A day after finally appearing to acknowledge the gravity of the coronavirus pandemic and the massive loss of American lives, President Donald Trump began his latest White House briefing on Wednesday by shifting the focus to drug cartels and at one point boasting about being “number one” on Facebook.
“As governments and nations focus on the coronavirus, there's a growing threat that cartels, criminals, terrorists and other malign actors will try to exploit the situation for their own gain, and we must not let that happen," Trump said. “We will never let that happen.”
Trump then announced that the United States was starting “enhanced counter narcotics operations in the western hemisphere,” in an effort to “protect the American people from the deadly scourge of illegal narcotics.”
