Trump called New Hampshire a 'drug-infested den' in call to Mexico

Trump called New Hampshire a 'drug-infested den' in call to Mexico
BY JORDAN FABIAN - 08/03/17 10:00 AM EDT

President Trump called New Hampshire a “drug-infested den” during a heated phone call in January with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, according to a transcript obtained by The Washington Post and published on Thursday.

“We have a massive drug problem where kids are becoming addicted to drugs because the drugs are being sold for less money than candy,” the president said. “I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.”

Trump won the Republican presidential primary in the Granite State but lost there to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the general election.

His comments sparked a furious reaction from New Hampshire's elected officials.

or do anything at a moment's notice without the slightest degree of thought or the remotest concern for the consequences. The most dangerous person ever to (unfortunately) have occupied the Oval Office.
