penalty.' Five sources who have spoken with Trump about the issue say he has a habit of declaring drug dealers to be no better than serial killers. 'Trump has said he would love to have a law to execute all drug dealers here in America,' "
