In an interview with Breitbart, President Trump indicated that he would be willing to label Mexican cartels as terrorist groups. More:
President Donald Trump told Breitbart News on Monday that his administration is thinking “very seriously” about labeling violent Mexican drug cartels, or factions of these cartels, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).
Asked by Deputy Political Editor Amanda House during a wide-ranging, exclusive Oval Office interview with Breitbart News whether his administration is considering designating factions of cartels, or cartels as a whole, as terrorist groups, Trump replied that he is.
“We are. We are,” Trump said. “We’re thinking about doing it very seriously. In fact, we’ve been thinking about it for a long time.”
“It’s psychological, but it’s also economic,” Trump continued. “As terrorists — as terrorist organizations, the answer is yes. They are.”
Militarizing the drug war overseas has been done before, but the War on Terror in the Middle East has drawn America’s resources away from problems in our own neighborhood. This could change that.
Hell, the decision is easy as far as I am concerned, We constantly fight other countries battles and lose our shirt, all while our own backyard is being invaded and slowly destroyed by Cartel scum. Heck, the cartels have been waging war on us for years, so why not take it directly to these bad actors, and these “ARE” the real bad actors and a severe threat to our way of life and the safety of our country. They spread that vile drug crap everywhere, so why not label their as*ses as terrorist organizations, and vaporize their asses back to the stone age too! Besides lets say President Trump does this and allocates a ton of resources go to killing these animals, right? What’s the left socialist AOC and Pelosi, Mad Maxine going to say, stop picking on the poor rich Cartels? Or is she going to stick up for the terrorist that kills American Citizen’s through their drugs and intimidation. A much harder justification to spread isn’t it, especially when it has nothing to do with color, asylum or any other issue but the eradication of “DRUGS”, Period! In other words, “PEST CONTROL”
It’s one thing that these Dem-on’s idlots want to let these illegals go free in sanctuary cities, but how about when we wage “WAR” on these cartels with precision strikes, tremendous firepower, drones, and especially if needed for boots on the ground, then our Men and Women. Shlt, are they not already in danger in overseas shlt*hole countries, so why not let them fight closer to home.
Is Crazy Pelosi and Mad Maxine, or even Cryin Chucky, or even AOC, going to stick up for the poor rich cartel / gang member. What do you think could be their justification in sticking up for the real bad cartel people, because we are too mean to another human. “CARTEL MEMBERS ARE NOT HUMAN”!! All that is needed is a couple of pictures of folks being beheaded or dis-em-bowled, plus genital mutilation or whatever those animals always come up with. I bet if they knew they were the actual targets, you would see them crawl so fast under that rock where they came from, all because we would drone them into oblivion. Sounds great to me! And we don’t have to go thousands of miles to do it. Hell, even our family members could visit their rear R&R bases as the war continues, vs. now, they are never home, and for what. Some fat rich cat who hates us anyway in the middle east. Enough already, besides, it’s time to pick a new target for our technology folks. They must be getting bored droning those middle east jerks back to the stone age! So now is a good time for another as*s-who*oping from a different part of the world this time. “OUR OWN BACKYARD!!!”
They would be probably stu*pid enough to think that might play in the public, but we all know anyone that supports a “CARTEL” / “GANG” member that is selling drugs to our kids and others, would be destroyed by the public “JUST” for siding with a cartel person, and no matter the color, PERIOD!
SO yes President Trump, go for it! Besides what’s Nancy, Chucky and any others going to say, STOP, STOP, STOP, you are picking on that poor millionaire cartel person all because he is of some color or another. As if that makes a difference to those who die because of their vile crap! IT’s time to get us out of all the foreign countries and let them fight their own battles, then we can focus on ridding ourselves of those just across the border. Wipe them out, and lets see if the Dem-on’s fight for America, or the poor rich kid cartel king/queen from Mexico or any other South American country. I’d like to stick around and help support that kind of fight, especially with the use of our military on the other side of the border and any other South American shlt&hole country, trying to peddle this drug crap again, can then be added to the “TERRORIST” list ready to either join us in fixing the drug problem in their own country, or face the same annihilation as the Cartels! As far as I am concerned, completely pulverize their as*es should they decide to support the other side. And so it goes for the lousy Leftist as*swi*pes! Vap;orize them all into oblivion! Look how many American Adults, and Kids would be saved, with no more drug distribution available, or cartels paying off a crooked Hillary / Bill type. Is it not worth fighting them even if it saves just one AMERICAN’S life? I know so! PERIOD!
Pelosi is calling for all illegals to have the right to vote, thets insanity!!!!!!
Need Voter ID tied to your Social Security Number and fingerprint & Retina scan now!
I am outraged at Mitch McConnell and his inability to have the Senate do a simple majority vote to fund the WALL immediately. He has too many RINO’s like Collins, Murkowski, Alexander, Romney.
In the private sector these people would be marginalized, removed from all committees, and scorned upon by their fellow employees!
Build the WALL!!!!!!
Yes, The President should take the war to the Drug Cartel because they are flooding the United States with poison that is killing Americans. But first, he needs to build the wall so these murdering cartel criminals can’t come to America for revenge.
YES!
Agree. I am outraged at Mitch McConnell and his inability to have the Senate do a simple majority vote to fund the WALL immediately. He has too many RINO’s like Collins, Murkowski, Alexander, Romney.
In the private sector these people would be marginalized, removed from all committees, and scorned upon by their fellow senators!
Yesterday Pelosi is saying all illegals should vote, are these RINO’s that myopic, stop the problem today! Build the WALL!!!!!!
I am so mad I discontinued my modest GOP contributions, I hope other disappointed supporters do the same!
The CARTELS have, for a long time, been smuggling Al-Qaeda, and Hamas TERRORISTS across the border at EL PASO and unguarded sections of the border. Have a look at Juditial Watch Investigations have discovered, and who is RESPONSIBLE. Also at who was and is, being PAID OFF in order for it to flourish. Hint……… Who keeps Voting AGAINST Border Security????
The Cartels have, for a long time, been smuggling Al-Qaeda and Hamas terrorists into the US, all with the APPROVAL of Democrat, and RINO Leadership.
How can we be in a free state if the general government is always calling the shots? The second amendment guarantees us a free state through a well regulated militia system not tied to the military/national Guard/”general government” it made of local people that actually live there. If this were in place we wouldn’t be talking to much about war.
Remember Vietnam and 27 years in the middle east. Build The wall and let us locals clean house! Constitutionally Ofcourse.
Anything to keep the us in a state of war.
yes, we love war, but the war we badly need to save this country, needs to start now. a civil war is the most important one to win. the left must be stopped. deadly force is the only thing that will stop them.
The democommunists will fight it, as they are receiving a lot of money from the Cartels.
EXACTLY, kill the sonsabitches, wipe them out!!! Hang some of them from bridges so others can see.
thank you….
GO FOR IT Mr. President!!! They ARE ATTACKING the United States and I believe the Armed Services of the U.S. SHOULD BE USED !!
This is a a completely valid question, “are the cartels acting as terrorist orgs ? ”
The answer is clearly yes. Mass murders, beheadings and all manner of torture ? How is any of it any different at all than ISIS ? No question we should call them what they are and defend ourselves accordingly !
Why has congress not talked about and changed the Flores agreement ? You are being betrayed and forced to pay for all the insanity you see daily ! And it is not only by the DEMs. BOehner, Ryan , McConnell and now McCarthy were all playing ball with the status quo and still are in spades ! You are the fools for sitting by and allowing it all !

What I wonder is why is it that MS-13 Already a terrorist org.? Every thing that they are involved in is terroristic activity, drugs and murder arson.
They are obviously a big democommunist constituency, as the democommunist party protects them at every turn.
Put a $500 bounty on each head. The problem will be gone in a year.
Long overdue. I think we should go after them BEFORE they enter our borders. Let the Army Rangers and the Navy Seals hunt them down and wipe them off the face of the earth.
they are already here……
Right on, my brother!
Cap that hole at the dam.
Destroying those cartels completely, for now, would alleviate an enormous enabler in the whole run-for-the-border scheme. What so many fail to accept, is that once the cartel “marks” those illegals, they then become slaves, literally, to them.
Veritable agents of misfortune running amok in OUR country.
They don’t need Rangers or SEALs. They just need a few F-15 2040C’s.
Mr.President: Please ask Congress to pass a Declaration of War Bill against specific known Drug Cartels so that you will have the resources necessary to win it. You then will be able to send our warriors against them and win..
Not only declare war (again) on terrorism to now include criminal gangs, but further declare (and enforce) a “No Sanctuary” policy to let both friend and enemies alike that if they give safe harbor to narcoterrorists, but human traffickers, etc., we will follow and eliminate the threat by any means necessary. (“Send in the drones.”)
