[left-of-center2012]

He often jokes about killing drug dealers...
He’ll say, 'You know the Chinese and Filipinos don’t have a drug problem. They just kill them.'

4. China: Corrupt Polliticians can get the "Death Penalty"

Hello Trump Family & Friends..

China allows death penalty for 'extremely serious' corruption cases

Chinese authorities have ruled that those found guilty of high-sum embezzlement or bribe-taking could now face execution. The move is part of China's anti-corruption campaign, but the punishment will not be mandatory.

Graft cases involving an "extraordinarily huge value" of three million yuan ($463,000; 409,700 euros) or more may incur the death penalty, the Supreme People's Court and China's prosecuting body on Monday.

Officials who are found guilty of such "extremely serious cases" will be eligible for the penalty if their actions "caused extremely vile social impact and extremely significant losses to the state's and the people's interests," China's Xinhua news agency cited their joint "judicial explanation" as saying.

The Drug Trafficker Donald Trump Risked His Casino Empire to Protect

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-drug-trafficker-donald-trump-risked-his-casino-empire-to-protect

Long ago, when Trump was the big man in Atlantic City, he got his helicopters to bring his high-rollers in and out of town through a company formed by Joseph Weichselbaum, to whom he also entrusted maintenance of the Ivana, Trump’s personal helicopter. Spy, a satirical magazine that often made fun of Trump, reported that Weichselbaum—at that point a twice-convicted felon—personally piloted the Trumps in that copter.


Weichselbaum also had another business: importing drugs from Colombia and shipping them from Bradford Motors, a Miami-area car dealership he partly owned, to Cincinnati

6. So that means

If trump was part of a drug supply operation for his big whales at his Atlantic city casino operation he was part of dealing drugs to his high rollers, and guilty too?

Just a nagging suspicion.
