Whoops: Trump made a few mistakes by calling New Hampshire a drug-infested den

It sounds obvious, but apparently not obvious enough to President Trump: Don't insult an entire state. Especially one that's critical to you and your party's future election hopes.

But just six days after getting inaugurated, Trump went there.

“I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den,” Trump told Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto in a phone call between the two world leaders. The call was private, but The Post's Greg Miller obtained the transcript — plus an equally eyebrow-raising one of a call with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

Back to Trump casually depicting an entire state as one big heroin den. There are quite a few things that could come back to haunt Trump politically based on that one sentence.
