In the aftermath of the shock announcement that Trump would meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, he touched upon his relationship with the man he once publicly derided as “little Rocket Man.” Trump chided the crowd when they started go boo Kim, saying “we have to be very nice” ahead of the scheduled summit. It marked Trump’s most explicit public statements on the topic although he previously praised Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte who is leading a campaign of alleged extrajudicial killings against drug dealers and users. “I don’t know if this country is ready but I think it’s a discussion we have to start thinking about.” Trump acknowledged how controversial the concept was. In contrast, he noted “a drug dealer will kill 2,000 to 5,000 people during the course of his life”. “If someone goes and shoots somebody, kills somebody they get the death penalty,” said Trump. Trump noted China once had a problem with “the opium” that was “devastating” and went on to explain his bafflement that murderers were treated more harshly than drug dealers. He confirmed reports that that he had been floating the idea of imposing a death penalty on drug dealers by a long discourse where he praised the criminal justice system in China.
